Day 4: Least Favorite Regular Series Book
Of the ones I've read, probably "Jessi's Horrible Prank". It just seemed kind of out of left field for her to have that kind of mean streak to her, and I wouldn't have expected that from any of the BSC members (well, except for perhaps Abby who hadn't shown up yet).
Day 5: Favorite Mystery
"Mallory and the Ghost Cat" (Sorry, shannon86!) simply because it was the first BSC mystery I ever got and read, Mal is my favorite sitter and this was her only solo mystery, and I love cats :-)

The Baby-Sitters Club 30 Days Challenge:
Day 1: Favorite Sitter:
Mary Anne Spier, she's the one that I can relate the most to and she's also my favorite because I love how Ann and the other authors described her in the books.
Day 2: Least Favorite Sitter:
Logan Bruno, This was so hard for me to chose! Since I love and like all of them equally the same, but I chose Logan. I really hate the way he treated Mary Anne in most of the books.
Day 3: Favorite Regular Book:
"Mary Anne Saves The Day!", I love this particular book because it was the very first one I read and picked up at my local library and it got me hooked up on the series and gave me my love for reading.
Day 4: Least Favorite Regular Book:
"The Fire At Mary Anne's House", that book scared me a lot!
Day 5: Favorite Mystery Book:
"Mary Anne & The Haunted Bookstore", I just love this Mystery a lot and thought that it was the best one out of all of them.
Day 6: Least Favorite Mystery Book:
"Mallory & The Ghost Cat", that was a pretty boring book.
Day 7: Favorite Super Special Book:
"Baby-Sitters Remember", I just love this book because Shannon was in it and I just love her memory the best.

Day 7: Favorite Super Special Book
Island Adventure. Besides location, which I'll get to in a second, my favorite thing about this SS was it all happened in Stoneybrook. It was also (compared to lunatic Woody or the girl in Christmas Chiller) more realistic. (Realistic, overlooking the sailing being allowed in the first place and with no communication with an adult and the Jessi scenario). When I was a kid my Dad often made my "treasure" hunts. One of my favorite Bobbsey Twin books featured an island treasure hunt that a father had made his son. As an adult, I admit to having very much enjoyed two semi-steamy romance books about this topic. I just was always caught up in the idea of a (semi) deserted island and the fun that could go with it. I, of course, wish the BSC version had been better executed but hey that is what our board/fanfic is for.

The Baby-Sitters Club 30 Day Challenge: Day 1: Favorite Sitter - Mary Anne Spier...for some reason she has been my favorite since the very beginning, probably because I was always the child who loved sob stories and hers seemed the worse. I identified with her because I felt that I was pretty shy when it came to new people, and I had the brown hair and brown eyes described. In the earlier books when she was really overly kind and cried at the drop of a hat (before it became cartoonish), I also felt I was similar. However, Claudia has always been a close second favorite for me, because I loved her personality and I remember making a corner of my room into an 'art studio' for my love of Claudia and trying to dress like her. Day 2: Least Favorite Sitter - Dawn Schafer. When she first came into the picture I really liked her, but once she went back and forth for the millionth time and finally moved to CA after getting so mad at her brother for leaving their mother, I stopped liking her very much. She was anything but original and...she frustrated me. Day 3: Favorite Book from Regular Series - Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls hands down. I love that book. I love Claudia in that book. I love all the girls. I love the prank. I love Alan Gray. Day 4: Least Favorite Book from Regular Series - Kristy's Worst Idea - hated it. Thought it was a very pointless book that really didn't further any plot lines. Plus everyone seemed so out of character. Day 5: Favorite Mystery - I actually really love the mysteries...and there are a few that stand out for me. Stacey and the Haunted Masquerade - I love the plot and it feels creepy and it introduced us to Cary Retlin.  Mary Anne and the Silent Witness - I love the MA and Cary interaction! Kristy and the Cat Burglar - I love that Cary is such a big part of it - and the MA and Cary moment at the end! "You're bleeding..." touches forehead gently.... "Am I? It doesn't hurt." OMGoodness - CUTE! Day 6: Least Favorite Mystery - I strained and strained and thought and thought and could not think of a single one I've read that I really did not like in some way. So, I can't answer this. I really liked the mystery ones. A lot. Day 7: Favorite Super Special Snowbound. I absolutely love this book. It seems one of the more realistic plots to me...and I love where each character gets stuck. I love seeing the closeness of Claudia and her mom and Kristy getting all girly...I loved the Pikes. And I have always wished to live where it snows...so I loved when I could read of snow.  Day 8: Least Favorite Super Special Book: Here Come the Bridesmaids. I have an absolute hate for this book because it bothers me in lots of aspects...like why Dawn and Mary Anne automatically felt she would be a bridesmaid (and why they actually made her one!), why Stacey is in the Barrett's wedding - er - last I checked it was Dawn who had the special connection with Mrs. Barrett and who she sung her praises of...but that's just the start. Do Carol and Jack really have no friends their age that they have to use Dawn's friends as stand-ins in their wedding? I would have believed it more if it was Dawn and Mrs. Bruen being the bridesmaids.  Hiring a 13 year old to be your wedding planner and buying her ticket to CA to do so is just, um...wow, and the dresses on the cover are just hideous in my opinion. So. much. hatred. I will stop now. |

*High fives another MA/Cary shipper*
I think I HAVE to do a fic for babysitters100 where Mary Anne and Cary get together... imagine a BSC world where Claudia is dating Alan and MA is dating Cary. Kristy's head? EXPLODED.
also, I want to post about the 30 day challenge on the BSC livejournal... is that cool?

Kristy's head? EXPLODED. I would definitely read it...I read one of your old stories from a long long long time ago that I somehow missed with MA and Cary going to a dance together...so cute! I would LOVE to read it! |

D8 Least favorite super special - I guess BSC Remembers because while I did like it, some different memories could've been used for the sitters, like Kristy.

Day 8: Least Favorite Super Special: First, Sarish. loved your rant on "Here Come the Bridesmaids." In addition to what you said, Dawn was the main (main) character! The most boring SS would be Starring the BSC. The SS I disliked the most overall is either Bridesmaids or BSC in the USA. The latter, like "Remembers" was very disappointing and not as BSC family centered as I would have liked. I hated that Kristy didn't travel with her own family in USA, btw. I didn't even care for how Patrick "just happened" to be at the Giants Game. The whole book was a real mis-mash thrown together. |
