My first recap in lots of years.  Hope I'm not too rusty at it!  This is the final book in the second SVU lifeguard trilogy, in which Jessica, Elizabeth, Nina, and Winston have wacky adventures on the beach during a summer vacation that exists in some kind of alternate dimension to the regular SVU series. The first book, Beauty and the Beach, has ( Read more... )

Let me begin this recap by saying that I am unable to find a suitable unit of measurement (metric or otherwise) that accurately conveys the awesomeness within. It's one of those trippy fantasy ones, like my all-time favourite Uh-Oh Seven, except instead of spy novels, they're spoofing soap operas. I love everything about it.

Random story: Lately, a single recap of mine on this site (ironically, one that DID NOT HAPPEN) has been bombarded with inappropriate spambot comments. Only that recap. And when I say inappropriate, I mean one of the subject lines was 'woman being crucified porn.' Yeah, humanity. That's a thing now. Crucifixion fetish. Jesus must be more popular ( Read more... )

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... )

If Sweet Valley television is like the life of a serial killer, then this is the moment where it commits its first murder. Sure, there have been some completely insane moments before this, but everything else has been animal cruelty and juvenile hall compared to this. I think it's at some point after this episode was made that the producers ( Read more... )

In honor of Valentine’s day, I’ve skipped ahead a bit so I could post this recap of Sweet Valley Kids #65: Steven’s Big Crush. There are hearts on the cover so I assume it’s appropriate for this most commercial of holidays!

This is the Sweet Valley book that the movie Single White Female threw up all over. It’s all about Isabella Ricci (I keep wanting to call her Isabella Rosselini, something about the name & the short hair), with a little Jessica thrown in for good measure. Firstly, though, um, although I’m aware this book is a blatant rip-off of it, I actually ( Read more... )
