Which BSC books do you wish to buy?

But couldn't, because they are so hard to find.

I most wanted the super specials. I spent a few years searching for my collection, and I did manage to find everything. (Except for The Summer Before. I've never seen or read that one.) I haven't seen a BSC book in a thrift store in years now. Some places in my area don't like book donations anymore, so they have tiny selections. I'm wondering how much gets thrown into dumpsters now.

Graduation Day. I have never seen it anywhere except online or read it. Silly me could have picked up all the other FF books from a huge book sale years ago but to me they didn’t really feel like the BSC I grew up with so I passed. I own one FF book, Everything Changes. Including FF, Mysteries and the regular books, I’m missing about 30 books but not too fussed. I’m trying to be a minimalist 🤣

It should be easy to read most of them online now or maybe find hard copies. Gosh remember in the late 90s when BSC books were overstocked everywhere? Hope you get to read The Summer Before! It feels weird reading ones I’d never read as a child. Sadly, my books aren’t in the best condition. Too much humidity over the years.

I still see BSC books in thrift stores a lot. If I find any that people want, I would be happy to buy it. Maybe I live in a book-friendly neighborhood because my thrift stores all have huge book areas.

Well if you're in Australia they are all in the bookstore via iBooks.

Well, I found the Claudia and Mean Janine graphic novel today. I didn't have interest in the graphic novels, and yet I did buy it anyway. Old habits die hard, lol.

Books are all over eBay and Etsy and I haven't been to a thrift store/Goodwill in awhile but I always had good luck there.

I can't remember any book titles I wanted but couldn't find. I'd want to get Secret Santa now because the first time I got it, I bought it without realizing the plastic wrap had been ripped open and the necklace was missing I'd like an intact one!

All the regular series books! I had a major move back in 2013 and got rid of the books I didn't like as much. Then I didn't touch the series at all for a few years and the ones I kept (I know I kept the first 20 books or so and a few I really liked after that) and the ones I DID have got badly damaged . I have a few Super Specials and randomly got the urge to re read them, and now I have all the other Super Specials and Super Mysteries on Kindle.

Moral of the story: don't get rid of your collection! What was I thinking?! At least I didn't get rid of my California Diaries. I'm trying to find a good deal online, but I think the best deal is spending about $4 per book on Kindle, which adds up. It's something I can *technically* afford but probably shouldn't. Maybe I'll buy a little here and there.

I wasn't a big fan of the mysteries aside from the first 10, so at least there's that. I'm not sure what it is, since I like a lot of the "spooky" regular series books. So at least there's that (the Super Mysteries are all right). Also don't care about FF (I read a few of them and the quality was just... not great)... doesn't feel like the BSC to me.

The Super Mysteries and the Friends Forever series. I have a few of the Friends Forever series, but not all.
