The Other Woman has already been done, but I can't not recap this. I can't not. It's impossible for me to not. This was my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE book in the SVU series when I was a kid, because A) Jessica has sex, which I always thought was scandalous whenever it happened; 2) Elizabeth's reporting puts her in danger; and 3) because Bruce and Lila.

Truth be told, I went to retrieve this book from my local op shop for one reason and one reason only: I had to know how the ghostwriter was going to sum up the, er, events of the last book. I mean, Tom showed his undercarriage to a stadium full of unsuspecting Chicagoans, and I could simply not live another day without knowing how they were going ( Read more... )

100% brutal honesty: this post happened by accident. It happened because I got drunk with some friends and we watched The Breakfast Club. Watching The Breakfast Club (which takes place almost entirely in a school library) made me think of that One Tree Hill episode where Jimmy shot up the school and Peyton and Lucas hid in the library. Thinking of ( Read more... )

It's back to the fourth season today, for one reason and one reason only -- this episode is so booktastic. It's not based on any of the old-school plots per se, but it's got a ton of elements that I remember loving the books for, and that's good enough for me.

Previously on Sweet Valley High: Sweet Valley and Palisades Big Mesa began their High School War. Jessica started dating Christian Gorman, the leader of the Big Mesa gang. Elizabeth continued to date Devon Whitelaw, who last week went all Lima Heights Adjacent on a BM guy who messed with his motorbike. Meanwhile, Todd went all Lima Heights Adjacent ( Read more... )

Today's episode comes from season four, and you know why? Because it's one of the many episodes to come that are based on my personal favourite SVH book miniseries, the  Betrayal collection with the Sweet Valley/Palisades brouhaha. Or as I like to call it, the Let's Call Each Other Absurd Names, Beat The Crap Out Of Everyone And Then Die From A Pool ( Read more... )

This book is one of the most awesome books not to be recapped on this site. I can't understand why it hasn't been. Summer! Romance! Everyone living in a huge three-storey house together and having fun! It's amazing. I mean, look at the cover:

Alright, here it is. The detailled, in-depth recap of SVC we've been waiting for. It took me forever to finish this, because the book is really long and the tenses and POVs jump all over the freaking place. (I've put the flashback parts in a different colour, just to make things easier.) Because the book is long and hard to follow, the recap might ( Read more... )

All right, here we go with the last section!

Hi, guys! This is my second recap here and I hope it's better than my first one. I know there already is a recap of this one now, but I'd started this and had so much fun with it, I had to post it as well. Hope that's okay with everyone! Please excuse the multitudes of ()s - I have a tendency to throw in a LOT of side thoughts.  One other thing?  ( Read more... )
