R.L Stine Challenge! Showing 51-100 of 1,612

chapter 8- yeah really Melissa! I thought that too.

[Tyler]

^_^

I'm just nervous about the ending. I have a friend on here who loves R.L.Stine and fear street who hated this book and something to do with the ending. I didn't look at what exactly because of spoilers which were tagged, so I didn't click.

But i've read the first 11 chapters so far, 1/2 the book! :)

[Latasha]

I'm on chapter 11. I have no idea how this ends. I don't remember any of it.

chapter 10
(view spoiler)[ I have never heard of The Old Village side of shadyside til this book. and it's the older part of town? crazy it's not as bad as fear street huh? and south high school- new to me as well. I guess R.L. had to expand the town lol (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

I've always wondered why Stine describes Fear Street as an actual street when logically it seems more like a neighborhood.

chapter 10
[spoilers removed]"

I don't believe I ever read this one. If I did it's completely left my mind. Any books I might have had would have been lost to a fire years ago, so all I have to go on is memory, and mine sucks.

(view spoiler)[
Lol I guess he did have to expand the town after awhile. Fear Street could be a large street...but if it's just one street that isn't really a town. Or maybe there are some small towns that are just a street? I have no idea, that'd be a very small town. And with a high school like Shadyside...I can't imagine Shadyside being in a one street town lol (hide spoiler)]

[Latasha]

I think fear street is just a street in shadysude. I never picture it like it’s described in the books. I always saw it as a run down , these House are condemned street. Lawns overgrown, just the worse of the worse. But he usually describes it as having old run down Victorians on each side of the street. Back in the day, I had a map of Shadyside. Did any of you have it? I think u can still buy them on eBay.

I have no idea.

[Latasha]

Chapter 12- Red Heat. Lol R.L is so creative with naming places 😝 Melissa’s outfit?!?? Hahaha such nostalgia.

[Tyler]

I didn't know there was a map of Shadyside. I'll probably finish the book tomorrow, hopefully. :)

[Latasha]

I finished the book. I can see why your friend got upset but it didn’t bother me. I’m giving this one 3 ⭐️
(view spoiler)[ I think Paul was out of control. He was either going to end up dead or in prison. (hide spoiler)]

[Tyler]

Yeah, looking at the non-spoiler section i'm thinking we are reading it a bit differently, though I see what they are saying. I'm liking it so far. Hope to finish it tomorrow. I don't think this is going to get 5 stars from me, but probably 3-4 is my current guess, of course i'm staying away from the spoiler section so I don't actually know what the twist is yet.

I also thought it was a different person, one who loves fear street stuff. My memory sucks and I suck at being very observant >.< so there is also that. I'm also tired. >.<

But I am enjoying it so far :)

[Latasha]

Lol glad you like it so far.

[Tyler]

Chapter 13
(view spoiler)[If the twist is that she's actually crazy i'm going to lose it. I relate so much to her in some ways and I feel bad for the way people are treating her.

Guys are cruel, rape culture is in this book. Though it looks like it's a bad thing in the book to me, I can see why it'd bother others. Even before that last scene with Paul and his friends it's been in the book. Again it's not bothering me because of the way it's talked about, how she seems to realize it isn't right. Granted it's not spelled out but I can see subtleties that are making me enjoy this book.

But if the twist is she really is crazy i'm going to throw this book against the wall. (hide spoiler)]

[Tyler]

Well i'm done, given it 3 stars. I do need to think on it though.

(view spoiler)[That isn't how I thought it would end at all. Not entirely sure how I feel about it yet. I really enjoyed parts of it. I see why some people would be bothered by it though. She literally kisses the ghost of the boy who just tried to rape her and was planning on murdering her afterwards. But his ghost from the future also helped her to kill him...I literally just finished it so maybe I need some time to think. I've given it 3 stars at the moment. Definitely not bad in my opinion but yeah, I can see that bothering people. (hide spoiler)]

I thought. I reviewed. I give it 3.25 stars. I liked it :)

[Latasha]

Yes, I agree with your spoilers. Big time.

[Tyler]

I liked Haunted over-all and it got me thinking. I could see parts of it happening in real life. Ending up feeling for Melissa.

