The Unicorn Club and Baby-Sitters Club Thread.... SVH/SVU Alumni

[tiggerfan1]

Hi! I'd like to join, too! I really loved the Sweet Valley Twins books when I was younger and I was so excited to see a post about it. It's great to see other SVT fans. Most of my friends back in elementary and middle school were Babysitters Club fans, so I could never discuss SVT books with them. When I was younger, I wished that I could be in the Unicorn Club and I even went through a "purple clothes" phase. I guess this is my chance to fulfill a childhood dream. Hey, should we call this thread the "Unicorner" ? I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you. Talk to ya later!

I'm in, I'm a BSC girl!

 

[TinkerbellRN]

oh my god, i am 100% in. i think i read every single one of both of those series...

Would you guys believe I still have most of my series books in my garage in a giant box? I keep telling myself my daughter will want to read them someday....

OK, HUGE BSC fan here, and I haven't read the whole thread, but I wanted to say hold on to your books! My DD11 and I have been looking for some, because I told her how much I loved those books, and they no longer sell them new anywhere. I wish I knew what happened to mine. I think I had ALL of them up to about 100 or so before I lost interest in it, and then a few more came out.

What's crazy is that my dog had diabetes. I was telling my mom this for months because he kept drinking water like crazy and was still always thirsty and he was losing weight. And sure enough he was diagnosed with it and we had to give him insulin shots. How did I know this before anybody else noticed? Because of Stacy from the BSC! That's how I learned the warning signs. Weird.

These were two of my favorite four book series growing up (along with Little House on the Prairie books and Anne of Green Gables books.)

I didn't notice this post when I first read through this thread. I am a BIG Anne of Green Gables fan!! It's nice to see another "kindred spirit".

If you have one of those huge used bookstores like Half Price Books, they usually have copies of the books for cheap.

I hope you're having a great time at WDW. Say hi to Tigger for me!

Hey, when do we get to talk about boys, clothes and makeup? Just kidding. Since our thread mother is gone, I'll try to get a discussion going.
For all the Sweet Valley fans: Who was your favorite Sweet Valley Twin/High character? For Babysitters Club fans: Who was your favorite BSC character?

My favorite Sweet Valley character was Mandy Miller. Even though she was a Unicorn, she wasn't snobby like some of the other girls were. She became my favorite character after I read the book Mandy Miller Fights Back. It was really inspiring to see how she remained strong and optimistic even though she had cancer. It was one of the only SVT books that made me cry.

Oh, I was a huge BSC fan as a kid! My dad actually took them away for a few days as a punishment once. Heck, I even tried to start a BSC of my own but it didn't take off, lol!

I didn't really get into the Sweet Valley ones and only read a few until the Sweet Valley University books came out. I loved that series and owned every one of them. I am still kicking myself for getting rid of them after I got married as I wish I would have saved them in case my dd would have liked them someday too.

Btw, I wasn't born till the beginning of '81 but I am pretty sure I still qualify.

You're welcome! Thanks for bringing up the Unicorn Club blinkie. I made the blinkie and I forgot to put it in my own signature! Typical me..... I just added it a couple minutes ago. By the way, it's nice to see you again! I haven't been on the DIS in several months and I just came back on a couple of days ago. It's great to be hanging out with my DIS friends again!

Oh my gosh! Just found this thread! BSC forever baby! LOL

I esp loved the Super Special when they all went to Disney World.

So did I!!! It never took off here either.

For Babysitters Club fans: Who was your favorite BSC character?

This is really hard, I'm not sure I had a favorite! There were things I liked about all of them, and things I disliked. Kristy was my least favorite (I was SO not a tomboy...did not get sports at all!). I loved Claudia's artistic side, but her inability to spell made me crazy Also I am adopted and I remember reading the one where she thinks she is adopted and was offended that she acted like it was so horrible.
I really liked Stacey a lot, but found her a little snobby; and I think I was most like Mary Anne, but found her a little wimpy. At the end of the day I think Dawn was probably my favorite.
