pick3✨
As I was looking through my alphabet challenge I realised that I haven't read any books with a K. So I got on a mission to find something cute and short to fill the void.
My reading slump is still ongoing so I knew not to do something over the top.
And when I realised I had the Baby-sitters club on Audio it was like a sign.

pick5✨I read this series when I was a kid, but never got to finish it. I‘m starting over now, and the beauty of the story is timeless. While I like the original covers better I‘m excited to read from the newer edition. In this book Kristy learns a lot about herself, her friends, and her family. All because she has the brilliant idea to create a babysitter club to help parents find a babysitter a lot easier. April #roll100 and 2nd book for #20in4
I totally associate the babysitters club or the sweet valley books with my childhood! #sundayfunday @ozma.of.oz
Mine was The Baby-Sitters Club. Every time I had some money to spend I would beg my mom to take me to the mall so I could see if a new one was out.
pickGoing for some quick nostalgia today. I picked up the Babysitters Club book collection tin a while ago and figured I should revisit the fun of middle school. #40-2022
pickI haven't read this book since I was a tween and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it is just as good as I remember! Kristy's voice is very clear, her "trouble making" and complicated feelings about her mom's new boyfriend. There's a scene where Kristy's new babysitting charges end up being two Saint Bernards named Buffy and Minky, one of which runs right over her and I could not stop laughing. Also Kristy thinks boys are gross, so gay.

Finally finished my puzzle while listening to an audiobook 🧩 🎧 📖

I devoured these books when I was a kid. I read them multiple times, to the point of them falling apart. Mary-Ann was my favorite.
pickI don't know how I missed these books when I was a kid. I was exactly the same age as the girls in the club when this first one came out. I remember it (and the following books in the series) being one of my choices in my Scholastic book-of-the-month club. But I never read one. I started to feel like I was missing out recently when it seemed like quite a few of the hosts on the book podcasts I listen to were doing rereads, so I thought 🤷♀️
Forgive the terrible picture, but my kids and I are LOVING the (Queer inclusive) Netflix take on Baby-Sitters Club.
For my library I‘m making a new “Fandom Bingo” every month so this month it‘s BSC!
#libraryprogram #publiclibrarian
Yeeeaaaahhhh... I feel a nostalgia binge coming on 😂
Oh nostalgia! Fun to revisit the girls of the BSC to see how it all began (almost 35 years ago!!!). Good lord, that makes me feel old! 🤦🏻♀️🤣👵🏼
I watched the first few episodes of The Baby-Sitter‘s Club on Netflix this weekend...after watching Hamilton (🤗💜), and found this reboot super sweet and fun. I‘ve considered revisiting the book series for some time, so here I am, meeting Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, & Stacey for the second time...💚
Just started this Netflix! First episode is super cute! I read a couple of the graphic novels recently too.. So I am excited to keep the whole nostalgic feelings going!!!
Watching the new Netflix show - the Babysitters Club and spotted some hardback Hardy Boys book on Kristy‘s shelf! Feeling some serious throwback vibes!😊📚📖 #hardyboys #netflix #thebabysittersclub
Hamilton WHO? I am #FlyingHigh watching an old favorite given new life. These books are #quintessential Young Andrea. #currentlywatching #bsc #sayhellotoyourfriends #BeautifulWords #FlyHighJuly
@Eggs @OriginalCyn620 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Coming to Netfliz on Friday. I may have to check it out. The graphics novels were a great rendition, hopefully this will be as good.
Well that's my July sorted.
Just listened to the first episode of the BSC Club podcast! Thank you for the rec @Blaire ! So funny. 😆
Although they got the setting wrong. They referred a few times to Stoneybrook as being on Long Island, when it‘s actually in CT (somewhere near Stamford).
pickBook 1: a new girl arrives in town and she has a secret 🙀, I realize my 🐈 #Isabel is Boo-Boo reincarnated, you do NOT call Kristy a baby 🍼, and adolescent hormones are a ragin‘!
This was so much fun!
The first two in the series have gone missing in one of my past moves, but our library finally has them on ebook! The graphic novels are lovely, but nothing compares to the originals!

