When I was a kid/teenager (back in the '90s), I had a complete collection of Goosebumps books. They were my prize possession.

One day, my mom packed them up and mailed them to my baby cousin for his birthday, because "You've already read them all! Let your cousin enjoy them now!"

I never saw them again. I asked my cousin about it years later and he had no memory of ever receiving a Goosebumps book collection.

I just re-bought the whole collection on eBay recently, so there was eventually a happy ending. I'm currently re-reading the series.

OMG those books are quite literally all I had. I guess I did check most of them out from the library but the few I had I treasured. My mom always threw out or gave away my stuff. If she had taken those books I would have lost the will to live. I'm so sorry that happened to you. Little kid me wants to give little kid you a hug.
