I've been reading these books since 3rd grade (17 years) and because they are so old, I never though to look for any fansites online! This is the first one I've found and so far I love it, I'm so glad there is one! I've had nobody to talk to about my BSC obsession EVER because I'm the only one I know who was (and still is) interested in them. I'm currently rereading ones I've read, ones I don't remember if I've read or not and there are still some that I haven't been able to get my hands on after all this time, if you can still believe it! I am having a blast reliving my preteen (tween) years I spent with my nose in these books! They jump-started my babysitting career I had in middle/high school! The girls are great role models for young girls. They're just all-round great books! I’ll be honest.

This is just my own theory, but I think there were fewer serious collectors here. I think a lot of girls read a few of the books here and there, but not as many tried to read all of them. @greer: I think the series was moderately popular here, as about 80%+ of the books were published.

Bummer! I can see the reissues being a US-only thing. Maybe Aus/NZ, because the BSC seems to have been very popular there, if the fandom is anything to go by. I've always noticed less of a UK presence. @myu: They never published the graphic novels in the UK? Bummer!

I still read the LJ communities when I can, but that's about it. I'm also not really that active in the reissue discussion because I'm not planning to buy the books; I doubt they'll even be published here, if the graphic novel is an example to go by.

It's exhausting being a grown up! I want a time warp of my own. Like WickedWonder, I’ve just been super busy with work and dealing with a new house and other “real-life” concerns lately.

There are nine billion discussions/fics about what we think the BSC did as adults, and if the question's answered for us, that'd take away a lot of the thrill of the fandom.
