Goosebumps
“One year in elementary school, we were given the option of taking a hobby photo in addition to our regular picture. My parents suggested I do a soccer photo or even one with my clarinet but I insisted on Goosebumps, explaining that the clarinet one would be too dorky. I’ve never actually read the book I’m holding and out of the 50 or so titles I collected in the series, I only read about 5. None of those 5 were the book I won a city-wide poster contest for in sixth grade; I just liked drawing wolves. I guess the judges never read them either.”
