[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

LOL, what was objectionable about Sweet Valley High?[/quote]

:D My mom thought they were trashy and not serious enough! I wonder if she remembers that. I will have to ask. Why didn't they ever get made into movies, I wonder?[/quote]

There was a TV series - your parent probably found a way to block at your house. :-) Unnecessary trivia fact of the day - Cole Hauser's (from Yellowstone) wife played one of the twins.  No monitoring at my house - harlequin, Jackie Collins, Lace, Princess Daisy, Danielle Steele, VC Andrews, The Clan of the Cave Bear, etc.  I will occasionally still read a harlequin if I have 45 minutes to spare and want to zone out - I recognize that the are all essentially the same book, but sometimes I just want an easy/quick read (I read plenty of other things as well). I assume that some of the teen fantasy stories my DD is reading are just as explicit, but I don't monitor.   [/quote]
