Just have to say hi...
...because the BSC books were an absolute staple series of my childhood, alongside Goosebumps, Boxcar Children, & Sweet Valley Twins/Kids around the same time. I had loads and loads of these books, plus the Little Sisters & the movie and stuff. Guess by way of introducing myself to a bunch of fellow Stoneybrookites/BSC fanatics, I should do a bit of listing (one of my favorite things to do ever), of my favorite characters & books and such.
Oh, and I always was and still am a HUUUUGE fan of the cover artwork (same for the other series I mentioned.) XD As I can tell almost everyone here probably also is. I am infinitely thankful for that Dibbly-Fresh.com gallery; it's amazing. I was always told not to judge a book by its cover, but I dunno, those pictures definitely contributed to my enjoyment! ^-^
So...first off, my favorite Baby-Sitter, that's the obvious question. And an easy one. Definitely Mallory. I always identified with her the most. For one thing...we could seriously be twins. I have her same frizzy, curly red hair and glasses (and yes, I get frustrated with the hair sometimes too because it's difficult, but ultimately I love it and I think we're very lucky.) But I could've played her! >D Also, we're bookworms...and if you replace "horses" with "dogs" or "fishes," we share the same intensity of love for certain types of animals. Furthermore, I like her style (though that's true for a lot of them), most of her books, her siblings, her personality, etc. etc. And I think she's pretty (no, not because she looks like me, lol; I really just do.) Then again, they ALL are. NOT TO MENTION...Mallory Hates Boys (and Gym) tops my fave books list because at the time I first read it, I felt as if Ann M. Martin had read my mind and expressed the very thoughts in my head...oh, did I hate boys and gym back then...xD
Second place would be Dawn, the environmentalist. It's her 'hippieness' that I like and identify with the best, along with most other things about her.
Next, Claudia. Her artsy style is ecletic and awesome and unique. I enjoyed a lot of her books and actually, I like her name the most out of all of them (followed by Stacey/Anastasia.)
Fourth, Kristy. Dog person like me, with a take-charge attitude and strong organizational skills...plus, she's a tomboy and that is great. I sorta am as well, though I'm not a big sports nut like her.
Fifth, Abby. She was really cool...I liked Anna too, and of course, her big thick hair!! x3
Sixth, Mary Anne. The shy, quiet one, so I could relate, since I'm quiet as well.
Then Stacey. I dunno now quite why I'm putting them in this order, since I like all of them. Stace had many good books and a great style.
And Jessi. Sorry, somebody had to come last. But I like to swim and dance like her, I'm an animal lover, and plus she's Mal's BF so I have to think we'd get along rather well. :)
