In between working, getting ready for Halloween, working on new sewing projects, and voraciously consuming Baby-Sitters Club books, I managed to squeeze in some non-children’s books, including a new book from a favorite author! Invisible Girl, by Lisa Jewell. I love a good Lisa Jewell book and this one was no exception. In her latest novel, Jewell tells the story of a small group of people living in a London neighborhood. The action revolves around the Fours family, the patriarch […]

You know the drill by now. Here’s my latest installment of my nostalgia reading of the BSC! We must be at least partially in the realm of when I started to outgrow the series, though I know from upcoming titles that I at least read some of them. To be honest? I kind of gave up after Dawn left, even though in this installment she hasn’t quite left officially yet. In fact, she’s initially back… but then swiftly gone again. […]

A week from today we are holding my annual work Halloween costume contest for the staff. It’s a little different this year. No group costumes and only two categories, but it is our tradition and I’m really happy we’re still doing it! So today I’m doing what I call a “fake new episode.” I needed a post for today but had no idea what to post. Remote teaching is so much busier now than it was back in March when […]

This installment also introduces the Portrait Collection, which focuses on one BSC member at a time and, after a couple of posts without a single super special, this one has TWO! Still reading these in hyper-drive to keep listening […]

Two BSC rereads posts in a row! I try to space these out a little more, but I’m in between sewing projects right now and it was either a BSC reread post or nothing for today, so here we go. I believe at this point in my rereading the BSC journey I am more than halfway finished with the regular series. However, I also believe there are at least five more super specials, a number of mysteries, a few super-mysteries, […]

I have to start reading these books more fiendishly as I just finished binging all the episodes of The Baby-Sitters Club Club podcast of the books I’ve read, and I want to events to be fresh in my mind when I listen to the guys talk about the books! So we’re going to jump right into this installment. Book sixty-six, Maid Mary Anne, was fun mainly because it was all about sewing! However, storyline-wise, it was more “meh.” Mary Anne […]
