[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read them all. [b]My Mother had no idea what I was reading.[/b] I was also reading Stephen King and James Herbert in my early teens. I’m not a psychopath. [/quote]

My parents didn't "let" me read anything. I don't think they had any clue what I was reading at any given time. Everything I read, I got from the library or passed along from a friend. [/quote]

My parents weren't paying attention to what I was reading either - it's so funny because it's not like now where you can just discreetly read on a Kindle. Those covers didn't hide much! And for sure I read VC Andrews - plus Wifey, and a lot of other very provocative books. The only thing I remember my parents objecting to was Sweet Valley High, now that I think of it.[/quote]

Most people read Sweet Valley high in late elementary or early middle school where I lived. There were couples and kisses in those books, but no detailed descriptions of anything.

7th grade was when I remember girls finding Danielle Steel and VC Andrews. It was before YA was even thing, so we had outgrown SVH and the "older" Nancy Drew series (anyone remember that? something like The Nancy Drew Files), but probably weren't really ready for adult content. Oops.

I'm glad YA is a thing now. More adult themes without the graphic depictions. [/quote]
