pickMy son and I are starting Goosebumps now, which Im enjoying so far more than other stuff we‘ve been reading. I haven‘t read this probably since I was in junior high, so it was fun revisiting. So many times he was like “no! You can‘t stop there! One more chapter!”
pickFinished up the first Goosebumps book on my list for the banned books list. I always thought dummies were creepy but now I really do not like them.
pick"You can't kill me! I have POWERS!"
?? this tickled me. The twins were at each other's throats almost the entirety of this book and at least they saved their dog.

Took the toddler out today to pick up the final items for the #HauntedHollowSwap and #PoutinePenPals Thanksgiving swap and went to play with the Halloween animatronics for fun. Thought this creepy ass doll would scare him (yes I'm an ass like that 🤣) but the little terror giggled, grabbed and carried her through the rest of the store. Of course she came home with us!

Ventriloquist dummies and sibling rivalry and ventriloquist dummies (again) — oh my! 😱 On today‘s new episode of my podcast, I share about my second-EVER experience reading a book from the beloved Goosebumps series. This time, it‘s the iconic seventh book in the series, Night of the Living Dummy. My guest and i discuss our feelings about ventriloquism, the horror genre, and more! 👻 Link to listen in my bio!
pickThis is the first Goosebumps title I‘ve ever read. I should have tried these when I was a kid! Ventriloquist dummies are kinda creepy in nature, so it makes sense to base a book or two on the concept. The book was just a bit creepy, but more than anything it was fun! I get why this is among the most popular in the series. The narrator did a great job with her audiobook performance. I‘ll definitely be reading and listening to more of these. 36 pts
pickFinished book 1 for #24b4Monday - started my morning with audio instead of podcasts
So far have read 1:50:13 today.
This book was creepy! Dummy‘s are the worst! Especially after seeing the Goosebumps movies with evil dummies!

pick+3 for #teamstoker #scarathlon @TheReadingMermaid
Nothing creepier than inanimate objects coming to life and tormenting you!
My kid has spent the last hour in my bed listening to a Goosebumps book on audio. I‘m fully aware that I have no one to blame but myself, since he‘s been watching me with audiobooks for years.
I told him he has to still read paper books, too, just like I do, but Epic! is one of the more awesome apps out there for kids! 😃
#raisingreaders #HeAudiobooksNow
Tomorrow through #Halloween, I‘m putting the pause on my other audiobook to listen to this classic on my commute. Haven‘t read it since I was in single digits some 20-odd years ago and it terrified me so badly, I buried it in my closet until I was able to donate it to my local library. Now, I consume scary movies, TV, and books like it‘s my job. 🤷🏻♀️😂🎃👻 Happy Halloweek!
pickEnded up reading this 90s trip of a book. I never read these when I was young because I am a big baby but it was another good middle grade creepy quick read to make you NOT ready for bed. 💀🔪 #NightOfTheLivingDummy #RLStine
pickI read this one forever ago, but didn't remember any of it. Now I remember why I hate Slappy so much.
Odd fact: growing up I had the head of a dummy in my tot box at my grandmother's house. I dont remember why, but pure nightmare fuel. 😂
#goosebumpschallenge
I decided to listen to the audiobook of a Goosebumps book I had first read about twenty years ago! Although I wasn‘t as frightened by it as I was when I was eight, it still felt eerie and frightening in places. One part I didn‘t enjoy as much were the two main characters. It‘s been so long since the last time I read a Goosebumps book, I‘d forgotten how obnoxious some of the protagonists can be. #afraid #blackcatchallenge @Clwojick
pick#7 "He walks. He stalks..."
Kris and Lindy are twin sisters. But when Lindy finds a ventriloquist dummy and names it Slappy, she starts getting all the attention. It's when Kris gets her own dummy to show up her sister that things get weird. Dummies aren't real... are they?
#GoosebumpsChallenge
I love seeing other authors in books. I found this while reading to the kids tonight.
Waited an hour to meet R.L. Stine today! It was amazing 😊
#RockInMay
I'm choosing R.L. Stine for #PaperbackWriter
With five kids ages 5-17 in the house, we definitely have a large collection of his well-read and well-loved paperbacks!
so-soI've been reading through the #Goosebumps books by #RLStine as I've been collecting them. They were a huge part of my childhood & the main reason I became fascinated with horror & thriller novels. They're cheesy, but heartwarmingly nostalgic.
Dolls & dummies creep me the heck out, so this title definitely had its share of ickyness for me, haha. This is the 7th book in the series & so far it has horror down the best!
#middlegrade #horror
so-soI think reading this in like 3rd grade lead to me thinking ventriloquist dummies were creepy. 😳
pickits an very interesting horror thriller book all should read it
I read this when I was about 13 or so. I thought my life would surely end from terror a couple times, but I got through it. Then I promptly read the next 2. Joke was on me. #AllHallowsRead #ScaryReads
I'm almost positive that this is my first horror book. I don't own a copy of it though. 😔😔 #allhallowsread #firsthorror
My first horror books for #allhallowsread! I loved these books when I was younger and even gifted one of the originals I still had to my niece. My brother and I also loved watching Are You Afraid of the Dark? and Tales From the Crypt. Definitely loving the #creeplife even as a child.
I know I'm a little late for all the bookmark fun but I had to post my fave bookmark. Working at a used bookstore means finding lots of great bookmarks like this gem! Make sure though that you check your books before you sell them. I've found lots of lost family photos 😕
