Happy New Year! It is 2012. A brand new year, a brand new start! 
Ok, I’ve a confession to make. I absolutely love children’s books and series. I have my secret stash at home, a small collection built up with savings from my allowances. I’ve read them over and over again, from my tween years to my twenties. I read them when I’m happy. I read them when I’m down. I’ve expanded my collection and I’ve read more. Nothing’s better to read these books when life becomes a little too complicated and all I need is to escape to a world of innocence where all that matters are friendship, school work and maybe some after school activities.
When Scholastic announced that it will be re-releasing the Baby-Sitters Club (BSC) series, starting with a new book “The Summer Before”, I was escatic. I was determine to collect them all! So over the last year, I started collecting the new releases and reading the other BSC books that I’ve collected. And then, I started reading all the other series that I’ve collected: Stephanie, Sweet Valley, Enid Blyton’s St Claire’s and Mallory Towers series and of course, the Anne of Green Gables books. It brought me such pleasure!
Recently, I started reading blogs about people revisiting some of these books and it brought me so much joy. I too, would love to join the fun!
So here goes…
