Many

Sweet Valley University: Secret Love Diaries: Elizabeth Elizabeth & Todd almost get back together at a wedding.  Oh please save us the longing after the slacker and get Liz and Todd back together.  Have you guessed I believe they belong together?

Sweet Valley Senior Year: Touch and Go Alanna and Conner - can't they go off somewhere together & not bug the rest of us.  And Andy again why do I care about the new people?  Though it's fun to watch Melissa finally get what's coming to her - but since when is Aaron stupid?

No Regrets Judy Robertson

This is about a family that left the Mormon church.  I'm not sure again how to describe it, but it's a must read for anyone who wants to know anything about Mormons.  While they say they are Christians, the truth is very different.

Nancy Drew Casefiles Out of Bounds by Carolyn Keene

Nancy investigates a theft at a restaurant because she meets the waitress falsely accused.  One question how is she able to go undercover in the same town, at the same high school that she did in book 1 and now in book 45.

Not my usual

Celebration USA by Douglas Frantz and Catherine Collins

Interesting.  So many books that study something socially are so obvious about their politics, but this tries to be neutral.  And it's good.  The idea of Disney creating a town is very odd.  It's supposed to be vanilla but the authors think more poor people should have been involved.  Still not sure how that would have helped.  I'm not sure what to say I really enjoyed the book, but it's just different from my usual romance.

 

And I got my new Laura Ingalls Wilder newsletter today.  Others may find it wierd, but I find it fascinating.
