pick4✨ Definitely another creepy tale. Siblings notice that their dad is acting even stranger than usual when they see him working on a new plant experiment. I didn‘t like that the kids were so naive, but that was really my only complaint because they did end up making the right choice. #Scarathlon #BatBrigade @Catsandbooks
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I listened to this one on Hoopla and it was so fun. The narrator made classic voices for each family member. And the RL Stine intro was a perfect touch! Enjoying reading some of these again as an adult 😂
Stay Out of The Basement is a novel written by R.L. Stine. The book follows Casey and Margaret Brewer, whose father recently lost his job as a botanist. Mr. Brewer has gone crazy with his plant experiments down in the basement. When Ms. Brewer goes out of town, his obsession with plants gets out of hand, almost endangering his children.
pickI just realized I never posted this when the numbers first came out but I just finished my #DoubleSpin. Another reminder to not feed the plants!! 🩸🌱

pickLoved this book! It was short but a really good book. I use to read these books as a kid and they really freaked me out! I wasn't freaked out this time but definently intrigued. It's amazing how good of an author R.L. Stine is! I know they are kids books but I think I'm going to read some of them(: the ending caught me off guard and the writing is amazing!
One of my favorites.

pickThis was a good one. Evil plants in the basement, are they breathing? Are they alive? Is Margaret‘s father a plant creature? Such a fun read!
Finished this one Audio today.

I've never read any of the Goosebumps books so I decided to listen to some of them for #Scarathlon.

pickMy inner 90s kid is so satisfied after this enjoyable #spookyszn listen. Campy and cheesy in the best way.

pickThey should've stayed out of the basement.
That ending tho....😨
A cozy day filled with doggos (one still has the cone of shame), #Goosebumps, homemade chicken noodle soup, and a glass or two or three of wine 📚🥘🍷 Now this is the perfect way to spend a gloomy Saturday! #nostalgia #dogsoflitsy 🐶
pick#2 "Something's waiting in the dark...."
Margaret and Casey continue to worry about their father and his strange experiments on Plants he's doing in the basement. They are just harmless experiments... Right?

so-soGreat story with a creepy ending. I loved it. Had a tiny bit of science fiction to go with it. Great short read.
We‘re reading R.L. Stine for a spooky mini-episode due out on the 24th. Email us your Goosebumps memories and stories at thebookstorepodcast@gmail.com to have your letter read on the show!
so-soReading this particular Goosebumps tale, as a kiddo, freaked me out so much that I didn't eat anything green and leafy for a month. Steered clear of plants too. Ah, childhood. 😆As an adult, it's still pretty creepy to me. It's cheesy & predictable, but still enjoyable with an element of nostalgia. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I pretty much cut my horror teeth (fangs?) on creepy fairy tales and the Goosebumps series. I've been meaning to reread some of my childhood favorites, so I picked these up at my local bookstore. I think I'll start with Stay Out of the Basement! I miss the original covers but these are pretty close.
"The dirt was filled with dozens of moving insects. And long, brown earthworms. All crawling through the wet, black clumps that lined her father's bed." (So she goes downstairs, has breakfast, talks to her friend and doesn't think about it for the next 3 hours... Brilliant.)
