They are REISSUING THE SWEET VALLEY HIGH SERIES!

I repeat, they are REISSUING all the adventures of Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield.

I was OB-sessed with SVH when I was but a wee one, and read the first, oh, 50 books or so before I moved on to more sophisticated reads (which, as I recall, was, like, Danielle Steel).

I wanted a lavaliere. I wanted Lila Fowler's clothes and money. I was on Team Todd. I wanted to go to the Dairy Burger. I still giggle thinking about Bruce's license plate. I thought Francine Pascal was on par with Jane Austen or Emily Bronte, if I'd known who they were at the time. I looked forward to the "super editions" or "super thrillers" where the twins went on adventures. I always had a crush on Guy the sensitive keyboardist. I thought a Fiat Spider was the coolest.car.ever.

I shouldn't be this excited, but I am. I still have all those novels tucked away in the safety of my parent's attic, unable to part with a single one. I just might have to read Double Love again, when it's reissued...

And, my word, I had forgotten about all that fabu cover art...

(I just giggled myself silly over the Sweet Valley High wikipedia entry. Hee.)

C'mon, I can't be the only one...
