Anyone remember their childhood obsessions? Fear Street, Goosebumps, Hardy Boys? I loved Sweet Valley High so much that I bought every edition from the year it started until the end, and purchasing every spin off book (The Unicorn Club, SVU, Sweet Valley Twins) and the game. My love for Sweet Valley knew no bounds. Until the day that they decided a television show was needed and massacred the cast and the storylines. The first time I saw the show, I was ddisappointed. The second time, I decided it was time to hang up my Sweet Valley jacket and donate the books. I still regret getting rid of those books to this day.

The Chalet School by Elinor M. Brent-Dyer. They are British boarding school novels I started collecting during summer vacations in Ireland. I still don't have them all because some were never reprinted, but now a new publisher is reprinting the unabridged versions in the UK. Of course, at $23/book, they are a little pricey, but I'm trying to collect them all.
Between the ages of about seven and eleven I read nothing but Star Trek novels... I also liked the Pony Pals series when I was younger though, and that's probably closer to your experience with SVH! I was obsessed with horses, they were obsessed with horses... it was meant to be.
I've never heard of either of those :( They sound really good!
I was a big fan of Babysitters Club!
My favorite series would have to be R.L. Stine and I actually have read a few of them now that I am older. I also have some of the movies from when I was younger and have watched them with my son. I still enjoy them!
