So many memories. ^_^ And the 'scary stories' books are also great, though some of those illustrations freaked me out when I was younger. I think reading all that scary stuff when I was younger is why I like sneaking up on people now... that and because no one expects someone who's 6'2" to be able to sneak up on them.

When I was in grade school the girls passed around horror books (both teen horror stories and adult ones like Stephen King), and they all gave me nightmares. Even R.L. Stine's books scared me. I think that's why I like comedies. :)Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568183101637683554.post-86381406633948487152014-10-22T17:36:08.031-04:002014-10-22T17:36:08.031-04:00I remember The Indian In The Cupboard.

Death Knocks...I'm going to guess #3 is the lie.<br />Death Knocks sounds like the perfect book for Halloween. I'm currently reading Reborn and then will be diving into The New Mrs. Collins around Halloween and Soulless to follow! I think they are all perfect for this time of year=)<br />I loved reading scary stories as a child, even though I was such a scaredy cat. The Scary Story Series was the BEST and used to spook the heck out of me. <br />Kudos to Miranda for rescuing animals!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14498810090279251726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568183101637683554.post-59350799017146122272014-10-22T17:09:52.570-04:002014-10-22T17:09:52.570-04:00One is kind of obvious, so I'm going to say th...One is kind of obvious, so I'm going to say the lie is #2.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568183101637683554.post-78678550133025136872014-10-22T17:02:30.504-04:002014-10-22T17:02:30.504-04:00Thank you Crystal for hosting our books!
