Stop Clicking Refresh (February 18, 2008)[edit | edit source]
[Based on the name "istockphoto2636462wavegbm3.jpg", we can tell Troy linked some version of this stock photo.]
I'm taking a well-deserved Goosebumps vacation this week. Bee[1] sure to check in next Monday though for one of the most-requested titles-- you will all live to regret pestering me about that one.
Oh, and I hope you've all cleared you [sic] schedules next month so you can spend Spring Break With Slappy.
Better Late Than Never, But Better Never Late (April 7, 2008)[edit | edit source]
Don't get cross[2] with me, but this week's update is not ready yet and will be up on Wednesday. Hopefully this will be the last late update for a while though. Apologies to those who don't go to sleep and stayed up past their bedtime to refresh the front page over and over. I know I'm in deep trouble with you, but I promise your devotion is not invisible.
Man, now you don't know which hint to believe[3]

iStockphoto Strikes Again (May 26, 2008)[edit | edit source]

update this week. Regular entries will return
to normal next week, Monday June 02.
iStockphoto = Disappointment (August 4, 2008)[edit | edit source]
"C'mon gals, keep hitting 'refresh'!"
I started this week's book and there is a prologue.
--It's not likely that I'll be picking that book up from across the room for at least another day or two. Check back later in the week, gang.
EDIT: It's Friday and no update, I guess it's a pretty good bet there won't be one til Monday. Such is life, gang.
[More coming soon!]
Well well well (October 2, 2008)[edit | edit source]
Yeah I guess there's no update this week. I intended to go on Goosebumps Vacation next week too, but I guess that's out. I'll see you guys next Tuesday for the regular update. Oh, to ease the pain: There WILL be a special extra update on Halloween. But that's like a month away and who cares amirite
iStockphotoh No! (November 26, 2008)[edit | edit source]
I've spent the last 24 hours trying to write an entry for this week's book, which isn't even all that bad, and I'm coming up empty. Truth is, I'm suffering from severe Goosebumps burnout. The toll of rereading the same book over and over and finding new things to say has temporarily zapped my desire to continue the blog, and the writing's suffering as a result.
I'm taking a two-week break. Blogger Beware will return to the regular update schedule Tuesday December 9, with the hopes that this time spent apart will rejuvenate the entries. Don't worry, I promise not to go out with any other blogs in the meantime.
"Hang Troy by the stockings with care" (December 23, 2008)[edit | edit source]
Well... I intended to update tonite. But I'm out of town for the holiday and it turns out I brought the wrong book with me. So unless anyone wants another entry about Revenge R Us, it looks like Christmas comes late this year. Maybe my New Year's Resolution should be to write these things a week in advance, huh? In the meantime, MERRY HAPPIDAYS, EVERYONE!

So... who wants new entries? (January 11, 2009)[edit | edit source]
Regular update schedule returns next week.

The World Needs Laughter[4] (March 11, 2009)[edit | edit source]
As soon as I actually manage to finish Be Afraid-- Be Very Afraid, the entry will be posted. You may find yourself asking, "Is it really that unreadable that it's taken months to get through?" To which I can only reply, "It's a Goosebumps book about kids playing cards and I stopped reading it after an excitable dwarf got conjured." I'd say more now, but as stated, I can only reply, "It's a Goosebumps book about kids playing cards and I stopped reading it after an excitable dwarf got conjured."
