I found his books in the regular section of the bookstore... but yeah, I read them around 14-15.<br /><br />I quite liked his books... despite the fact that I would get sent to the councillor's office when caught reading them at school. Definitely not appropriate reading 1000th.monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835988128285459745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-77111135453479300232012-03-23T14:45:40.378-07:002012-03-23T14:45:40.378-07:00Okay, I better pop over to your site and check out...Okay, I better pop over to your site and check out the blurb :)1000th.monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835988128285459745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-45561461298622141762012-03-23T14:44:57.617-07:002012-03-23T14:44:57.617-07:00Since I've read Miss Peregrine, The Book Thief...Since I've read Miss Peregrine, The Book Thief & Room already (all very good, though I kept getting thrown out by Death's voice in The Book Thief) and liked them all, I'm pretty sure I will enjoy your recommendations!<br /><br />Thank you, Jo!1000th.monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835988128285459745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-85239656764337764642012-03-23T14:43:02.343-07:002012-03-23T14:43:02.343-07:00I'll have to check that out, thanks!I'll have to check that out, thanks!1000th.monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835988128285459745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-5694751400686261152012-03-18T06:21:20.769-07:002012-03-18T06:21:20.769-07:00I just had to comment and say thank you for mentio...I just had to comment and say thank you for mentioning John Saul. I've mentioned him a few times and nobody ever seems to know who I'm talking about. I swear that guy was the first to write YA horror. I still have a few of his books somewhere that i was hoping to get my girls into. Sadly, they seemed to have skipped straight to the 'hard' horror stuff :-(Sarah Tokeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273148070092101085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-67000330978841765502012-03-14T15:36:55.022-07:002012-03-14T15:36:55.022-07:00You'd like my paranormal fantasy, which some s...You'd like my paranormal fantasy, which some say boarders on historical fiction.
