They were so addictive. A couple of friends and I tried to start our own Babysitter's Club, but it failed horribly. I never read any of the historical fiction but there were always those R.L. Stein type books for young adults. Those things were addictive too. They actually made of few of those books into movies (I know what you did last summer).

After I read your last book post I was trying to remember the names of those books b/c I loved them in junior high. Since I wanted to do my own post about my fav childhood books I was racking my brain trying to think of them! So, thanks for doing my dirty work. ;) I was obsessed with BSC books too! I even tried to form my own club with some friends in 6th grade, but none of them were as dedicated as I wanted to be. I too HAD to try to collect every single one in the series, but couldn't keep up. The Super Specials became my favorites b/c of the fun vacations they took. Now, I have my collection in my classroom library. My kids don't seem to like them though. I am so glad you posted about the Sunfire Historical Romances!

I'm pretty sure she was going to fire me WITHOUT having read my blog (she didn't like the results of a personality test all employees were forced to take). But the one roommate who I currently despise found my blog. I won't be writing any more nasty-grams about her but I'm not about to take what I've already written down because my feelings haven't changed.

I think I might need to make a visit to amazon to buy a couple of them!! I think one of the first books my mom bought me was "Are you there God? It's me, Margaret." (heh.. if only she knew that Judy's "grown up" books were saucy she might not have ever turned me on to Judy!) But those "Young Adult" books... man.. have I got a list of those a mile long of ones I loved! Sweet Valley High, Baby-Sitter's Club, ALL of Judy Blume's books, Susan Beth Pfeffer, etc. etc... Actually, I'd like to get my hand on a list of "banned" books (wait, I just found it while I was looking up the name of the book in the next sentence) - remember those? I bought "Go Ask Alice" once because it was the only banned book I could remember from the list. <strong><em>I remember Fifteen by Judy Blume being pretty risque back then. I was from a very small, slightly backwards community and even it didn't ban books. Thank goodness for that. Go Ask Alice sounds so familiar...must research now.

I had forgotten about Ghosts Beneath Our Feet. For the life of me I have no clue what it's about but I remember being enthralled with the cover for some reason. I was a huge fan of the Encyclopedia Brown series and a series called Freddy the Pig. That series is actually pretty old, I think my dad read it as a kid, but it's genius and I still read them from time to time. <strong><em>Ahhh, that's cute about Freddy the Pig :-) I loved all of these!
