I have found a couple of bulk lots on eBay that had 10 to 15 titles in them. Thriftbooks is a good source, although the searches have to be done by individual title. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Dreams_%28novel_series%29" rel="nofollow">This Wikipedia page</a> has a list of the titles and authors. You can get free shipping with an order of $10 or more. The books start at $3.59 each, so three books will get free shipping.Jennifer Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10405593758228423001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157530669780468545.post-39945711548884524152016-05-27T11:36:52.339-05:002016-05-27T11:36:52.339-05:00I just got done reading your Teen Witch post, made...I just got done reading your Teen Witch post, made me realize that I never read that 4th one. I loved the third one set in the Civil War. <br /><br />Those Sweet Dreams books are intriguing, I love fluffy 80s books.

I did read just a few of them back in the late 1980s. I'm not sure how many, but it was probably fewer than a dozen titles. I remember Laurie's Song.<br /><br />I loved Sweet Valley High and still revisit them occasionally. I never had any Girls of Canby Hall books. Strangely, I don't recall even knowing that they existed. I read the first one last year and liked it enough to build the set. I know I will enjoy them.<br /><br />I read Teen Witch last year, which was new to me. They have the same carefree feel of Sweet Valley High and similar books.Jennifer Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10405593758228423001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157530669780468545.post-76237379264226618452016-04-30T23:12:25.644-05:002016-04-30T23:12:25.644-05:00I admire your commitment to reading series books. ...I admire your commitment to reading series books. I adore them myself. You have amazing ambition where reading is concerned. I'm completely in awe of it.<br /><br />I remember reading the Girls of Canby Hall and Sweet Dreams series in the 1980s, and still have a few. Just FYI in case you've never read the Sweet Dreams series. They are basically a series in name only. They are completely separate stories and were basically clean teen romances. Frankly, I wish there were books for teens this uncomplicated today. They are numbered, just like romance series are numbered today, but the order and fact that they are a series only indicates that they are similar stories by the same publisher. You could read number 1 or 200 and not be lost. They were basically fun fluffy tales with girls who had high school problems that 80s girls like myself thought we had - no date to the dance, homework trouble, friend trouble, etc.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05097441437159417314noreply@blogger.com
