The Internet was too young when the shameless Sweet Valley High made its debut, but now it's grown up -- and ready to parody.
A new Twitter account, Paperback Paradise, brilliantly photoshops '90s paperbacks and gives the them the titles they deserve. No, you're not reading some cheap branded Michelle from Full House paperback. You're reviewing Michelle from Full House: "Robbed of my Childhood," a story that more accurately reflects her crappy childhood reality.
