Wordy Words on WordsYou know what’s fun? Seeing what RL Stine is excited about.<br> <br> When he gets really into something, it will span a few books like he ALSO suffers from hyper-fixation. It comes, rises to a fever pitch, then goes away.<br> <br> In this case, we’re talking about time travel.<br> <br> And it’s a fine book. A little gaslight-ey and I absolutely HATE magic being used in stories because it oh so very rarely has any rules to it and acts more like plot convenience than anything else (and this book is not the exception).<br> <br> The characters are a little strange.<br> <br> I don’t know. This is one of those books that you read and you enjoy but then you’re talking about it to a bunch of attractive strangers on the internet and suddenly you start to doubt your own taste.<br> <br> The characters were weird.<br> <br> It’s got a lot of gaslighting.<br> <br> Time travel.<br> <br> Magic.<br> <br> …<br> <br> Oh well - I’n sure we’ve all been there, right? Inexplicably enjoying something?<br> <br> Maybe it’s just that the last book sucked THAT bad that anything is an improvement. But I was also solidly locked in a hotel room with fever, fatigue, and a grateful staff that left me food outside my door when I called to tell them please don’t send up housekeeping because I don’t want them catching my Covid.<br> <br> The lady at the desk said Covid’s been going on forever and I was the FIRST person to warn them. Tons of people had it and not a single one of those assholes cared about the health and wellbeing of the hotel staff.<br> <br> Anyway, they left me a bunch of breakfast foods and fruits and I laid on the couch reading Goosebumps book after Goosebumps book.<br> <br> Is this one of my favorites?<br> <br> No.<br> <br> But the NEXT one IS one of my favorites and I cant wait to go into it with you.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/books?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookrecommendation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookrecommendation</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booktok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#booktok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstagram?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstagram</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstagrammer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstagrammer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booksky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#booksky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readersofpixelfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#readersofpixelfed</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/read?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#read</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readinglog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#readinglog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rlstine?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rlstine</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rlstinegoosebumps?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rlstinegoosebumps</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/goosebumps?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goosebumps</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/goosebumpsbook?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goosebumpsbook</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/goosebumpsbooks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goosebumpsbooks</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/anightinterrortower?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anightinterrortower</a>