The book where I first learned the word “decorum,” right alongside Kristy Thomas. This book is as good as you remember! I chose it as my “re-read” for the 2020 #mmdchallenge
1. It had to be a BSC book- just not sure which one I started with.
2. The OKC bombing. I think I was in 4th or 5th grade.
3. Vicks and orange juice
4. Will do!!!

pickI love that the audiobooks are available now of these 😍
Hello #bfcr2 buddies! I finished my 5th audiobook yesterday, but am kind of burnt out on them now. Instead I have been catching up on podcasts these last two days.
Any excellent audiobooks to recommend?
Also I have been seeing a lot of purple flowers this week and now really want some for my yard.
Ann M Martin!!!!
pickI was way too obsessed with these as a preteen! On a whim, I decided to give it a reread and it‘s still so perfectly cheesy and awesome 😍
Easter goodies for my nieces! 🐇🐣 I love seeing the old covers on this scholastic set...just like I remember.
So glad they love reading, and one may be Mo Willems biggest fan! 😉
Going through my old books! I absolutely loved the Babysitter's Club as a kid! Claudia was my favorite! Looking forward to the Netflix revamp! #90'sgirl
pickThis was a lot of fun! I literally remembered exact lines from the stories, even though it‘s been about 25 years since I read them. Yes, it‘s fairly simple middle grade, but they explore some serious topics in ways that I think would be helpful for young kids. Looking forward to continuing the series soon!
BOOK 1: 4/5 ⭐️
BOOK 2: 3/5 ⭐️
BOOK 3: 3/5 ⭐️
So i really wanted the BSC tin set. Then i decided that thrifting them would be way more fun! Its less expensive too so i can get extras! Heres what i found last night!
FUCK YEAH starting my BSC reread. Got a library card just for this purpose, LOL. One of my fave Booktubers, Kerryn at RatherBeReading, started rereading it last year, I thought it was a brilliant idea. I ADORED it as a girl, looking forward to visiting the girls & Stonybrook again! I know they‘re gonna be pretty simple, but it‘ll still be fun. Gonna blow through first 3 today! (They‘re 150 to 170 pages & font is big, not exactly a Herculean task)
pickAn entertaining throwback read✨
pickI reread this one in nearly no time at all the other day just before listening to the corresponding episode of SSR Podcast (so fun!). I read every BSC book over and over when I was a kid and I could read them all again. ✨THIS REREAD WAS A DELIGHT!!✨ I remembered nearly all of the details on this one from Claudia‘s mean sister Janine to Mary Anne‘s strict dad to why Stacy is on a “diet.” BSC Forever!!
(I truly dislike these newer covers!)
pickLoved this book in graphic novel form! I can‘t wait to read the other ones 😊
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
1. I was a huge BSC fan. I even have the vhs of the show they made from different books and the board game
2. Cake
3. I do not, but I‘d love to learn to knit or cross stitch
4. Ljubljana, Slovenia or Zagreb or Zadar Croatia. They‘ve been my favorite cities I‘ve been too and some I‘ve felt homesick for.
5. ✋🏼happy weekend all
#friyayintro
1. As a classic 90s tween, I burned through the Babysitters Club series.
2. Cake, 100%
3. Sad to say, I can‘t think of any! Too busy with family life.
4. I would love to live in NYC again. Forever my favorite city!

Sometimes you need to dive back into your childhood. I just started listening to the babysitters club club podcast and it is so funny. I‘m going to reread the books along with them. #nostalgia #childhood #originalcover https://headgum.com/the-baby-sitters-club-club
In Episode 7 of my podcast (out today!), my guest — senior editor at Cosmopolitan, Jessica Goodman — and I talk all things Baby-Sitters Club: famous foursomes, babysitting culture, and fab fashion (of course). Check out the link in my bio or search The SSR Podcast in iTunes or Google Play to listen!

But coming back to these was a lot of fun. I don't think I've ever read this first book, so it was nice to see how it all started.
I'm kinda in the mood to listen to all of them now. Might this be the end of my dreaded reading slump? Here's to hoping!
