It's been decided. When I get to the end of Evelina -- yes, I'm still slogging through it a couple of pages at a time and am done for the moment with even pretending to enjoy it, but maybe it'll pick up toward the end -- I'm going to read The Zanzibar Chest, which has been on my shelf itching to be read for nearly two years now.

speaking of reading...
Where on earth did you find that fabulous Sweet Valley High cover. I had the whole series and somehow lost the whole box full during my move! Who is that, Elizabeth and Lila?
Sweet Valley High!
Here's the image in its original context:
It's Elizabeth and the twins' vampy New York cousin, Suzanne Devlin.
I pick up old SVH books at used book stores, particularly bookstores in public libraries. There's also a GREAT used book store in a mall in Roseville, MN where I find some wonderful old stuff.
Now you've got me itching to do a redesign! Or new banner image, rather: I don't ever really change the actual design of this site.
I'm going to the library today!
I've got to check that out. Elizabeth is the reason I started writing--No lie! I've seen the new series, but the covers can't compare. I'm anxious to see your new banner image. I'll check back.
Book covers
Yeah, I'm a real stickler about book covers. If I buy any vintage books, they have to be from the same print run as the ones I read when I was a kid. Here are some scans of some of my other books: here, here, here, here, here, and here.
