80s Kid Book Club: Baby-Sitters Club, Sweet Valley Twins & Saddle Club Nostalgia @LiteraryWanderings

Uploaded July 2026 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

Today I'm taking a trip down memory lane with some beloved book series that shaped my love of reading in the 1980s and early 90s. In this reading vlog, I'm cracking open old Scholastic paperbacks and rereading:
📚 The Baby-Sitters Club by Ann M. Martin thriftbooks.com/series/the-baby-sitters-club/38547
Kristy, Claudia, Mary Anne, and Stacey started it all. Does the BSC still hold up?
📚 Sweet Valley Twins by Francine Pascal thriftbooks.com/series/sweet-valley-twins/39268
Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield at Sweet Valley Middle School. Twin drama, clubs, and 80s fashion.
📚 The Saddle Club by Bonnie Bryant thriftbooks.com/series/saddle-club/44589
Stevie, Carole, and Lisa at Pine Hollow Stables. Pure horse-girl nostalgia.

I'll share my honest reactions, what surprised me, what I had forgotten, and which books I'd still recommend today. Plus I'm sharing a bit of my vintage book collection and a chat about why I want to read my reread childhood favorites.
If you grew up on scholastic book fairs, pizza hut reading programs, and trading paperbacks with friends, this video is for you.

In this video, we explore the best headmistresses and headmasters in classic novels and discuss why they deserve more attention. Headteachers in classic fiction often embody the tension between institutional authority and personal conviction. They can be tyrants, mentors, bureaucrats, or revolutionaries and they tell us a great deal about what their societies valued in education, both the process itself as well as philosophical vision. ✨ *Let me know in the comments* ✨ Do you like to read books that feature headteachers? What books Ive mentioned here seem the most interesting to you or are already your favorites? And have you watched South Riding? ✨ *Books Mentioned* ✨ South Riding by Winifred Holtby: This 1936 masterpiece offers one of literatures most nuanced portraits of school leadership and community politics (so. much. politics). https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/south-riding_winifred-holtby/654436/?resultid=419c72db-1459-4b44-8c23-72f8e398dd00#edition=4699234&idiq=3818020 Villette by Charlotte Brontë: Set in a girls boarding school in Belgium, this book boasts one of Brontës most fascinating (and complex!) characters. https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/villette_charlotte-bront/3251050/?resultid=13ee52e2-c0e6-4016-a1a6-bdc93b19fd00#edition=8107143&idiq=48739698 Christopher Plummer reading Good-Bye Mr. Chips by James Hilton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eS 9rax7UA or read the physical copy: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/good-bye-mr-chips_james-hilton/319782/?resultid=46dbdd68-ab8f-4909-93be-9c99bdd2fcc6#edition=3754487&idiq=226393 Miss Read frequently features headmistresses in her popular series as well as standalone novels.

With no electricity I was free to disconnect and settle into my book retreat plan of reading classic horror by lamplight as the sun sets. 📚 Books featured in this video: • The Willows – Algernon Blackwood • The Wendigo – Algernon Blackwood Complete Works here: https://amzn.to/4zxUJF2 This was part reading retreat, part isolation experiment. Could I make it the full 24 hours surrounded by nothing but forest and classic horror? And did Blackwoods nature-based terror hit different while I was actually off-grid? ✨ *Let me know in the comments* ✨ Have you ever read any Classic Horror? Somehow reading nature horror from 100 years ago seems manageable and not *too* terrifying. This post may contain affiliate links.

$July Reading Wrap Up | Rosamunde Pilcher, Historical Fiction, Beach Reads Reading Vlog July was a month of literary highs, a reading slump, and some absolutely wonderful discoveries. In this July reading wrap up, Im sharing all the books I picked up, from cozy beach reads and gripping mysteries to the lush, emotional world of a Rosamunde Pilcher short story. I reread The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough (yes, it lives up to my memories) and fell deeper in love with mid-century British women authors, including Rumer Goddens beautifully quiet storytelling. I also tackled a stack of historical fiction, buddy read a few favorites, and worked my way through a mid-summer reading slump with some lighter beach reads. If you love classic womens fiction, 1940s and 1950s British authors, family sagas, and bookish vlogs with honest reading thoughts, this ones for you. ✨ *Let me know in the comments* ✨ What books Ive mentioned here seem the most interesting to you or are already your favorites? ✨ *Books and Videos Mentioned* ✨ 10 Adult Books That Feel Like Childhood Favorites - https://youtu.be/qIxwmtT40us 🌸 Spring Little Free Library Find - shttps://youtu.be/wmv3avwYnbI This post contains affiliate links.
