I'm 22 and have been reading THE BSC books since I was about 8. The first book I can remember reading was Boy Crazy, Stacey I stopped reading after Abby's Twin. And didn't start reading them again until after I graduated HS. In the four years since I've been trying to collect the entire series.
Since I've also got a lot of time on my hands I've also considered a few times going through the books and counting how many summer vacations, Thanksgivings, Christmases, etc. these girls really had. I never really noticed it until somewhere in the 90-100s when I think there might have been two Christmases right on top of each other.
Growing up, my favorite sitter was Stacey because I identified closely with her trouble with her friends in NYC and I also understand what it is like to have a chronic life long condition. Even though, I am most like Mary Anne I didn't really read any of her books until the last few years, she's now my favorite character.
I never did like Mallory, Kristy or Dawn (except in California Diaries) much, and only liked Claudia and Jessi, in certain books.
Lets see... what else? Favorite charges? I think I'd really love to sit for Jamie Newton or Claire and Margo Pike and maybe even Jenny Prezziso (sp?) once.
I don't think I could pick a favorite book, but generally, I like the oldest ones most. Since coming online to read about the BSC I now know that's because those are the books Ann wrote. I do how ever, like The BSC Remember or whatever that one was called.
Since I'm really big into collecting the actual books, is there a place just to go talk about collecting books and maybe eBay? I collect other stuff and on another forum we have a section for discussing, buying/selling/trading and even have a section we can post our wish lists in. So we can keep track of what we need and other people can keep a look out for titles we need on eBay.
As a matter of fact I just missed the set of Super Specials writing this intro. Urgggh!!!!!! Oh, well...
I look forward to getting to know y'all better and see I have nothing on the knowledge of BSC that you all do. LOL
And thanks to macca for pointing me here from TWoP!
