![]() ![]() To this day, I’ve seen basically zero horror movies (even the iconic ones), so it should hardly come as a surprise that Goosebumps didn’t call to me when I was an elementary schooler. But guess what? I couldn’t have been less interested. They were big sellers at Scholastic book fairs (throwback!) and drew big crowds every week when it was my class’s turn to check out books at the library. Even the kids at my school who weren’t generally into reading seemed excited about these spooky books. I grew up in the nineties, and the Goosebumps series was pretty much everywhere. ![]() But there’s something different about Goosebumps. After all, while most of the books I cover on SSR are rereads for me, there have been plenty of episodes on which I’ve talked about my first experience reading a book that I missed while I was growing up (like, can you believe I had never read Anne of Green Gables before Episode 33?). I was 27 years old and it was for Episode 11 of the pod.Ĭonsidering the fact that I run a podcast that centers around the process of reading books intended for children as an adult, this might not seem especially remarkable. I read my first-ever Goosebumps book in the summer of 2018. ![]()
