Sweet Valley High grownup sequel cover released.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Oh god, I kind of want to read that.

Because books.
I feel so out of the loopy that I never read Sweet Valley books. I did audition to write one once, though.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I never read the Sweet Valley books. I think I'm too old or they were too trendy.

You're not much older than me, Laga? I was probably a bit older than the target audience (which I think was younger than the twins) when I started them, and I seem to recall we're about the same age.
Not that I bought them or shit. Let's be clear. It was other people's copies I was reading.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm 36, and my best friend read a ton of them in 7th-8th grade, but I refused.

I'll be 42 in January. Holy crap.

A lot of girl readers, especially, read *up* pretty quickly, so by the time I was in seventh grade I was reading mostly Stephen King and other adult authors. I'm also 43, though, so I think was too old when those came out.
For series, I remember reading the Beany Malone books from the library, though. And Nancy Drew, of course.

I was reading Agatha Christie and books with sex in them.
