Childhood Favourites

A few days ago, I was browsing the Internet when I came across a series of horror novels called Goosebumps. It brought back memories of my primary school days. The series is aimed at kids despite being horror. I used to go to the library after school and look for a Goosebump book I hadn’t read before. Some books were scarier than others. There are over 200 books in the series! I don’t think I’ve read all of them.
Did you have a favourite book series when you were a kid?
What did you usually do after school?

*primary school – elementary school

数日前、インターネットを見ていたら「Goosebumps」というホラー小説シリーズをふと見つけ、小学校時代を思い出しました。このシリーズはホラーですが、子供向けです。放課後に図書館に行き、まだ読んでいない「Goosebumps」を探していました。いくつかは他のより怖かったです。シリーズには２００冊以上あって、全部は読み終えていないと思います。
みなさんは、子供の頃のお気に入りのシリーズ本はありますか？放課後はいつも何をしてましたか？
