After the Read-a-thon I wanted to read something a bit lighter. Soooooo, I went to my parents’ house and went through some boxes of my old books. I chose 3 of my old Babysitters Club books by Ann M. Martin. It was my favourite book series between the ages of 8 and 11. Sadly, their not available for purchase anymore unless you can find them on Ebay or used on Amazon. Over the last 3 days, I’ve read Super Special#5 California Here We Come!. Where the girls go on a trip to California and stay at Dawn’s father’s house after winning some money. Next Super Special #6 New York, New York, the gang go to..you guessed it, NYC and stay with Stacey’s dad. Yesterday, I finished Super Special #7 Snowbound where a random snowstorm hits the girls’ hometown of Stoneybrook, Conneticut and we learn about the adventures (or misadventures
) that they go through before, during, and after it.
It was nice to have a little break with some of the books that got me so interested in reading in the first place. I think I’m ready now to go back to some adult reading (but not the inappropriate kind).
I just did that yesterday! I read the new graphic novel version of The Truth about Stacey. I loved it and was transported back into my childhood. The one thing I remembered about Super Special #5 was how Mallory dyed her hair blond to fit in. My favorite book in that series is #49: Mallory on Strike. What’s yours?
