Books I've read and provided detailed reviews over the years but all data is lost after accidental deletion and GD's refusal to restore it back.

Adding books back to my library for my own reference and tracking purposes

This is pretty cute. I really like the artwork. The story is kinda middle-grade-y but I knew that coming in though.

This is exactly what I feared it was going to be. I am sure most thought went into the representation and not the story itself.

Girl power! Tech girls! Friends! First girl crushes! Diverse characters! This was so cute yet totally RL Stine and I'm only sad that Mitra didn't get to date Weather.

 I can't say I was expecting a lot from a Goosebumps graphic novel, but ugh this was so disappointing. Middle grade comics can be, should be, and are better than this.

I just feel like this tried to fit too much in a very short page span. This is a series! There's no excuse! It came off an incoherent mess with tired tropes and references to other goosebumps works with zero explanation or reason. No aspect of the plot was explored in a satisfying way because there was simply to much going on; it was disjointed and underdeveloped.

It was nice to see an LGBT+ character in a mainstream middle grade book, but with so much else going on, the crush subplot was just another tacked on element.

Go read something infinitely better in the middle grade paranormal arena like Anya's Ghost and don't waste your time.

I picked this up as a joke, like, hey, Goosebumps! Nostalgia factor! And that title - I mean, you can't get any more dramatic than

AND

DIE!

So I was like, ha, this will be a total goof I can read to waste the time. And then I got legitimately and unexpectedly into it, and now I'm mad because my library is missing the next one in the series, and also it's a kids disposable spoopy comic, so why am I even committed to reading the next one? But I am. I so am.
