  1. Haha, that's amazing, I remember he was doing a book signing at my local Waterstones and at the time it was only my little brother who liked his books (I hadn't actually read them at this point) so I said I'd take him to see him but it was on the condition that he had to behave himself all week or I wouldn't take him and unfortunately he didn't behave himself or whatever reason we didn't go (I can't actually remember why we didn't go, it was a few years back now). Kinda gutted I didn't go now, having read his books
  2. Yes! The Goosebumps show was awesome when I was a kid, it was one of those when everyone used to come to school the next day and talk about it! I haven't thought about Sweet Valley High in yeeeeears!!! But yes, this is for another thread. I'm trying to remember some of the names of other Point Horror books, I read so many I should be able to remember a few but all I can remember at the moment is how The Babysitter ones were really good and put me off babysitting
  3. Oh wow! I used to love these books when I was younger, there was loads of them in the school library, I used to loan them out and sit in my room at night to read them. They were great, dunno if I'd feel the same about them now but this thread had definitely made me want to read a couple again! I remember the babysitter ones were really good and the Point Horror Unleased were amazing I tried these as well, they weren't nearly as good but then I'm not a big romance novel person really This thread had also made me think of Goosebumps They were good fun too!
  4. Like everyone else has siad, it does get much better! For me it didn't take too long to get into it but I know a few people who read 100 or so pages before they got into. By the end I literally couldn't put it down and read the last quater or so in one sitting as I was so immersed in it. Carry on and break through that barrier As for myself I'm on book three of The Saga of Larten Crepsley, I've started a new, very time consuming job recently so I've had hardly any time to read but I'm going to try my best on the weekends and the nights I'm not too worn out
  5. I know what you mean, for me it was the Harry Potter series that will always have a space in my heart, even though I'm older I have realised a fair few flaws and don't rate Rowling writing as highly as I used to. I haven't read the Demonata yet. My boyfriend owns, I think all of Darren Shan's books so I just steal them from him but I think I might leave it a bit til I read those as I like to have a variety of books to read but they're definitly on my list The Saga of Larten Crepsley, is kinda just a breif overview of his life rather than an full on story like The Saga of Darren Shan it just kinda highlights main events but it's still lovely as it shows the origins of other characters as well as Larten, it does make me kinda sad reading about Larten's life considering the events that occur in The Saga of Darren Shan but it's lovely to kinda reminisce a bit as I grew so fond of most of the characters in the series.
  6. Finished Mogworld by Yahtzee Crowshaw, working my way through The Saga of Larten Crepsley by Darren Shan
  7. I am so looking forward to these films I'm okay with two films but three? Hopefully Jackson will do it right though, I loved Lord of the Rings so much! I will have to read the book beforehand though, it's been years since I've read it
  8. Hello and welcome I recently finished reading The Saga of Darren Shan. I absolutely loved it! I felt so attached to all the characters and loved every page of it! I even reviewed them on my blog (link below) and on my reading log page on this site. I'm currently reading The Saga of Larten Crepsley which (as you can probably guess) is a prequal to The Saga of Darren Shan. I look forward to hearing more of your views on Darren Shan's series (and any other books you've read).
  9. I'm glad you're enjoying it like you it was the first book that's ever really scared me I pretty much agree with everything you said above. It's one of my favourite classics, it's so well wriiten and put together. I've only read it twice so far and I enjoyed it even more on the second read through I plan to read it again at some point as I love it so much. You're only half way through? You have so much to look forward to with the second half

    Aw that's a shame but I think you're right, they were a one of a kind team, won't be another for a while

    Cricket

    As an England fan, I'm sad to say I miss those days too. It was back when I first got seriously into cricket, when those Australian greats were playing against us in the Ashes. It was so exciting to watch and so tense. I remember there always being fear and anticipation when we (or anyone) faced Australia as such great players were playing fantastically. I miss that but I'm sure there's plenty of great new talent coming from Australia (I haven't had the time to keep a proper track of things yet).
  12. Hmmm, I've never read a self help book as such but I have a little book about ways to stay calm and chilled (someone obviously thought I needed it). I've found it useful at times just for hints and tips but I can imainge well written and sensible self help books can help some people it all depends on the type of person you are I suppose
