Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
I feel so out of the loopy that I never read Sweet Valley books. I did audition to write one once, though.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I never read the Sweet Valley books. I think I'm too old or they were too trendy.

You're not much older than me, Laga? I was probably a bit older than the target audience (which I think was younger than the twins) when I started them, and I seem to recall we're about the same age.
Not that I bought them or shit. Let's be clear. It was other people's copies I was reading.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm 36, and my best friend read a ton of them in 7th-8th grade, but I refused.

A lot of girl readers, especially, read *up* pretty quickly, so by the time I was in seventh grade I was reading mostly Stephen King and other adult authors. I'm also 43, though, so I think was too old when those came out.
For series, I remember reading the Beany Malone books from the library, though. And Nancy Drew, of course.

I was reading Agatha Christie and books with sex in them.

I think the only series I read beforde high school was The Black Stallion. Oh and Narnia... Black Cauldron... OK I read a few.

I read VC Andrews in 7th grade. And one girl brought a Sidney Sheldon book to camp and would read the steamier passages to us at bedtime.
