SV Day 4

4. Favorite Book:

   Do I have a favorite? *muse* I re-read The Evil Twin every year but I'm not sure I'd call it my favorite. For SVH, I'm probably going to go with Dear Sister because I did read it pretty early in my SVH run and it's a purple cover and it's pretty much a classic SVH book. You've got your farfetched coma, your twin bond that overcomes medicine and science (sorta, I mean you do talk to coma patients, but we all know it was the power of Jess that pulled Liz through), your twin personality switch... there's so much in such a small book.




   For SVT, it's a toss up between The Magic Christmas which is a fantasy epic that I'm kind of sad they never revisited and kind of glad at the same time because this way the magic remains intact, and The Carnival Ghost which is one of those books I remember reading for the first time and loving. I also remember putting the book on my windowsill and going downstairs to get a snack or something and all day it'd been overcast and the skies opened up and of course my window was open and yeah, the book was ruined but I could not wait to buy another copy (or hit the library), so I broke out the hair dryer so I could finish it. And I cried because my copy was beyond ruined, btw. But the story itself is deliciously creepy and it's one that sucked me in and I loved it. SO MUCH.

Yum, early classic SVH is still the best! Dear Sister was the last vestige of the attempt at normality. It's OTT and fun but the characters' reactions are in the realm of possibility. Meanwhile, by the time Liz is kidnapped in #13 Kidnapped!, the idea of the reality train has left the station, LOL.

Classic!SVH is my all-time fave. So much 80s goodness. So. Much!!

*cackles* I mean, Kidnapped is still probably slightly more realistic than other kidnapping capers SVH throws our way later on but yeah, the series went nuts pretty early on.

Classic SVH is ♥
