SWEET VALLEY AND M & B

As a typical Nigerian child i grew up reading Enid Blyton's books and it was rather fascinating. She had different series like Famous Five, Secret Seven, The Mallory Towers Series, St Claires, The Three Golliwogs and so many others.Those books were my favorite read in Elementary school but when i got to QC, i found there was a different demand and that was most especially for the Sweet Valley Series. There was Sweet Valley Kids, Sweet Valley High and Sweet Valley University. Anyone who had any of those books had a treasure.Girls would swap garri or cereal to read Sweet Valley. It had become an addiction for some, i remember how some girls would put the book in between textbooks so that it would appear like the textbook was being read and that happened during English literature. Other books a QC girl may give up lunch or their early morning bread and egg for was Mills and Boon romance Collection of novels. Danielle Steel as well as Harlequin Romance a subsidiary of Mills and Boon. Great Memories.