I'm excited for the months to come. One of my goals for this year was to read some Fear Street books, so when I saw this challenge it was perfect! :)

[Latasha]

I could definitely see parts of this book being real but i would hope (view spoiler)[ if a guy threatens to kill a girl she stays the hell away from him! (hide spoiler)]

[Latasha]

I have been going back and re-reading them but it always funner when you can talk about the book. These were a big chunk of my YA reading.

[Tyler]

That spoiler, true!

It definitely does make it funner when you can talk about the book to others :) I think I read more Goosebumps than Fear Street but I know I read at least a couple of them. R.L. Stine got me into reading, if I could read all of his books one day that'd be great. I don't know if that'll happen though lol but I can try.

[Ashley]

Okay so I just finished it. It was the first Fear Street book I had read which is why I suggested it for the first one. I admit it wasn't quite as good as I remembered, but it was still entertaining. I gave it 3 stars.
Melissa at times was kind of frustrating and Paul was just nuts.

[Latasha]

I agree Ashley.

[Tyler]

Agreed

[Latasha]

See you all next month for Broken Hearts

[Tyler]

See you next month for Broken Hearts :)

[Ashley]

See you all next month.

[Latasha]

it will be a few weeks before I start reading.

[Ashley]

I have a few books left over from January I need to finish first. So I'll probably start around mid month.

[Tyler]

I'll probably end up starting later in the month too

[Heather]

I will wait for you ladies and start later this month as well. I'm in the middle of a book currently and have another one to read before a bookclub at the end of the month. Can't wait to revist Fear Street though.

[Latasha]

Ok sounds good Heather.

[Latasha]

I’m switching some reads around. I’m ready to read this anytime.

[Latasha]

I started reading broken hearts last night.

[Tyler]

I won't be starting until later this month. Hope you enjoy it :)

[Latasha]

I’m not very far in, maybe 10 pages?

[Latasha]

Ok, Josie is a bitch! Chapter 4, Page 42.

[Latasha]

Ok I’d punch her. In the face.

[Latasha]

Chapter 7- Josie is a bitch. I think that’s going to be my review for the whole book. (view spoiler)[ I keep remembering this episode of unsolved mysteries. This girl was hit in the back of the head with something. She survived but had permanent brain damage. It’s heartbreaking. On Amazon prime it’s one of the first 18 episodes in season 1, I couldn’t find it but I haven’t watched past 18. But hearing rachel say how her sister doesn’t like her anymore is heartbreaking. She’s still a person damn it! (hide spoiler)]

[Latasha]

Chapter 9
(view spoiler)[ whoooa! Wait a second Josie! When do you ever brush Rachel’s hair or even talk to her? Still don’t feel sorry for her. (hide spoiler)]

[Latasha]

Chapter 15&16
Well I didn’t see that coming!

[Latasha]

Chapter 19- 😳🤯

[Latasha]

I'm done. I gave it 4 stars. it was full of twist that surprised me. hope y'all like it too.

[Tyler]

I won't be getting to this until the last week/bit of February. I'll still be getting to it in February it'll just be late February. I'm currently reading something (The Girl in 6E) thanks to ContemporaryAThon which ends the 18th, then I have to read a book I just got approved for on Netgalley which is archived the 25th, so i'll have that done by then then i'll be reading Broken Hearts, which shouldn't take more than a couple days anyway :)

Sorry for being so late on this one. I'll make sure to read March's as soon as possible.

[Latasha]

It’s ok. These are pretty quick reads.

[Tyler]

Latasha wrote: "It’s ok. These are pretty quick reads."

True :) They don't take me long to read.

[Latasha]

Me either.

[Tyler]

I'll be starting Broken Hearts tomorrow, or technically later today because it's past midnight :p Sorry it's so late but they are quick reads. :)

[Kyle]

Ohhh!! I really want to join this challenge! I grew up with Fear Street and I really loved them soo much!

[Ashley]

The more the merrier. March's book is Switched. February was Broken Hearts which some of us are still reading.

[Ashley]

I started Broken Hearts Monday and although I didn't remember a lot of it I do remember my 12 year old self loving the Valentine's card rhymes.

[Latasha]

Welcome to the challenge Holden!
