Goblin Monday by R.L. Stine My rating: 4 of 5 stars I picked this up this afternoon and pretty much finished it in one sitting. Mario is looking forward to seeing the snow, and now that he's tagging along with his best friends and their parents to Vermont, that's exactly what h…

Scariest. Book. Ever. by R.L. Stine My rating: 4 of 5 stars When I found out a new Goosebumps book was released, I wanted to check it out. Of course. Betty and Billy are staying with Uncle Wendell while their parents go to London. He lives in a house in the woods and collects books. H…

A Nightmare on Clown Street by R.L. Stine My rating: 4 of 5 stars I'm pretty sure this is the first Goosebumps Most Wanted I've read. With a cover like that, of course I had to check it out. Ray's uncle, Theo, is a clown in Koko's Klown Academy, so Ray Gun loves th…

The Wizard Of Ooze by R.L. Stine My rating: 1 of 5 stars I actually enjoyed a bunch of the earlier HorrorLand Goosebumps series, but these later ones are really NOT grabbing me. Marco gets his hands on a rare edition of his favourite comic book, The Ooze, at the Chiller House gift s…

When The Ghost Dog Howls by R.L. Stine My rating: 2 of 5 stars Late last week, I set myself a small reading challenge: read the 10 Goosebumps HorrorLand books we found in one of our local thrift stores earlier this year. Well, this is the last one. And I have to say it's one …

Escape From Horrorland by R.L. Stine My rating: 3 of 5 stars While the previous Goosebumps HorrorLand books were novels with a shortie at the end, this entire installment takes place in HorrorLand. Well, actually, that's not right. It takes place in Panic Park. That's righ…

Help! We Have Strange Powers! by R.L. Stine My rating: 1 of 5 stars Okay, so this book was SO meh, I had to skim a lot of it. The problem is that I didn't find Jillian and Jackson very interesting. Actually, their story was boring and quite ridiculous. These two are twins who d…

Say Cheese - And Die Screaming by R.L. Stine My rating: 2 of 5 stars This happens to be the eighth book in the Goosebumps HorrorLand series and I didn't enjoy it as much as some of the others. I read another Say Cheese and Die! story a few years back, which I really enjoyed. …

My Friends Call Me Monster by R.L. Stine My rating: 5 of 5 stars You know, when I started reading this book, I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy it. I mean, it starts with three friends breaking into their teacher's house to dump a black cat, hoping to freak her out becau…

Who's Your Mummy? by R.L. Stine My rating: 5 of 5 stars I'm really enjoying this Goosebumps HorrorLand reading binge. Especially after finishing this AWESOME book. Abby and her brother Peter go to stay with their Uncle Jonathan, who they don't know, because their grand…

Dr. Maniac vs. Robby Schwartz by R.L. Stine My rating: 1 of 5 stars I know this is aimed at kids, but there's a reason why people don't like stories that end with 'and it was all a dream' . Although this book didn't end on that note exactly, the same vibes are t…

The Scream of the Haunted Mask by R.L. Stine My rating: 5 of 5 stars Well, this happens to be the fourth book in the Goosebumps HorrorLand series. It's also technically the third book about the dreaded Haunted Mask, but because I've found most of these books in thrift stor…

Creep from the Deep by R.L. Stine My rating: 3 of 5 stars This is the second book in the Goosebumps HorrorLand series and although the cover is super cool, it doesn't match the story. At all. When siblings, Billy and Sheena spend the summer on their uncle's boat, they'…

Revenge of the Living Dummy by R.L. Stine My rating: 5 of 5 stars This happens to be the first Goosebumps HorrorLand book, but it's not actually the first I've read in this series. Britney Crosby doesn't like her annoying cousin, so when Ethan arrives with a creepy ven…

Beware: The Art of Goosebumps by Sarah Rodriguez My rating: 5 of 5 stars I really like Goosebumps books. Not just because I used to read them to my daughter, but because I'd actually checked them out before she was born. They're cool and creepy, funny and sad. Always freaky …

Little Shop of Hamsters by R.L. Stine My rating: 1 of 5 stars This really wasn't very good. Sam really wants a pet but his parents don't think he's responsible enough. So, he gets a job after school in a pet store called Little Shop of Hamsters... You know, Sam's pare…

One Day at Horrorland by R.L. Stine My rating: 4 of 5 stars Now, THIS is the kind of Goosebumps book that I enjoy. It was spooky, fun and full of weird things. When Lizzy and her family get lost on the way to the Zoo Gardens Theme Park, they end up in Horrorland for a day packed wit…

How I Got My Shrunken Head by R.L. Stine My rating: 2 of 5 stars This is another ridiculous Goosebumps book with a very cool cover. I was actually really enjoying Mark's weird little adventure until the whole Jungle Magic thing made an appearance and I laughed so much it was har…

Monster Blood by R.L. Stine My rating: 1 of 5 stars This is the worst Goosebumps book I've read so far. 😣 There are just so many problems with it. Starting with parents who sound like immature brats dumping their kid on a great-aunt they don't even know. And then Evan treat…

Why I Quit Zombie School by R.L. Stine My rating: 3 of 5 stars I decided to grab this book today. Mainly because the condition is so shitty and I want it out of the house. 💩 Matt has just been enrolled in boarding school for the first time. But this isn't your average schoo…
