Hello all! I'm a first time poster and long time lurker, and was compelled to post after finding this on McSweeny's lists.

Titles from the Baby-Sitter's Club: The College Years series

My favorite is Mary Anne and the Free Credit Card T-shirt, but the rest cracked me up as well.

I am not sure if this has been posted here before, but just in case here it is

The Nostalgia Chick reviews the BSC movie.
Not even vaguely safe for work, containing much swearing!

I am so close to finishing my collection, so anything will help! I prefer to stay in the US and Canada. I can do paypal and concealed cash (at your discretion).

( What I Need )

Is there a little sister book that talks about Charlie buying the Junk Bucket? Also, is there a chronological list of books with all of the books (BSC, super specials/mysteries, little sister, etc.) somewhere on the internet? Thanks!

I was reading "Kristy and the Cat Burglar" last night when it dawned on me that this was another BSC book with Harriet the Spy in it. In this one, Charlotte acts like Harriet spying on people and gets in an argument with Vanessa and Becca about spying on them. Then, in BOTH "Baby-Sitters on Board" AND "Baby-Sitters' Winter Vacation", Mallory acts like Harriet, spying on her friends. In "Claudia's Freind Freind", Harriet the Spy is mentioned when Claudia keeps a secret diary snarking on Stacey. Finally, (that I know of), Kristy wanted Harriet the Spy to be her fourth grade play, so she could be Harriet, which is in "Claudia's Book". Wow. So that's five BSC books that mention Harriet the Spy. Has anybody else noticed this? What other books or pop culture has been mentioned more than once in the BSC series?

Hey all!

I'm holding a giant art auction for a bunch of the BSC Graphix original art, including several cover pieces! Prices start around $30.

I'm also still honoring the offer to sell mystery pages from the book of your choice for $30 each plus shipping. Details are on my website. Order by December 15, to ensure arrival by Christmas!

Like always, for every page of art I sell online, I will donate $5 to First Book, an awesome non-profit that gets new books into the hands of kids in need.

Hope everyone is having a good holiday season so far. :)

this one is even better then the one i post about last night!

The Truth About Stacey will be republished in june 2010

i guess the pre-selling of the summer before plus books 1 and 2 put some presure on scholastic.

Does anyone know how many calendars were made and for which years?

Since Thanksgiving and Christmas are just right around the corner I've been reading holiday books that mainly focus on my favorite BSC family: the Pikes! Of course the first holiday books I thought of were #69 and #92 -- two of my favorite books in the entire series, even though #92 always annoys me to no ends when the Pikes decide they don't want to do the Christmas show when they only have ONE DAY left! Anyway, started reading through #92 today and I was reminded of something I always do when I read this book. In chapter 3 the Pikes make up their own version of "The 12 Days of Christmas" -- please tell me I'm not the only dork out there who has tried to predict who came up with which line. : P

“On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...” Mom sung out.
“Twelve, um...velocirptor eggs!” He [Nicky] beamed. “You know, like a dozen? And then when you crack them, Raaaaawr!”
“The tape’s running,” Vanessa muttered.
Together, we sung the rest of the song we’d just improvised: “Eleven socks a-stinking, ten bags of Snickers, nine leaping wombats, eight soggy tacos, seven bologna-and-peanut-butter sandwiches, six silly-billy–goo-goos, fiiiiive hornet stiiiiings...four crawling nerds, three stooges, two curdled gloves, and some garbage in a bare tree!"

( My thoughts )

Anyone know what's up with dibbly-fresh.com? I've tried to go there twice this week and both times gotten a message saying the site has malware and may harm my computer. :(

As a half-sibling myself, I always wondered why there were no half-siblings in Stoneybrook. You have biological siblings,step-siblings, and even an adopted sibling, but no half-siblings. Why is that?

Kristy, I didn't think you'd go for another sponsorship deal after the Davis Diapers debacle.

Book 39 is correct. Poor Mallory, indeed. She had a difficult time getting in the BSC to begin with,she's had mono, she's very underappreciated at home, and the kids at school tortured her so much, she had to be sent off to boarding school. Then there's the movie. I feel sorry for Stacey Linn Ramsower. She must have been bored too death. Her role in the BSC movie was horribly written. But the ultimate sign is the tv show. I have seen 9 episodes, and so far, seriously, what's the point of even having her in the show? Her role is basically a joke. She's just there, being a follower and a puppet. If I hadn't read the books,I wouldn't even know why she was in the show to begin with. Poor Mallory. She just ain't getting no love.

I made individual member icons from the covers. Enjoy.

Thanks!

As this is the first day off I've had in a fortnight, naturally I'm using the time to fanny about on the internet catch up on housework. Here's a collage that represents a BSC book, brought to you with the help of Google Images. Which book is it? It could be aaaaaany BSC-related book - original series, spin-offs, special editions etc. Bonus points if you can link the picture to the plot point.

( EDIT: Answer )

I was re-reading Kristy and the Mother's Day Surprise, and towards the end there is this part where they are working on a card/banner/cookies to welcome Emily Michelle home. Dawn randomly begins to hum the tune to the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and sings the lyrics wrong.

She sings "the girl with colitis goes by", and Sam corrects her and says "it's the girl with kaleidoscope eyes".

Everyone acted like it was the weirdest thing though, for her to be singing that song.

Anyway, there's really no point to this other than I thought it was just SO random and seemed out of place to what was going on. =]

I guess it's just Dawn being original and different again.

What other things seemed random and somewhat out of place that you remember reading in a BSC book?



P.S. I'll admit that I went and searched to see what "colitis" was (cause it sounded vaguely familiar) and this is what I found:
Colitis is a chronic digestive disease characterized by inflammation of the colon.
