You'll Soon Be Able To Get 'The Baby-Sitter's Club' With Their Original Covers

By Tanya |

There are a few books that just scream childhood. Sweet Valley High was always a staple, Goosebumps were basically required reading, and then of course The Baby-Sitter's Club was crucial.

There were always new adventures for The Baby-Sitter's Club to go on, but obviously we all had our favorites.

Rumors started swirling about a new Baby-Sitter's Club TV show a little while ago, and while we were excited about it, there's something just extra special about the original books. Luckily for us, Scholastic realized this and has decided to make something for those of us who are feeling a little nostalgic.

Author of the series, Ann M. Martin, revealed that Scholastic has created a new box set of Baby-Sitter's Club books, but the best part is that they will all have the original covers!

No fancy revamps, no modernized girls, all of the covers will have the same look as they used to when they were originally released.

"So excited to share this news with BSC fans! Coming this August 28th, BSC books #1-6 will be available - with the classic covers - in this retro tin! Pre-order now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your favorite indie bookstore. I can't wait!"

The set will include books one to six, which means you'll get a chance to revisit these classic books:

1. Kristy's Great Idea

Scholastic

2. Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls

Scholastic

3. The Truth About Stacey

Scholastic

4. Mary Anne Saves the Day

Scholastic

5. Dawn and the Impossible Three

Scholastic

6. Kristy's Big Day

Scholastic

The best part about this is that the entire set of books is less than $40! You can preorder it now on Amazon and you'll receive it when it's released on August 28th. (Full disclosure, that is an affiliate link so we may make a small percentage if you do buy it.)

These timeless stories are still just as good today as they were when we were kids, and it'll be amazing to be able to pass them on to the next generation.

Not to mention the fact that for those of us who were impulsive (and stupid) and sold our copies at garage sales as kids will finally be able to get them back!

Who else is excited to order this set? I know I am!

As for the TV show, this is everything we know so far.

And if you want to collect your favorite Sweet Valley High books, there is a place you can buy all the original copies!

Top 5 Movies Set in Las Vegas

By Jordan N
There’s something about Las Vegas that has always made it a place of great fascination for filmmakers. One of the main reasons has to be the way it looks – quite unlike anywhere else on earth. With the flashing signs that can be picked out by orbiting spacecraft and the sheer investment that has gone into creating this amazing oasis in the heart of the Nevada Desert it’s a film set that’s already been built. The fact that it’s only a relatively short distance from Hollywood itself – an hour by plane – is also strongly in its favour

The Evolution of the NFL

By Jordan N
The NFL may be the single biggest sports league in the world, but it’s been a long and winding route to reach this point. Many of the major changes that have brought us here have taken place in the last thirty years, but none of these could have happened without what had gone before. For example, while there are now 32 teams split between the National Football League and the American Football Conference, this division dates back to merger that occurred in 1970 between the NFL and its rival the American Football League. And, while there have been countless

By Jordan N
NFL in the 90s. The Golden Years of FootballIf you can cast your mind back to what the NFL was like in the 90’s, you can perhaps remember some of the great teams and players of the time, not to mention some of the important milestones as well. Maybe you remember the Dallas Cowboys winning three Super Bowls in four years or when the Denver Broncos won a perfect season in 1998. Of course, there are plenty of memorable player moments too. Like when Dan Marino won the title of the best all-time passing leader. Or when Jerry Rice

Brace Yourself: The Backstreet Boys Released A New Song And Are Going On A World Tour

By Tanya
The Backstreet Boys have been one of the biggest bands in the country, well, the world for several decades now. After getting their start in the early 90s, they've managed to be one of the very few bands that has stuck together and continued performing. They didn't need a big reunion, because they didn't break up. Well, let's just pretend like that whole Kevin fiasco didn't happen. But anyways, they've been putting out music and performing together for 25 years now, and they have no intention of stopping. To be fair, they did warn of this two decades ago. They

By Tanya
If there was one product that you had to pick that would best represent what it was like to be a preteen in the 90s, I think a lot of us girls would agree that Lip Smackers would be the best choice. These little tubes of oftentimes glittered, scented, colorful lip-balm made us all feel like the fanciest of ladies, totally ready to grab our purses and do whatever it is that our moms did when they weren't paying attention to us. You had so many different choices too. You'd have a classic berry scented red Lip Smacker, you'd have
