Okay, now that it’s officially September, it’s time to start looking forward to all the new shows the networks are trying to ‘tempt’ us with, as well as the return of our beloved favorites! This fall, I’ll be recapping episodes of The Vampire Diaries, a surprise favorite of mine last year. But first!
It’s time we squared-off the television show with the books by L. J. Smith that inspired them! I enlisted the help of reader/friend Talya, who is a super fan of L. J. Smith (or at least was when she was 12, and therefore has many fond memories and is STILL waiting for the final installment of The Night World Series, dammit!). Who will win? I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure the Salvatore brothers are about to KO somebody!

here at FYA HQ, we firmly believe in talking the talk AND walking the walk. we don’t just read books, WE LIVE IN THEM. we don’t just constantly refer to cocktails, WE DRINK THEM.
that’s why, after all of our rhapsodizing about slumber parties, we felt like it was HIGH TIME we threw one in real life. and since meghan lives in a state that is not TX and is therefore too inconsequential to be named, her recent visit to houston provided the perfect opportunity for the four of us to get together and SLUMBER PARTY IT UP.
now, i’m sure you’re all familiar with the necessary ingredients for a successful sleepover: doritos, champ cans, a john hughes movie and smokin’ hot gossip. but if you really want to take yr party to the Next Level, you need something more. something scandalous. something provocative. something ridiculously cray cray enough to induce binge drinking.
i’m speaking, of course, about THE SWEET VALLEY HIGH BOARD GAME!
