I started at 6, stopped at about 10, and started in 2006 at 20, due to online sites such as the HiddenBookcase. I kept my books, but now am recollecting the ones I never had. I'm in Brisbane, Murderedmymuse. Are you Sydney? Actually, I'm closer than you think. I'm on the gold coast, just over the NSW border. I'd say more, but don't want to give out too much info online. If this forum has PMing, send me a message.

I think I stopped reading them after 5th grade, once I got closer to the girls' ages and saw that middle school wasn't quite as depicted I started reading them in 3rd grade, I think.

I never stopped reading the books, but sometimes I go without reading one for awhile. But not for too long.

I think I was about 10 I started reading babysitters club and about 15, when I stopped reading. I think I just got a little bit bored of them. As a teenager, I sorta "grew out" of reading for a while. Now I'm 20 and I've started picking BSC books to read again.

Yeah, these books are great are nostalgic memories. I think that's why I like the BSC books I read as a kid better than the ones I'm reading for the first time as an adult.

I started reading them not too long after they first came out- I was 6 at the time- and stopped when I was 13. I was going through a phase where I thought I was too cool to still be reading them.

^ Same here, although I was also partly motivated by the idea that I should be reading more 'adult' stuff. So now I do that, and when I get sick of them, I go back to the BSC and keep flip-flopping all the time.

I actively read the books from about age 8-13. I stopped when I became too embarassed to even walk into the children's section of the bookstore or library. I ended up moving on to non-fiction like history, astronomy, and physics books. Around the time I stopped, my mom thought they were too childish for me to keep, but I couldn't bear to part with them, so they sat in a box in the basement for years. She eventually had me give them away to the library, but I hung on to my favorites. I recently moved out of her house and began re-reading the old favorites I had kept. Now without my mom's disapproval and now being able to afford to buy the books online, I'm re-discovering my love of the BSC.

I'm 21 and I haven't stopped reading them. I read other books (more fitting my age) too, but it's nice to "join my old friends" every now and again.

I stopped reading the BSC books some time in high school, don't really remember when. By the time Abby rolled around I simply felt they were now just milking the series. The non progressing timeline was starting to wear thin. The BSC series began to expand to much, with Mysteries, Super Specials and other related books. It wasn't feasible to keep up with every new book being released one after the other. I didn't really care for Abby and I didn't feel the same for Mary Anne after her makeover. She was my favorite character and they gave her a bowlcut and changed her. She just wasn't the same character I adored.

In public around fifth grade when I was constantly forgetting my copy in places. Later around freshman year.

I never outgrew the BSC lol! I started reading it when I was 9 and I'm 21 and hadn't ever stopped. That being said, I lost quite a few copies of the books around age 12 then my mom made me donate the other books I still had around age 13 because she thought they were too childish for me (thanks, Mom, I now have to recollect all the books!). I got reunited with the BSC at age 17 shortly after I joined this boards.
