So true. But yeah I skipped the rest, only paid attention to the outfit Claudia had on. I may have gotten inspirations from her for my "fashion designs" I liked to draw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books/page/2#post-350387 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 12:15:01 +0000 tororojo 350387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: I did like the part where they describe what Claudia is wearing to the BSC meetings. She was like the original Lady Gaga. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books/page/2#post-350298 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 11:43:33 +0000 chopsuey 350298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't! I read the Sweet Valley High books though.. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books/page/2#post-350280 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 11:40:25 +0000 HabesBabe 350280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: Haha totally true! We get it, Claudia is exotic and likes candy, Dawn is a hippie, Stacy is a sassy NYC fashionista who is diabetic, etc. etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books/page/2#post-350272 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 11:38:28 +0000 tororojo 350272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: I totally used to skip the part where they described each girl and her quirks....once you've read a few books, that part gets boring! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books/page/2#post-350269 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 11:37:16 +0000 HabesBabe 350269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, and always skipped the majority of the first chapter since it was just about the basics of the business. LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-350153 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:57:09 +0000 MsInformation 350153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BSC was a huge part of my childhood, along with Sweet Valley Twins. I even wrote a slavish fangirl letter to Ann M. Martin and received a nice form letter with an autograph in response. A childhood highlight!</p> <p>Is anyone still mourning the break-up of Mary Ann and Logan? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-350115 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:43:05 +0000 Freckles 350115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: What?? They do?? I had no idea!</p> <p>I had almost the entire set for BSC. Loved SVH/SVT as well! Too bad the movies/tv shows were just horrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-350104 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:40:53 +0000 tororojo 350104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I finally read that whole page on where are they now...hilarious! And probably pretty accurate. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-350097 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:38:31 +0000 DpeachLu 350097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVED! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-350094 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:37:21 +0000 Meridian 350094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love BSC and SVH!! I think they are still at my parents house... I wonder if my future daughter would be interested in reading them or if they'll be completely irrelevant by then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349996 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:08:27 +0000 Alivoo01 349996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most definitely did!! Along with the American Girls series. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349989 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:06:32 +0000 prettylizy 349989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved the baby sitters club, and the little sisters books too. My sister read the big books and I read the little sister books until I graduated up to the big books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349983 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:05:10 +0000 knittylady 349983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVED them. And baby sitters little sister (the Karen books!). I had almost all of them I think and would get other things from them like stationary and pencils etc., OBSESSED! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349976 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:02:54 +0000 tororojo 349976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! I still have quite a few of the books saved for my daughter someday. (she will probably hate them, but still)</p> <p>*ETA* I also loved Sweet Valley Twins! Never read SV High though, they seemed a little mature for me at the time. I read SV Kids a little, but they were so short it seemed like a waste of money to buy the book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349958 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 09:55:18 +0000 pinkcupcake 349958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: haha cute! We tried setting up a babysitting service too. Wasn't very successful ;)</p> <p>@theknest: I saved all mine too. Really hoping L will love books! I daydream about us reading my old books together :)</p> <p>@mediagirl: my mom didn't want me reding them either. I didn't really get into the sweet valley books. I was BSC all the way! :)</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: Yeah, I had stopped reading for awhile bc i got old and then one day I picked up an Abby book and was like, wtf who's Abby?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349925 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 09:37:24 +0000 theknest 349925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I moslty read the Little Sister books.....and Goosebumps books!! Saved them ALL so hopefully my kids will like them too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349921 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 09:35:28 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 349921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>totally did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349863 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 09:04:48 +0000 Mrsbells 349863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes loved the babysitters clubs and even saw the movie<br /> I also loved sweet valley series. So awesome! It did get a bit dark as it got to Sweet Valley University I think I remember Jessica's boyfriend died and it was a bit too emotional but I still loved it and enjoyed watching the tv series while it lasted </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349853 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 09:01:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 349853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only every single one of the BSC. Even when I was definitely too old, my 5 years younger sister was still reading them so I would still read them. Honestly if I found one now I'd probably read it. It's fair to say I was obsessed. </p> <p>@mediagirl: My mom didn't want me to read Sweet Valley High either-- Twins was fine, but she thought the High School ones were trash. It didn't help that the first one I brought home had Jessica looking kind of trashy on the cover AND it was the one where Bruce (?) kind of tried to rape her in the boat house? Looking back, that's kind of dark...</p> <p>Have you guys seen this? <a href="http://thehairpin.com/2011/01/the-baby-sitters-club-where-are-they-now/" rel="nofollow">http://thehairpin.com/2011/01/the-baby-sitters-club-where-are-they-now/</a><br /> It made the rounds on facebook a while back. I love that it starts with "the original founding members (none of this Abby bullshit) " Stupid Abby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349796 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 08:41:43 +0000 JessiBee 349796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read the BSC books too, although my parents thought they were garbage and refused to buy them. Out of the library they came, probably a few at a time. Never read Sweet Valley books. Also loved the Boxcar children series! And, a little later, every book in the Anne of Green Gables series. Loooooooooved those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349786 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 08:37:32 +0000 wheres_c 349786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the entire series. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349770 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 08:32:55 +0000 LAGS 349770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a Scholastic subscription to them. I loved the Sweet Valley books too.</p> <p>@anonysquire: Loooved boxcar children! Goosebump books were my brothers which I read too, my fav was the Ghost Next Door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349759 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 08:27:39 +0000 plaidpants 349759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loooved BSC and Sweet Valley High! I recently tried to get my husband to buy me the first 30 Sweet Valley High books on eBay (someone was selling them as a set) but the price got outrageous! I guess we are not the only ones who loved those books! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349740 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 08:15:36 +0000 MediaNaranja 349740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, yeah. I LOVED when we got the book orders in elementary school. I always made my mom get the latest BSC book for me. One time I went with my friend to a mall for a book signing...we waited in line for HOURS to get our favorite BSC book signed! Totally worth it though!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349731 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 08:13:50 +0000 mrsjyw 349731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! And watched the movies. I was obsessed! Oooh and read the Little Sister ones too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349726 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 08:10:19 +0000 regberadaisy 349726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!! and @T-Mom: yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349717 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 08:03:10 +0000 littlebug 349717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the entire set. And then I gifted them all to my sister - the box weighed like 20 pounds. I don't know if she ever read them, though. She was more into Goosebumps and scary books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-the-baby-sitters-club-books#post-349714 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 08:02:06 +0000 mrs. bird 349714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!
