BSC (Remember what it stands for?)

Currently Listening To: Glee Cast - Valerie


Does anyone remember the Baby Sitters Club books?
I recently found a blog revisiting (and ridiculing) the books, and now I'm inspired to reread them!
So I rummaged around my boxes of books, and discovered that I only have 4 volumes of BSC left.
Only four!
How many did I have in the first place?
I think I gave the rest to Becky. Or perhaps my mum donated them to some organisation or something...
If I remember correctly, I only had like maybe 10 volumes? Borrowed most of it from Trix, she had like a ton of them. (I wonder if she still has them now...?)

Even though I was a bigger fan of the BSC, I seem to have more Sweet Valley books - maybe about 25 volumes? Or probably more.
So far I've only re-read Stacey and the Mystery at the Mall.
13 years later...I have no idea why I was so obsessed with the books.
I mean, the idea of a baby sitters club is not exactly...cool, so why were addicted to them when we were younger? Probably because it described the lives of American teenagers...

Anyway, I remember liking the characters for silly reasons.
I wasn't a fan of the Kristy-narrated books but I had liked Kristy because her middle name's Amanda.
My favourites were Stacey and Claudia though, Stacey because she's blonde and Claudia for being Asian lol.
Thinking back, I guess I was being kinda shallow? Like I said, silly reasons for liking the characters =P
Seriously, if there is anyone out there still reading my blog, lend me your BSC books if you still have them!

Also, I found blogs for the Sweet Valley books, and the Goosebumps and Fear Street series by R.L. Stine (I'm done with the Goose\bumps one actually), so I guess I'll be spending the next few weeks reading them all XD

And maybe it'll give me something to blog about.

Here are the links to the blogs, if anyone is interested (or too bored):

P.S: Somebody help my obsession with Top Chef! I'm addicted.
