Choose Your Own Adventure Books

I may have mentioned before in this post about one of the popular books in the 80's and 90's. Another favorite book of teens that time was Choose Your Own Adventure. Has any of you read these books? My brother was an avid reader and he would get mad at me every time I'd touch his book collection.

I really can't say much because I didn't read these books but was only able to browse through it when my brother was not around (sshh!! LOL!). I tried looking for his collection so I can take pictres but I can't find them. He was still probably hiding it somewhere from me. so I'm posting an image of the book from Google.

Sweet Books

To all the ladies of my generation does these names ring a bell: Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield? If you're screaming Sweet Valley High, then you are correct!!! I was once an avid reader of these books. Actually I started reading Sweet Valley Twins when I was in grade school then at grade 5 I think, I started reading Sweet Valley High. Most of the kids in school were reading these books. I had a couple of them and some of my classmates would borrow them and sadly were never returned. Thus, the remains of my collection were left to 8 books (see 3rd picture).



There was also Sweet Dreams that was more popular to high school students back then because it tackled more "mature" concepts like letting go, death, etc. There was this one book from this series entitled P.S. I Love You. I really can't remember the whole story but I remember crying and sobbing after reading it. I was left with two Sweet Dreams book (see 4th picture) and since P.S. I Love You was one of the favorites, the one who "borrowed" it forgot to return it to me. LOL!

Question, why are these books all start with the word Sweet??? Hmmm...
