In case of zombie apocalypse
Hey, guys! I feel like I should say this just in case :)
If you'd like to sponsor a fellow book addict who sometimes can't sleep at night worrying that she won't have enough books to read if internet goes down in the event of zombie apocalypse (I'm convinced it's one of the top five ways to go for human race) you can donate through Paypal to olivesandacorns at gmail dot com or buy a book through any of the links provided with my reviews which will send me a small percentage from the sale. All proceeds will go towards my enormous TBR. I will also shelter you on the remote farm in Portugal when zombie apocalypse starts provided you survive getting there. There will be books, yay?
Thank you! Love you all

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 222 Newer› Newest»My greatest fear as a child was bees and wasps. I was sitting on a riverbank and put my elbow down on the grass and I got stung twice. This scared the beejeezus out of me. I could never be in the same room as a bee or a wasp otherwise I'd freak.
Great book choice by the way :D

My greatest fear as a child was this scary witch on a children's TV program back in 1960 - I think she was called Swamp Witch Hattie? Brrr.

One of my greatest fears as a child was the witches of Wizard Of Oz. Especially when The wicked witch of the East got crushed by Dorothy's house, I still have nightmares about that.

I am with you on this one.
I was terrified of the dark especially if I was alone.
With a vivid imagination I just knew there was all kinds of scary things in every shadow and under every bit of furniture.
Luckily I got over this when in my teens.
Thanks for the giveaway.

Hmmm ... I don't really remember having been afraid of anything! Wait! I used to be one of those kids who watched horror movies on VHS on foggy afternoons while her parents weren't home yet and then call Mom to tell her the film was sooo scary (Mom would say "The turn it OFF!")

1st of all I wanna say that your blog design surely looks creepy :p
Well my fear when I was a child was similar to yours... just that I use to develop it...dunno for what reasons...since childhood only I had the habit of checking out horror flicks or check out haunted stories on channels..and after that when I use to sleep and get up in the middle of the night, all those stories use to come in my mind.. as if somebody is standing besides me.. spooky eyes staring at me.. a shadow running past me and stuff like that.It was gay but it was fun ^_^
Well now for your awesome gruesome giveaway :p

HummmI would say probably my closet. I would have to check it 3 or 4 times just to make sure nothing was in it, and then I'd run back and jump in my bed under the covers.

When I was a kid, I was the one reading Scary Stories by Alvin Schwartz, and scaring all my friends at slumber parties by retelling them. I was basically fearless, except for one thing:
Spiders.
UGH. I hated and still hate spiders, with their creepy eight legs (who needs eight legs, anyway), and the way they scuttle across the ground and hide when you turn the lights on, and okay that's enough. I'm giving myself the creeps.
Thank you for hosting this giveaway.

When I was a child I owned a very fancy antique mirror that was carved so that it looked like it had eyes in the mirror frame. I use to have nightmares that the eyes would glow red and that there was an evil spirit in the mirror that wanted to come out, kidnap me, put me in the mirror and take my place.

Kathy, wow! I couldn't resist and commented. That was kind of awesome. Very powerful imagination :)
I had a totally random fear as a kid - that all the bridges in the world would fall down at exactly the same time - usually while I was on one! I used to plan how I would get to school avoiding bridges and think they would stay up if I held my breath while on one...really bizarre I know!

When I was little I was terrified that Freddy Kruger would get me. My parents were watching it one night and I snuck down and watched a little bit and will never forget how scared I was!! I was terrified he was coming to get me because I snuck down. It was hell to get to sleep for 2 years. I still cant watch those movies.

My greatest fear was a draw between Ventriloquist Dolls (still hate them today) and being locked in the toilet (probably because that actually happened to me, I got locked in my grandparents toilet - took my mum and grandad 4 hours talking to me through the door to get it open again).

I was convinced there was a madman who lived in the crawl space in our attic area. The way you accessed the attic area was at the top of my bedroom closet. I was sure that I was going to murdered in my sleep by this madman, so I made my parents install a lock on the outside of my closet door or I wouldn't sleep in there.

