Most of my book choices are somewhat determined by the cover since that is what grabs my attention first. Specifically though, I remember in elementary school, the Goosebumps series by R.L. Stein were the thing to have. The word Goosebumps at the top actually felt like little bumps, and the covers were always of skeletons, ghosts or scary people. I don’t remember any details from the books, but these 2 were my favorites. I probably liked the pink and purple on the phantom one, and the photo theme of the second one. I get really scared by ghost stories, so I don’t know why I would have actually enjoyed these. I guess it shows you the power of a good cover (and also the power of your peers.)
