the best friends you’ll never have
When I was a kid, I never read any of Ann’s non-BSC books, not until P.S. Longer Letter Later came out. Why, I’m not sure. In my elementary school’s library they were shelved right next to the BSC books, and I would pretty much read any chapter book I could get my hands on as […]
Yesterday I was in an English-language bookstore, and in the kids’ chapter books/YA section (which is all of 2 floor-to-ceiling bookshelves), they had six brand new BSC books for sale. I was tempted to buy one, but I couldn’t really justify paying 10 dollars for a book I owned back in America.
It’s been a fairly […]
There were many interesting responses to my last post. There was one in particular, however, for which I feel that my response merits its very own post, and not a comment in reply.

But anyway, I don’t think the books could be reprinted, not even if they were updated. It’s not the out of […]
Having just started a small fire in my kitchen while cooking rice, now seems like as good a time as any to stop my hiatus and return to posting here.
I have also been more absent than usual from my regular BSC-related internet activities, but not so absent that a shift in the fandom has passed […]
I just went on vacation and moved across the Atlantic, so that explains my lack of updates. Once I get settled in and buy an outlet adapter that works with my three-prong laptop charger, I will begin blogging again.
Today I was struck with a sudden thought. If you didn’t watch The Paper, go and watch the show on the site I just linked and then come back.
OK. Amanda Lorber=Karen Brewer in high school, yes?
edit: for non-USA readers, here’s a link to where you can watch the show.
Until I was about sixteen, I lived in my own head a lot, daydreaming about what I wanted to happen in my life. The BSC don’t seem to do that much, except in Chapter 2s where one of girls is riding their bicycle on the way to a meeting and thinking really, really hard about […]
I found this on youtube. It’s a song by a Czech band called SandWitch entitled “Mallory on Strike.” I’d like to think they were inspired by Ann’s novel, which I have been reading lately.
We now have over 500 articles on BSC Wikipedia, which is really exciting. If you haven’t joined yet, please do, because we want it to cover all the minutiae of BSC. If the system we have set up seems complicated and you’re a bit overwhelmed, don’t worry about it. We can always edit into BSC […]
Stacey and the Bad Girls happens to be one of my all-time favorite BSC books. It might in fact be my #1, but I haven’t really considered this question thoroughly yet. Anyway, this book, if you’re one of those people who missed out on the later series, takes place after Stacey vs the BSC, where […]
Stoneybrookite is a Baby-sitters Club blog written by Greer. It has been online in one form or another since 2002. Greer has been reading the BSC since 1993. She was also stamped as "Stacey" at BSC Stamped. Her geographic location is hard to pin down, as she has lived in seven cities in two countries in past five years, but a part of her is always in Stoneybrook. Hence "Stoneybrookite," the official term for residents of Stoneybrook.