Some really nice book choices there! It just so happens that I'm currently reading The Reapers Are Angels. Enjoying it so far!
As a child I was petrified of spiders. I broke my arm because of one before I'd even turned 2 and ever since they've scared me. I can control my fear better now, but when I was young just the sight of a large spider was enough to send my into hysterics!

Most scary thing that ever happened to me was when I was 7 or so and sleeping next to an outside wall. One night I was half-asleep when I felt a hand touch my neck, seemingly coming from through the wall. It turned out to be my own hand but I was SO scared!

My greatest fear as a child was and still is by the way; BEES! I was stung while playing in the pool and got so swollen that I had trouble breathing. I had to be rushed to the hospital because it turned out I was and still am allergic to bee stings. I freak out any time a bee comes near me. I had a accident in the car because a bee came in the window while I was driving. I hit a parked car. Fortunately, I was stepping on the brake and didn't do too much damage to that parked car. The owner didn't even get my info because he was so busy laughing when I told him I was sorry for hitting his car, but I was trying to avoid the bee that came in my car. <^_^>
Thank you for being part of the hop.

Oh, I was always afraid of the boogeyman under the bed. I used to stand in the doorway, turn off the light switch, and take a flying leap to the bed so he couldn't grab my ankles! I convinced my parents to install a hanging lamp over my bed so I could just turn off the switch while safely tucked in bed :)

Thanks so much! ;)
Honestly, I can't really remember having any real fears when I was a child. I wasn't one of those kids that were afraid of the dark, or what was under the bed, or lurking in a closet. I did have cousins that were terrified to sleep in my room whenever they spent the night, because I had porcelain dolls all over my room. So you could see the shapes of them all around you when the moon shone through my window lol. But I felt safe with them there. Not for lack of imagination, as I had a great imagination when I played. But I used to watch scary movies a lot when I was a little girl. I liked them. Still do. So I think that's why those kinds of things didn't bother me lol.
I have a fear of spiders now, and most any creepy crawlies lol. That was something that didn't bother me when I was a kid either though. I used to play around with them.
The only real thing I could think of that maybe scared me(and I would constantly dwell on and obsess over) was my grandmother's (and her daughter, my aunt's) constant religious ramblings. She'd frequently remind me that I was now old enough to burn in hell (not the words she would use of course lol, but basically what she meant)for my sins. And talk about the devil, the anti-christ, judgement day, etc. She didn't like that I participated in Halloween activities, the books I read with questionable (to her) content, and movies/cartoons/video games I watched/played involving magic, the paranormal, and anything that wasn't happy rainbows and pink fluffy bunnies. I think she thought she could scare me into living a "good Christian" life. So I constantly had all that floating around in the back of my mind. I'm over it now though. And I don't think I was such a bad person then, or even now that I contantly needed to hear all that. Anyways, that's probably really the only thing I was afraid of as a child.

I was and still am afraid of clowns. I think watching IT The Clown when I was like 6-7 yrs old probably ruined clowns for me... lol but I just can't get over it. This past weekend actually, my fiancee and I went to a Haunted House and sure enough, there were evil clowns!!! Scared the crap outta me for sure!!

My greatest fear as a child was the old 'monster under the bed'. Although, mine was highly based upon 'Gmork' from The Neverending Story, although my monster had glowing red eyes, not green eyes.
I refused to move from my bed until morning for fear that the monster under my bed would pull me under and proceed to eat me alive.

But I've never had the problems with being afraid of dark or creatures hiding in it.

My childhood fear (and my still my fear now) is the fear of falling. When I was a child, I used to have nightmares about being in a mall with my parents, when suddenly they go down this escalator. I don't follow them and stay at the top of the steps, watching them walk away. When they are a bit further, everything around me starts to crumble away, the escalator, the floor, the walls and ceiling. Next thing I know, I'm falling and then I wake up. Even now, I'm not good with heights because I feel like I might topple over the edge or things might come crumbling down.

When I was younger, my biggest fears were dolls (specifically puppets) and mummies. Hated puppets because I didn't like how they always seem to stare at you and I had a fear that they could talk without humans. I hated mummies because I watched an episode of Reading Rainbow and it was about mummies and how they became mummies and I was done for. They showed some and I just couldn't take it. I am still a little freaked out by them if I am being honest LOL! Great giveaway hon, thank you :)
