Feminist Recommendation: The Babysitters Club

When a group of girls decide to start a babysitting business together in their home town of Stoneybrook, they find comfort, support and friendship in each other as they make it through middle school. Kristy Thomas is a headstrong 'tomboy' and a natural born leader. Mary Anne Spier is a shy girl with a love of musical theater and has an overbearing, protective father watching over her. Claudia Kishi is a creative fashionista who flunks out in the maths department of her schooling. Stacey McGill is the chic new girl from New York with a secret, and Dawn Schafer is a determined activist and loyal friend. With their creation of 'The Baby-Sitters Club' we see the five girls grow, as we follow individual stories of their babysitting ventures.

The most Baby-sitters Club thing to happen in the Baby-sitters Club show is absolutely in the finale when they're all losing it at Camp Moose head and Claudia says, "Kristy, do something!" To which Kristy's (obvious) response is to pull her BSC President hat out of her back pocket (bc of course she keeps that thing on her) and call an emergency meeting.

Kristy: What, pssh, no, that's disgusting! And wrong! I don’t even get- Why would you think that? I’ve never been in love with anyone, anywhere, anytime. It’s none of your- You have the nerve, the audacity- Stacey is my friend, and she is terrible face wise. Well, no, that’s not true but- Anyway! How- How do I know that YOU are not in love with her? Maybe you’re trying to throw me off! Yeah, that’s what I thought, Claudia Kishi. Gotcha. Check and mate.

Claudia: So a while then

December 2022 Book Review (Part 1)

Believe it or not, I do have interests outside of the One Chicago & Grey's Anatomy fandoms lol One of my favorite pastimes is reading. I usually have an old-fashioned "tree" book in hand. I adore the written word. Fiction is my jam. Escaping into a fantasy world where anything is possible feels amazing!

I thought every once in a while, I'd share my thoughts about the books I'm reading. Please feel free to chime in with your opinions as well. I'd love to hear about your own favorite books. Oh, and send me some recs if you can!

I have read 16 total novels in the month of December. I am pretty sure I won't finish any more before the year is up but here is the first of two lists with a few thoughts on each book. Thanks for checking out this post & come back soon please for Part 2.

Dread on Arrival

I've read 2 or 3 other books in this series, and not one of them has impressed me. Like, at all. But this one was by far the worst of the bunch. The plot was terrible. There were about 200 hundred characters to try to remember, and if it was supposed to be a murder mystery, where was the damned murder, huh? It didn't happen until almost 70% through the book and the denouement was shoddily wrapped up. The best part about this book? Finishing it! I will not be reading anymore Claudia Bishop books from here on out.

Mary Anne's Bad-Luck Mystery

So, I have a little confession to make. I am an incurable "Baby-sitters Club" addict. There is no fix for me. I am hopeless as I am way past my tween years but still reading these books with no end in sight. My dream is to be Ann M. Martin and invent a series with characters as iconic and amazing as Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and the rest of the gang. I mean, if only...

But I digress. We're here to talk about Mary Anne and her Bad Luck. This was actually one of the rare books I'd never read before and while I enjoyed it for the most part, I thought it paled in comparison to the epic spookiness of The Ghost at Dawn's House (book # 9). That book had meat and depth & moved important story forward. This was pretty silly, and kind of felt like a whole lot of something about nothing. But hey, not every book needs to be deep and heavy like War and Peace, right?

Author Day

Speaking of Ann M. Martin, it was only about a year ago that I learned she wrote a spin-off series to the "Baby-sitters Club Little Sister" series called “The Kids in Ms. Colman's Class”. (Color me shocked that I did not know everything about my bookish idol lol) This was a very short-lived series. I think it has maybe 12 or 13 books and it follows (as the series title suggests) the kids in Ms. Colman’s class. They are the fellow classmates of the precocious Karen Brewer who is Kristy Thomas’s stepsister (Kristy is, as most people know, the founder & president of the BSC).

