Question: When did you first start visiting "The Bumps," and what is your favorite part of the site?
R.L.'s Answer: I've been checking out The Bumps for nearly half a year. It makes me happy to see how enthusiastic readers are about Goosebumps. It makes me want to keep writing good books for them. My favorite part of the website are the book and TV show reviews. They give me a good idea of what kids are thinking. Happy Anniversary to The Bumps!
