Vimes Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 One of those golden compass books? Sorry don't know the authors name Quote
frankie Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 British YA supernatural-involved novel, written by a man, read by many people on here, but not frankie. C'mon people what can it be?! Quote
Chrissy Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Jasper Fforde's 'The Last Dragonslayer' ? Quote
chaliepud Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Nope. Careful with the supernatural theme, I may have thrown you off track with that.. It's a tricky one, maybe time travel would be more accurate? It's not an easy book to pigeon hole! I think you'll understand when all is revealed! Quote
Athena Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I've never liked circuses x Me either . I'm not sure what the book could be, though it sounds intruiging! Quote
poppyshake Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 British YA male author .. with supernaturalish elements to the story ... hmmm .. Neil Gaiman? Not sure if he has done anything time travelyish Quote
poppyshake Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 This is what's giving me grief: And if someone does get hurt, well, they're back right as rain the next day and don't remember nothing about it. Ahh I see .. that's the time travelling element is it? and I should know it ... need to go study my Goodreads books Quote
frankie Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 x Me either . I'm happy I'm not alone, it's not often you come across another person who doesn't like circuses Are we about to crack it now? Well, not, we, but some... Off topic, but I love that idiom: 'right as rain'. Quote
chaliepud Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Nope not Neil Gaiman.. Not nearly so prolific an author.. Quote

Janet Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I don't like circuses either (well, the idea of them anyway - I've never actually been to one), but I loved The Night Circus! Chalie - is it a modern book or a vintage one? Quote
poppyshake Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I'm happy I'm not alone, it's not often you come across another person who doesn't like circuses I don't like them either and neither does Janet but we both loved The Night Circus .. this is more of a magical circus Hmm ... not as prolific as Neil Gaiman? .. Jonathan Stroud?? Quote
chaliepud Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Less prolific than Mr Stroud even! Book more modern but does go back to older times (but not toooo old!) Quote

Well, not, we, but some... Off topic, but I love that idiom: 'right as rain'. x ! I'm glad to hear people enjoyed The Night Circus despite not liking circusses! That's very promising . Quote
Janet Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Janet and me were thinking alike You've picked a real stinker here, Chalie! Do you know if I've read it? (Sorry, how would you know that unless you've memorised all my posts?! ). Quote
chaliepud Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I just looked at your book list on here Janet and I don't think so. I'm surprised it is so tricky.. Shall I pop another quote on? Quote
frankie Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 Maybe a quote or some kind of a clue... This is getting interesting! Quote
