THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

The Baby-Sitter's Club ten-episode series on Netflix tomorrow. (Link is Washington Post, in case you're conserving your articles for the month.) TL;DR: apparently it's great.

Plz to reply with your favorite character and what portion of your 10-year-old life was spent reading BSC books. (My answers are Claudia, and about 80%)

NOTHING'S BETTER THAN FRIENDS!!! BABYSITTER'S CLUB!!!

I was a tomboy so, unsurprisingly, my favorite character was Kristy. I liked Stacey and Claudia a lot but I didn't identify with them at all as I was an unfashionable nerd.

I spent maybe 5% of my life at that age reading BSC books? It would've been higher but my mom called BSC & Sweet Valley & Saddle Club "brain candy" and limited me to one per book-buying trip.

Fun fact: my friend Cam and I wrote the first draft of the first book of a series called Computer Club which was explicitly modeled after Baby Sitters Club only instead of babysitting they did stuff with computers.

Alas, not part of my cultural heritage. Enjoy!<3
