That's 25,017 pages.
You are now reading the journal of a girl who has, in the last 4 months, read EVERY SINGLE regular Baby-sitters Club book in order. That's 131 regular books, 15 super specials, 9 portrait series books, and 14 Friends Forever books. That's 169 books. That's 25,017 pages. It took me longer than I expected it to. I got held up a few times by not being able to find certain books or by books taking longer to ship to me than they should have. I even got held up a few times by, you know, REAL LIFE.
And now I'm done. And my life can resume. I can even read a real book again, one written for adults.
Feel free to take bets on whether or not that'll happen.

So what was the moral of the story? You read eight billion kids books -- there's GOT to be a lesson!

The moral of the story is: it's hard to be 13, but don't take it for granted, because life speeds by quickly (even if 1 year can be redone over and over for 15 years) and every experience makes you who you are.
Oh, yeah--also, your clique is better than every other clique.

As Claudia would say, OH MY LORD!
So which book was your favorite? Your least favorite?
(My fave as a kid was the Super Special where they all went to New York.)

Is it weird that I'm jealous of you??? I mean, I sold a bunch of my books, and now I almost wish I hadn't. I now want a complete set, and will have to rely on PaperBackSwap.
