I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to enjoy those books I knew and loved as a child.Sara Furlong-Burrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893391101864117298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085903023777323950.post-57122884722938975102011-05-02T19:10:12.792-04:002011-05-02T19:10:12.792-04:00Your descriptions of the BSC girls was hysterical!...Your descriptions of the BSC girls was hysterical!!! LMAO!!! I started a few years ago looking for them at thrift stores and a month ago I gave my daughter the box of about 40-50 books. She is 9 1/2 and I thought she'd like them...she loved them!!! (I really do love that kid, lol!) It is so cool to watch her reading them and enjoying something that I loved so much as a child. She's on #5 and I am living thru her...so cool! Thanks for bringing up these books - great post!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085903023777323950.post-43348719822520446072011-04-28T23:37:10.484-04:002011-04-28T23:37:10.484-04:00Kendra-I don't remember the lottery one, but I...Kendra-I don't remember the lottery one, but I vaguely remember the shipwrecked one. My favorite BSC books revolved around them thinking certain places were haunted. Actually, I think Kristy and the Snobs stands out even more than that. I didn't forget about Shannon and Logan, I was just too lazy to include them. It was 1:30 a.m. and I figured it would be forgiven. The series made Logan out to be somewhat controlling. That was probably his draw to Mary Anne as she was quiet and easily dominated. Just a thought. BSC: teaching kids about unhealthy relationships since 1985. Well before Twilight came along.<br /><br />Nicole-Thank you for following me and your comment. I've never personally read Harriet the Spy, but my daughter loves having books read to her so I'm sure it's only a matter of time.Sara Furlong-Burrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893391101864117298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085903023777323950.post-66502182146737344342011-04-28T11:32:17.612-04:002011-04-28T11:32:17.612-04:00Awesome post with plenty of reminders for me of bo...Awesome post with plenty of reminders for me of books I want my kids to read. My favorite from childhood was Harriet the Spy. And, I bought a copy for my daughter last week on her eleventh birthday!<br /><br />Great to "meet" you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899768909313326172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085903023777323950.post-47686636003533094722011-04-28T05:28:19.461-04:002011-04-28T05:28:19.461-04:00Ah, yes, The Babysitter's Club-- those books w...Ah, yes, The Babysitter's Club-- those books were the bread and butter of my young reading life. I envied their adventures (especially the one where Dawn and Claudia were shipwrecked on an island for three days with six of their charges, or the one where they won the lottery). Don't forget alternative member Logan Bruno, who, for whatever reason, was sweet on Mary Anne. What about Shannon, the rich girl who becomes Kristy's other BFF? They don't market books like those anymore. Instead, we are left with Twilight...At least my daughter has Harry Potter. I am happy to know she feels the way about HP as I did about BSC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
