Baby-sitters Club Retro Tin #2 & more upcoming goodies

[luxken27]

I spotted a 2-in-1 version of the new-cover BSC books at Target today, but I didn't pick it up because all of the copies were bent or torn 😒 At $9.99 it is a steal, considering the new books are selling for $6.99 apiece.

Whilst searching the Target website for proof of said book, I instead ran across this tasty bit of news:

The baby-sitters are back!
Revisit the best friends you'll ever have with this brand-new retro collection featuring six of the classic adventures -- Kristy and the Snobs, Claudia and the New Girl, Stacey's Emergency, Jessi and the Superbrat, Mary Anne and the Great Romance, and Dawn's Wicked Stepsister -- all with their original covers, in a fantastic collectible BSC tin case.

Release date: 10/5/21

That's certainly an eclectic collection of books, and it includes some of my very favorites, so I'll definitely be stalking this release 💕

There are also some new, upcoming Netflix-series-tie in books: Welcome to Stoneybrook: A Guided Journal (release date: 5/4/21) and We Are the Baby-Sitters Club (release date 7/6/21), which appears to have a tie-in release date but which is actually "essays and artwork from grown-up readers." (BRB, adding to my GoodReads list.)

...I don't even begin to understand that collection for the tin. Like not even a little bit. o_O But nostalgia is the best drug and they're good books so onto the list it shall go!

I am so far behind on the new covers and they're all so cute... except for Mal's book. Whyyyyyyy?

Need to see inside the journal and oooh to the essays!

It does seem odd to go #11, #12, #43, #27, #30, #31, but WTH, I'll take it. Stacey's Emergency is one of my favorites so YES to it getting some love! I wonder which version of Jessi will show up on the Superbrat cover??

I'm curious about the journal, too, even tho I'm not into the revival series. I'm sort of a sucker for guided journalling, though they are usually too expensive for me to justify buying them.

ETA: I think its odd that they are only re-releasing the OG series but not the Super Specials - especially since the Netflix series kinda had a version of SS#2 as an episode.
