Was this Camp Sunnyside? I read a few books out of that series but I don't remember them at all.

This thread -- soooo many memories.

SLOW DOWN!
 

Ok, can someone PLEASE give me a run down of what happened about the time Dawn went back to CA? I'm so lost with that and the Forever friends thing. If I had the money, I'd go get the ones I haven't read. They don't have them in my county Libraries. anymore.

And Fear Street was like that too. I read the Super Chillers. There was this one where the girl was about to put on lipstick that had a needle in it to tear up her lip. Then there was another one where I learned about the bubble in the vein thing and how that can kill you. I remember becoming extra anal when I helped my grandmother do her insulin shots.

And lets not forget Christopher Pike. I LOVED the one where the girl was a cyborg from the future who almost hooked up with her grandfather.

Y'all are just a bunch of SILLY-BILLY-GOO-GOOs. ;)

Toshe me up, Mary Anne!

I also read a non BSC Ann Martin book called Yours Truly, Shirley where the family adopts a little Vietnamese girl. Later, Ms. Martin used this storyline in the BSC when the Brewers adopted Emily Michelle.

Ohhh Claire Pike, the youngest of the 7 Pikes.

i use to read those books! never got really into the sweet valley high books, but there was two saga books they had out that i got into that told like the family history or something along that lines.

Can everyone name the baby-sitters' siblings?

Kristy: Her siblings are Charlie, Sam, and David Michael. Her stepsiblings are Karen and Andrew. She also has an adopted sister, Emily Michelle

Claudia: 1 older sister, Janine

Mary Anne: An only child. Stepsister is Dawn and stepbrother is Jeff.

Stacey: Only child

Dawn: 1 brother, Jeff. Her stepsister is Mary Anne

Mallory: 7 siblings. Triplets: Adam, Byron and Jordan, Vanessa, Nicky, Margo, and Claire.

Jessi: Two siblings. Little sister is Becca and baby brother is "Squirt". I don't remember what Squirt's real name is. :(

boys will never understand
 

This is hands down my favorite GC thread EVER!! :D

I remember how popular Goosebumps were and how I thought they were actually really scary. There were soo soo many of those books!!

I also had a few "Pets Inc" books, which was like a babysitters club fo Pets. They even had the officers written on the back.

About the babysitters club song...If you had asked me if I had ever seen the show, I would have said no..but reading the lyrics, I found myself singing along in tune haha. Apparently I watched them and didnt remember! (Or I just know it instinctively from being such an avid fan of the books...who knows)

Bumping because I stumbled across this article, written by a 30-something reflecting on her SVH love-affair. I feel like I could have written it myself:
The Training Bras of Literature

And here's a laugh-until-you-cry look back at SVH, written by another sentimental 30-something:
Slam Book Fever!

I SO want to call up my family and make sure they have the game still. The books are out on a big shelf in the living room lol. Quality reading in a house w 3 daughters!

wasn't slam book fever the one where people wrote sh*t about each other in the slam books and then Jessica got a taste of her own medicine in the end when people wrote trash about her? or was it elizabeth?

did anyone else think that SVH series SUCKED! COMPLETELY not as I imagined the books, PLUS the episodes were short and supposed to be comic. SVH was a bunch of DRAMA! Although I think they nailed Lila completely.
