Welcome to Litsy!

Calling all #BSC fans! This is a great anthology that runs the gamut from nostalgic to critical, silly to serious, academic prose to comics. Personal favourites include the ones by Kristen Arnett (queer childhood role-playing with Barbies as BSC members), Logan Hughes (BCS fanfic), Kelly Blewett (handwriting), Megan Milks (girl groups and being a trans masc person), Yumi Sakugawa (comic about Claudia), Caolan Madden (gender, labour, caregiving).

Watching season 2 today. I absolutely loved these books as a kid and am loving sharing this show with my kids:) #babysittersclub #BSC #familyofreaders

Some of you may recall that I grew a tad, uhh...obsessed with the first season of the Netflix #BSC reboot. 😉 Today was the release of Season 2, and my bff and I had a fabulous night binge-watching the entire thing. Anyone else out there reliving their childhood? Anyone else cry like a baby at the episode based on the tagged book? No? Just me? OK. #BabysittersClub #SayHelloToYourFriends

Obviously my first thought for this #Movie2BookRecs was to wax poetic about my first love, The Baby-Sitters Club. But even though I love the #bsc, I can't deny that as a tween/teen, I also loved this series by RL Stine! #AdventuresInBabysitting

You can always find me down for #BSC nostalgia of any kind, and this book of essays certainly fits the bill! The writing here examines the series' portrayal of friendship, empowerment, and representation of all kinds (or lack thereof). Just a fun and thoughtful trip down memory lane.

This is one of the most utterly bizarre moments of my childhood reading life; it has plagued me for years. WHY did Ann M. Martin write this?! These people are going on a 7-day Disney #cruise, not leaving the Old Country for a new life in America. This image lives in my head entirely rent-free; it belongs in The Cut's "I Think About This A Lot" series. Of all the WTF moments in the #BSC series, this one is my personal kryptonite. #LitsySpringBreak

So of course i forgot to take a picture of the package! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Its on its way though!!! #bsc

This book was absolutely terrific! I highly recommend this book to any Baby Sitters Club fan! This book was published in 2010 and is a prequel to the actual series. It documents Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey‘s lives the summer before the idea for The Babysitters Club was born. If you‘ve never read any of the books before, this is a good one to read first! #babysittersclub #annmartin #bsc

OK, guys, I know I've been hitting the #bsc content hard lately, but this was 100% what came to mind for #SnowedIn. This book had it all- overnight babysitting, Pike hijinks, a Stacey emergency, and Logan getting on *cross-country skies* to bring food to Mary Anne. 🤣 '90s kids books were wild. #babysittersclub #TropesInAugust
