I did it!
I now have every Baby-sitters Club book!

My boyfriend and I were in Fredericton today, and we went to a huge used bookstore. They had tons of BSC books there, although it was mostly because there were multiple copies of earlier books and very few after about #80. There also weren't many Super Specials or other books outside of the regular series, but for some reason I had a feeling that I'd find what I was looking for there, and I did. There was a copy of Mystery #35: Abby and the Notorious Neighbor, which was the last book left that I needed.

So I've got all the regular series, Super Specials, Mysteries, Super Mysteries, Friends Forevers, Friends Forever special editions, Portrait Collections, Special Edition Readers' Requests, California Diaries, Chain Letter, Secret Santa, the Complete Guide, the Postcard Book, the Notebook, the Guide to Baby-sitting, the movie novelization, and the Ann M. Martin biography. This feels like Stage 1 of a "complete BSC book collection."

Now I can focus more on LS (I also got two of those today), The Kids in Ms. Colman's Class, new-style covers, replacing some of the more worn books in my collection with ones in better condition, foreign editions, and non-book materials. Whee!

Oh, and I'm also still looking for another copy of #89 Kristy and the Dirty Diapers because my copy is somewhere in my parents' house and it's bugging me to still have one book missing from my apartment even though I actually own them all.
