I actually read the Fear Street books more, but stopped after I started getting nightmares. I think it was the one where a teen believed dead after a shark attack comes back unrecognizable to stalk and kill his former friends.<br /><br />I took a long break from book blogs, but it's nice to be visiting yours again.

I can't say I was thrilled but I took the view that so long as they were reading they would get to the better stuff sooner or later - which they have although my son is really only a holiday reader.<br />The Goosebumps craze seemed to pass the two younger ones (21 and 19) by but I am guessing that we are about due for a revival - I'm sure I saw some copies lurking the last time I was in a mainstream bookshop!<br />The 1001 Books book looks interesting (I am guessing Memoirs of a Geisha is one of the recommended reads - or is the cover totally misleading?)and if it comes my way I will look at it although I don't need any more encouragement to acquire books as I have hundreds of unread ones on my shelves. Which is the reason why I am very unlikely to be doing any re-reading any time soon!LizFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-80224797928156078482012-12-08T22:50:20.780+00:002012-12-08T22:50:20.780+00:00I'm afraid I missed out on the Goosebumps - I ...I'm afraid I missed out on the Goosebumps - I was aware of them, but I think I was in the days of several small children. (That season where I briefly enjoyed sleep above all other pursuits. :) ) I like the idea of a month of rereading, but it does tend to make me crazy to ignore the TBR shelves.

I swear those books bred of their own accord and were aiming to take over the entire house.<br /><br />Christine Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814026435889782750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-75201793845012096512012-12-08T00:09:13.909+00:002012-12-08T00:09:13.909+00:00Allow me to pre-empt Dad's comment about spend...Allow me to pre-empt Dad's comment about spending hours on Goosebumps sites before you've finished your thesis.Colinhttp://www.colinjthomas.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