The series is very pedestrian, very dry, and pretty darn generic. I honestly wonder if Ann even really wrote it herself, or if one of her ghostwriters did. It’s full of lazy storytelling. The plot of this one is so thin, it’s almost invisible. I honestly only gave it 3 stars out of loyalty to the BSC franchise. I know. Bad me, bad me. I can see why the series did not take off. Ann (or her ghostwriter, or whomever) did not even try to give these kids unique personalities. It’s a shame too because it could have been a cool concept for the pre-tween crowd of the 90's.

The Mystery at Lilac Inn

Ahh my Nancy Drew. Now there’s another series I really like & grew up with. Nancy is such a cool character, always so quick on her feet and ready to tackle any mystery that comes her way. I also like that she’s truly sympathetic to the hardships that befall the misfortunate in these books & always willing to make things right for the people the best way she knows how. If Ann M. Martin is my real-life bookish idol, then Ms. Drew is my fictional one. Oh, to be like that fearless titan blonde snoop!

This book in particular was pretty exciting to read. Our pal Nancy got into some big trouble. There were some vicious baddies, including a Nancy doppelganger! There was danger galore. Sweet Helen Corning (my favorite of Nancy’s sidekicks) was around. I was a pretty happy camper. A solid read for sure.

The Family Remains This is the follow-up to the hit bestseller The Family Upstairs. I was hypnotized by that book. It had me on the edge of my seat, furiously turning pages, excited to see what would come next. This book? Not so much. It wasn't bad. Not at all. But I felt Jewell tried too hard to 1) preach to her readers & 2) wrap things up in a neat little bow, thus forsaking a lot of excitement and drama in the process. Truthfully, I read psychological thrillers for well, the thrill, and for the insanity of it all, and there wasn't a ton of either here. It was kind of a letdown and I'm wondering if Jewell should have left well enough alone with just the one book. Not every loose end needs to be tied up. In real life, things stay tangled sometimes.

Stacey’s Mistake Another day, another BSC read, but honestly, I didn’t enjoy this one very much, to be honest. I am not a big fan of the books where the girls have their feet on each other’s necks, and that was certainly the case here pretty much from beginning to nearly the end. Obviously, teen girls are gunna teen girl, & fight. That’s a given, but they get so mean about it, you gotta wonder why they even hang out sometimes. Plus, I found some of the characterizations off. Confidant, self-assured Cali girl Dawn suddenly was scared of her own shadow? Did not compute. It was just a weird book all around. Again, I rated it a 3 simply out of loyalty to the BSC franchise, but it’s far from my fave book in the series.

Spirit of the Season

I read a review from someone that said this was the “worst book ever written”. While I can’t totally agree (that dubious “honor” actually belongs to the 50 Shades books *sorry Christian Grey fans!*), it is pretty bad. What do you call a Christmas tale without charm, warmth, whimsy, humor, or joy? Crap. Spirit of the Season was utter crap! Sticky crap oozing on the sidewalk. I think I’ve read Michaels before. She was never Shakespeare, but she wasn’t bad… Was she?

The main character in this was so selfish and rude. The way she kept verbally attacking the help at her late grandmother’s bed and breakfast was awful. And they’d forgive her simply because of her stress and “low blood sugar”. Like, no, no. Girl’s a beeyotch, that doesn’t fly with me. There was zero romantic chemistry between her and her new beau. Their insta-love was pathetic. I enjoy a good romance like nobody’s business, but this wasn't it. So, if you’re looking for a holiday read next year, do yourself a favor and don't pick up this one!

Cut

How do you rate a book like Cut? It’s such an important topic. I read the writer spent something like 3 years researching the topic before she wrote it. That's a serious commitment. This was short, almost too short, but still powerful with a fairly hopeful ending. Maybe too hopeful. Do things ever wrap up that easily in real life? Still, the prose was sparse and strong. While it was not quite on the level of a book like Speak (though that also has a too-convenient ending), it was still very readable and relatable. I would recommend it to all teens.

And that's it for now, folks. I will have the second & final part of my December book reviews up in a few days. Thanks for checking this out!
