This list brought back some memories. I was addicted to the babysitter's club back in the mid 90's. Also couldn't get enough Boxcar Children. I had a boxset of the first 19 books and I read them all to tatters. Good memories :) Ha! This list brought back some memories. I was addicted to the babysitter’s club back in the mid 90’s.
