The Baby-Sitters Club 2013 Reading Challenge

January 1, 2013 – December 31, 2013


I recently reorganized my (huge) collection of Ann M. Martin's books. This took longer than it should have as I kept stopping to flip through some of my favorite titles. This got me desperately wanting to sit down and just read them all over again. And so that is exactly what I'm going to do. In addition to my regular reading, I plan to read The Baby-Sitters Club series from Kristy's Great Idea to The Fire at Mary Anne's House. If time permits I will also read the Mysteries, Super Special, Super Mysteries, and any of the the other supplemental books. My plan is to stick with the books pertaining to the main members of the club and only shoot for the spin-off series if I'm incredibly crazy. I also plan to do this all over the course of 2013. I will mark the titles I've completed in red. I won't necessarily be reviewing the books (since every review will consist of "read this book") but will try to post updates about my progress. Want to join in the fun? I would love to discuss this series with you! Feel free to set your own BSC reading goal and read as many of the books that you can!
