WLP’s 1st Challenge : VC Andrews
July 8, 2010 in Books & Reviews
I was on Twitter (stop me if you’ve heard this one) chatting with @staciakane , @psynde & @johnnie_cakes about VC Andrews & how shocking it is NOW that most of us had read Flowers in the Attic when we were kids. Funny thing is, I don’t remember much about it other then I know I should have been horrified & it wasn’t something I should have read as a kid. Turns out most of us got our introduction into smut through Flowers!

Anyways, we all decided to re-read Flowers in the Attic this August. So I figured we could make it into a challenge kinda thing & we can all meet back at the end of August or mid-September & talk about it, now as adults.
I found this
So who is in? Leave a comment & at the end of the month I will list everyone who is in & when we can start!
Oh HELL YES I want some Flowers In The Attic!
Thats my girl! lol
Im SO in! sign me up please Nat! I loved these books long before i knew what smut was lol. Amazing we all broke our smut cherries on the same book =P
Is it just Flowers we’re to read or the whole series ? =)
I figure we start with Flowers, then see how many people want to keep going!
I’m SO in!
I was just thinking I should re-read it…I don’t barely remember it!
Hit Chapters for sure, that book is 2 in 1 for 9.99! Whoo Hoo!
I’m in. I actually have quite a few packed away. There was one he wrote…I need to find the title…that REALLY blew me away. Went above and beyond his normal shit.
The Casteel series was also a winner.
I’m going to try Andrews (ghost writer)’s stuff next!
I totally read the Casteel Saga too! Heaven and Logan? Or they were the Logans. 2 decades has killed those brain cells. I HAVE TO check out the ghost writer’s stuff now too. For some reason I thought it was VC’s own son doing the writing lol
I have heard daughter, but nope. We moved on and look where we end up, back to the same shit we read as pervy kids! lol
The only other ones I’ve read other than the Flowers series was My Sweet Audrina, and that was MESSED UP too!
We MUST do that one too!
I’m in to re-live my warped smutty teenage days. *sighs*
lmfao
I’m pretty sure I remember reading this either in elementary school or jr high even
I was 10, stole them from my sisters! lol
Apparently I am the only one who never read these. So count me in.
Who Hoo! I can’t believe you and Smexy (Mandi) haven’t read them
We were too busy with our future husbands I think. I started hanging with Shug when I was 10, corrupted him to being more than a friend by 13, had an official dating status by 15. He was hard to trank, but I got him in the end.
LMFAO then you should have read these books
Hey. I’d like to be in the challenge. I loved those books.
Still read them.
The more the merrier!
You know I’m in! I can’t wait! Have you seen this bizarre and creepy cover for the book?

Oh. Eww. But weirdly enough, I love it in a creepy kinda way! lol It’s so innocent, little do you know….
Oh me, count me in! This was also my first intro to smut…I remember reading the naughty parts and thinking…huh, wait, let me read that again. And again. Bad ole’ girl in the making.
LMFAO you were so not alone!
I’m so NOT in. Once was enough thank you. I think I was too naive to be disturbed by this book when I was a teenager. I’m disturbed now but maybe for other reasons I don’t know. LOL. Y’all have a good time with this one, I’ll just watch this round.
Every party has a pooper!!!! Just kidding Vixen, we understand!
Yep, that’s me…no incest lovin’ party pooper. I’m so damn vanilla. HA!!
That’s why I love you, corruption is my strong suit
aww
I haven’t read Flowers in the Attic though I had read others by VC Andrews a few days before I ended up in the hospital (nothing major). I was disturbed by what I did read but, hell, I’ll go there again! =)
LMFAO we all were…but sadly I have no real memories other then WTF
Holy crap…. I did read that book – it was creepy. And I think I was roughly in 8th grade. How wrong was that? Apparently not that wrong if so many others have read it too. I may have to join in on this just for nostalgia! Thanks!!
Whoo Hoo! Another one in!
Shame! I haven’t read this, even as a kid. I guess the time is now eh? I’m in.
First I can’t believe you’ve never read them…second you WILL be so disturbed after reading FitA
I’m in of course!
You better be
IN obvi
woot woot
I’m in… I can remember reading the whole series when I was younger… Couldnt get enough
I still can’t believe how many of us read these so young
Wow, never read these, but I’m in. Why not? Something different and I’ve got to know what the fuss is about now. Curiousity and all that…lol
Ohh don’t blame me when you are emotionally disturbed for the rest of your life lol
VCA was a staple back in Catholic school. Good times… I could totally be convinced to read them again
….. thank you Spaz!
YAY! I am so happy you’ll be joining us!!
I’m in for sure! I read these books so long ago I can’t remember anything about them!
I’ve never read it- but I’m late and in =) No one wants to tell me what the booksie is about though…
Muahahah I shall convert you yet!
ha what ARE they about i don’t even remember?
incest? lol i guess that would make everyone NOT want to read it
LMFAO I only remember incest
[...] is the original post about it, if you still want to sign up comment here or [...]
I’m in.
I think I was more creeped out by the movie when I saw it as everything felt more real to me as a kind then.
I saw the movie before reading the book too! In reading it after, I thought the movie did an awesome job at capturing the really dark and farreeeaky feel the book takes on. The MOM? Whoa.
there was a MOVIE??
Yes! 1987
Louise Fletcher was Grandma, Christy Swenson was daughter. It’s creepy as hell, too!
