Just wondering what the numbers are on this issue.
Myself, I started too... but there are so many and I only read about three or four in my childhood, so they don't have the nostalgia value. It's nice to see the Brewer-Thomas family from another perspective--Nannie and Andrew especially, I think--but it just seems like too much effort.

I collected LS books. The only reason I stopped was because I managed to complete my LS collection.

I didn't set out to collect them, but found most of the series in large chunks and decided to look for the rest when I was looking for BSC books. (By large chunks I mean I bought half the series at one library book sale and another 20 or so one day at a thrift store. So I didn't put nearly as much effort into finding them as I did for BSC.)
Most of them I have only read once because like greer I didn't read them as a kid. I actually think I should reread them and get rid of the ones I don't like that much.

I collect them (but not as actively as I used to). I had a pretty good collection of LS when I was little, so for me they've always been a companion to the BSC.

I have them all except maybe the Summer Fun Fill In Book. I know a lot of people seem to not like Karen/Little Sister but I enjoy them and I wouldn't feel like my BSC collection was complete without them.

I've bought a few here and there (promptly donated after reading). I don't much like Karen and since generally the LS have little to do with the BSC (which still disappoints me since I'd love some "new" books), I don't have a real reason to collect them. I do admit to sometimes thinking about doing so for the sake of having them but that seems silly.

I like her and the little sister series is the first books I wanted to collect until I got into the regular BSC series

When I was younger. I collect them. But, we gave them away. Now, I'm recollecting them.

I guess the seller hated her too ;D I'd love to find the complete LS somewhere! I only seem to find the Kids in Ms. Colman's Class books.

Funny, I never see those. The ones I have have come from Paper Back Swap.

I just started collecting last year. I recently found a ton of ls books at a local thrift store. These books never get old!
