My siter used to have all the books of this



AND I MEAN ALL OF THEM
Am I A Douchebag If I Wear Two Monocles Instead of Glasses?

Me, too...all the BSC books, all the Little Sister books. Actually, I think the only ones I ultimately didn't get were some of the California Diaries and most of the "Friends Forever" final series, leading up to middle school graduation (felt more like high school graduation!) I very much want to read all of those that I might have missed, but don't want to order beat-up old copies of every one from AbeBooks and then have nothing to do with them once they're read...what I want, since they're sadly not available as audiobooks, is to be able to borrow them through the mail, and send them back when you're done, like Netflix--only for books. :/ How the hay does this not exist yet? Who will correct this oversight? I've been hearing that Barnes & Noble, the last great bookstore, may be going out of business. Here's my suggestion to you, B&N: Instead of shutting down, transform into a service that fills this much-needed niche!

I'm still missing some BSC books I did have most of them and still do. I wasn't a die hard fan of Little Sister like I was with BSC. I think I read all my BSC books once or twice. I'm 32 now but the last time I read one of my BSC books was when I was 28.

Yeah, I would read my favorite ones multiple times. :) I pretty much loved both series almost equally...although I would now put the BSC above Little Sister, if pressed. I'm 27 now, and recently reread some of the later books (Super-Specials, Friends Forevers, & the Complete Guide that pretty much sums up everything--until a certain point in the series when it was compiled, anyway. The last FF book sums up a lot, too.) It was some seriously emotional reading, man. So many memories, so many parallel life events, and so much of myself and my own friends reflected in these characters.

I'm 33 and I still go back in my collection and read the BSC book just to read it. They are classics for real. I didn't have every single BSC book I know I was missing some especially from the mystery section. I didn't care for the Little Sister I read a handful of the series but I just couldn't get into like the BSC.
