My 8 year old actually wants to read scary books (like Goosebumps) because he's easily scared at the moment and he thinks that will help him be more brave. <br /><br />Have a great week. - Katie Just Another Girl and Her Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16895231437169823163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619089912491955920.post-30013489745493847302017-11-15T00:43:49.820-05:002017-11-15T00:43:49.820-05:00If I have kids, I would want them to share my love...If I have kids, I would want them to share my love of scary stories.

Personally, I was a bit of a wimpy kid and horror movies would keep me up at night, but horror novels were a way for me to enjoy the genre without being too creeped out :)<br /><br />~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619089912491955920.post-3138805804334663752017-11-14T21:04:08.702-05:002017-11-14T21:04:08.702-05:00I carried a copy of The Shining around like a secu...I carried a copy of The Shining around like a security blanket when I was little.
