SVT #25 - Standing Out

Apr 29, 2009 22:37

Hiiiiii! I just read my first SVT book and it was sooooo good I had to share it! ...err, okay, snark it. :D I grew up reading SVH -- and obsessively re-reading (I'll spare you the gory details of how anal I was about this). I remember lamenting the fact that I was too old to read the Twins' series when it came out. Hee! BUT ALAS, THIS ( Read more... )

LMAO. Excellent snark, I totally remember this book.
That part about Pervy Ned really creeped me out..how inappropriate was that?

lumy12 April 30 2009, 13:24:09 UTC

Thanks!

Yeah, no wonder Mr. Collins doesn't seem inappropriate to Liz later in life!!!

Ooh, I don't think I ever read this one.

I now want to. I think. Or maybe not.

At least the baseball parts were realistic...ish. I kind of want to read more now! But I'll stick to reading people's recaps :)

Ew, pedo!Ned. That's seriously creepy.

This book sounds seriously ridiculous. Really, she never noticed she was the only girl? Really?

And how convenient that she decided to start going by Belinda the very minute baby William was born.

LOL! Excellent snark, thanks, I've been missing this community!

lumy12 April 30 2009, 13:29:28 UTC

Yes, yes, and yes! lol

Thanks! Since I just discovered this glorious place, I have lots of recaps to catch up on. Once I catch up I'll probably miss it too... NEEDS MORE SNARK!

HAHAHAHA this book. Which I had never read, so thank you! And whoa, Billie = Belinda of later! That is crazy that she just decides to change what name she goes by and everyone, including the narrator, goes along with it for the rest of eternity. I don't think my school worked that way; you didn't actually get to pick what people called you, heh.

I am annoyed that they're making cookies in Home Ec though. What about that book a zillion titles later where Jess can't bake to save her life, except she magically makes the world's best cookies?

lumy12 April 30 2009, 13:34:11 UTC

The school would probably be okay with it, since it's her legal name -- she was probably correcting her teachers to say "Billie" the first day of class and all. But it's funny that everyone switches over so easily, yeah!

Haha, well, maybe if Lila had let her do stuff besides chop nuts, she'd get to mess up those cookies? #89... so far away from where I'm at... will.not.skip.ahead :)

This was the first Sweet Valley book I ever read too.

Excellent snark =]

lumy12 April 30 2009, 13:35:03 UTC

Awww, yay! I like baseball so I thought maybe it wouldn't be too painful. lol

Thanks ♥
