  17. Welcome to the BCF Book Awards 2016! (I know Ben has already started a favourite books thread, but I still want to post this one that we traditionally do every year because it breaks our favourites down into categories. ) So go on! Tell us your favourites! Favourite read? Favourite author? Most read author? Favourite book cover? Book you abandoned (if there was more than one, the one you read least of)? Book that most disappointed you? Funniest book? Favourite literary character? Favourite children's book? Favourite classic? Favourite non-fiction book? Favourite biography? Favourite collection of short stories? Favourite poetry collection? Favourite illustrated book? Favourite publisher? Favourite audiobook? Favourite re-read?
  18. Beautiful mugs! The handles are gorgeous too. I hope you're having a great pre-birthday and that you have a great birthday too.
  19. Ooooh! What a wonderful and exciting surprise to see your book thread up already!! I had to come straight to the end and post about my happiness, but now I'll go back up and actually read it so I can make some comments later. I hope you have a better and totally awesome reading year in 2017!
  20. I thought her diary was extraordinarily well written for such a young person.
  21. I generally only request books that I plan to keep and treasure. In recent years, I've been more likely to request special hardback editions of favourites, such as annotated editions or anniversary editions. They're usually books that are a bit more expensive than I would pay for myself (but still affordable for others ). I've bought a small stack of books for my mum and my brother's partner.
  22. I'm planning to rewatch Home Alone in the next week or two. I don't think I've seen it since the mid 90s! It will be interesting to revisit it.
  23. What books are you looking forward to being published in 2017? Have you heard about any releases that other members might be interested in? I'm looking forward to the big lists posted on the major book news sites (usually early in the new year), but in the meantime I've found info about a couple of other books. I haven't read Claire Fuller's first book, but I found out that her second book, Swimming Lessons, will be published on 26 January. Also, for those of us still sticking with MRC Kasasian's Gower Street Detective series, the fifth book in the series, Dark Dawn Over Steep House, will be published on 1 June. I still haven't read the fourth one yet, but I intend to.
  24. It doesn't matter what order the books are read in, as they all contain different characters and stories. That said, there are a few sequel types (like Night of the Living Dummy II). They should probably be read in order, although I can't remember for sure whether the characters are the same. As for the different series, I can't really answer that because I only read the original series. Perhaps he could start with those if they're easily available? I hope Robbie enjoys them! My friend's son read them around the same age and he loved them. I still have all of my Goosebumps books (about 30 or so, I think) all of these years later. They're awesome.
  25. I had a terrible reading month in November. I didn't finish a single book. To try and dig myself out of my slump (and catch up on my Goodreads challenge), I've started an Agatha Christie book, Mrs McGinty's Dead. I've chosen this because it was alluded to several times in a play I recently stage managed (actually, it was the movie version, Murder Most Foul, that was referenced).
