I think I got Flowers in the Attic from the library and then my mom bought me the entire series. She had no idea! I still have them all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-read-a-vc-andrews-book#post-1358826 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 19:45:57 +0000 blackbird 1358826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom read them but I never have! I did pick up one of moms books as an early teen, it was about triplet sisters and it had a lot of sex in it. I don't really read romance novels so LO is sol there </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-read-a-vc-andrews-book#post-1358820 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 19:44:08 +0000 delight 1358820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the reminder!! I love Heather Graham and am excited to see the remake. I read all the VC Andrews books in grade 7 and 8. They are so naughty! I'll be making sure my daughter does not read them that young! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-read-a-vc-andrews-book#post-1358819 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 19:43:29 +0000 cmomma17 1358819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never read any of these! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-read-a-vc-andrews-book#post-1358815 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 19:41:59 +0000 Anagram 1358815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Middle School. They were so evil and dark! But alllll of my friends read them. I would want my LO to wait until Middle School. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-read-a-vc-andrews-book#post-1358732 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 19:01:11 +0000 Katrocap 1358732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. I was terrified (yet secretly fascinated) by them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-read-a-vc-andrews-book#post-1358729 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 18:59:27 +0000 Synchronicity 1358729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm, I was probably in 7th or 8th grade. I had a whole pile of them. Probably a little early, considering some of her writing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-read-a-vc-andrews-book#post-1358722 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 18:56:11 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1358722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read them all in middle school...and I vividly remember being shocked that my mom had given them all to me. I had a huge collection at one point. Those book covers are the stuff nightmares are made of... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-read-a-vc-andrews-book#post-1358703 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 18:45:27 +0000 californiadreams 1358703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too young! I don't remember how old I was but I know I wasn't ready to read what I did ! I also don't remember the name of the story I read but it was a series where the main character was Dawn and she was either from or moved to New Orleans. I've wanted to go New Orleans ever since! She also fell in love with the man she thought was her brother growing up. That's all I remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-read-a-vc-andrews-book#post-1358680 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 18:34:41 +0000 edelweiss 1358680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>in 6th grade. while ideally i wouldn't want LO reading those books until later, if at all, since i did, i won't stop him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-read-a-vc-andrews-book#post-1358674 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 18:30:43 +0000 NurseMommy 1358674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: NO! It definitely is NOT a children's book! It's very dark with sexual and abusive themes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-read-a-vc-andrews-book#post-1358648 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 18:16:20 +0000 luckypenny 1358648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of these books! Why wouldn't you want DDs to read it early? Is it a children's book? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-read-a-vc-andrews-book#post-1358639 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 18:12:48 +0000 ALV91711 1358639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I first read her books in grade 8, I remember checking them out from the library. </p> <p>If I had a daughter I wouldn't want her reading them that young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-read-a-vc-andrews-book#post-1358631 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 18:08:28 +0000 Ra 1358631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read Flowers in the Attic in middle school.

Would you want your daughter to read them? </p>
