Hi, Rebecca! The best part was that they were all on sale so they each only cost the equivalent of one or two US dollars!

I still have most of the original Sweet Valley Twins, High and University series. :) And Some of the sagas. *sigh* Memories.

Love the new background, by the way (yeah, I've been gone awhile). Belated happy birthday!

I read Sweet Valley books before and I find it sort of weird that new versions of it just keep on coming out. Haha. Does it have new characters? :)

Austenfan, the plots and characters are exactly the same. They just updated the books. :o) For example, instead of the twins talking to their friends on the telephone, they are talking to their friends on their cellphones. Their high school still has a newspaper. But their newspaper is now online. Elizabeth still writes for the school news... In fact, she is a blogger! Their car has been updated too, etc. But same themes, issues, problems, etc. :o)
