Can't decide what to recap? Save time and...read this post :)
Inspired by a post a while back in 1bruce1 about which Sweet Valley books had yet to be tackled for recaps (color me very impressed they got the whole of the main series covered :D). I don't see a similar list for this comm, so here I am going back and forth through the tags and the book lists on Wikipedia to compile it. Feel to smack me if there's a boo-boo. And also mind the book descriptions as I am directly C&Ping.
