Hey, I read #39 last night! :D (And, having grown up with an alcoholic dad, my mind went "EEEP!" at the Glass of Something.)
I read SS #5 awhile ago and had a small problem with the girls winning the lottery (I mean...oy), but overall, I just didn't care much for the book. The characterization of Mallory drove me up the wall. (LOL at your version of the Stacey story, given Stacey and the Bad Girls, #80something.)
Re: the California club. Do you have Dawn and the We <3 Kids Club? Jill and Sunny and Maggie are all in that, quite a bit. (And I have yet to read the California Diaries. I'm assuming--from one spoilery title later on--that Dawn goes back to CA for good, and the spinoff books follow her?)
Re: money. What cracks me up is that sometimes, particularly in the early books, the girls talk money. There's one where they pool their funds and reveal that they have, like, $25 dollars--enough for a pizza party AND new Kid Kits AND all kinds of stuff.
Re: dramatic readings. OMG, if you have it, do some of the scenes from #14, Hello, Mallory. It is fucking hilarious. The BSC does catty like nobody's business.
