Does anyome remember the Baby-Sitters' Club books? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Chocoholic · 10-31-2007, 03:52 PM

I used to love reading them when I was younger. I had such a huge collection of the books. I see some girls still like to read them. I think they are great books for preteen and young teen girls to read.

I loved them too! A lot of my greatest book memories involve the Babysitters' Club

I think my favorite book of the series was when Dawn thought her house was haunted

I should search for that one and read it again

I never read the books, but I do remember watching the TV series on Disney Channel and I still have the movie on VHS.

Kristen · 11-01-2007, 12:18 AM

I do!! I used to watch the TV series, too. We didn't get Disney back then, so I used to borrow the videos from the library. I still have all the books in our attic. I think those books are prob. a big part of why I still love to read today.

Oh yeah...I was even in the fan club. I was upset whenever Mary Ann and Logan had problems! lol

catlover79 · 11-01-2007, 12:59 AM

Oh my gosh, yes! I was obsessed with them when I was in elementary/middle school.

I also loved Girl Talk, Sleepover Friends, and the Sweet Valley books. Those were the days...sigh...

Is Ann Martin still writing the Baby-Sitters Club??

No. There are no more new BSC books.

When I heard that, it was like the end of an era. Although I'm sure a lot of the girls who grew up with the books will share them with their daughters one day. I know I certainly will.

Well, those girls would be in their 30s and looking for babysitters for their kids by now! lol

CarJackSnyder · 11-01-2007, 05:18 PM

I remember Sleepover Friends and Sweet Valley. I liked them too, but the BSC girls were my favorite.

Who was everyone's favorite baby-sitter? I liked Stacey the best.

catlover79 · 11-02-2007, 05:56 PM

^ Mary Anne was the one I related to most - except I didn't (and still don't) have a Logan of my own.

Kristen · 11-02-2007, 06:35 PM

I always sort of liked Kristy, b/c her real name was Kristin (spelled differently than mine, but it was still the same name! lol). But of course there was something about each of the girls I really liked.

I liked her for that reason too. I even got people to call me Kristy for awhile. (No one's called me that in years.) Plus, she was a tomboy like me.
