It's the end of an era...

I just weeded the entire Sweet Valley Twins collection from the library.

Goodbye Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield. Your blonde hair, blue-green eyes, dimples, and California sun-kissed skin will live on in my memory forever.

I also weeded the entire "Full House" collection, which went completely unmourned by me. Now if people would only stop reading the Mary-Kate and Ashley series...

I'm afraid the kids of today have moved on to other series. Although they're reissuing the Babysitter's Club with new covers, so you never know. There may be a Sweet Valley Twins revival in the future. They've already tried a Sweet Valley High reissue. Not sure how that went but I think even Jessica's antics may be too tame for the Gossip Girl set.

Did Choose Your Own Adventure survive?

Yes actually, they did. They're reissuing them with pretty new covers, so they'll be safe from my evil librarian clutches for awhile yet. ;)
