There's something for everybody

He does like reading Muf..   cos the three series I mentioned earlier (Goal, Jamie Johnson Series & Football Academy series) .. he couldn't put them down.  

James Herbert & Stephen King..   I know he's not ready for them.    Anything that is too descriptive and he will just turn off.      Maybe in a few years.

(also..   I know from when my Sookie Stackhouse audio books have been playing in the car..  he is still at an age (just) where any sexy talk is just gross ...  or so he tells me. - with an "arggghhh Mum... turn this off!")

Oooh.. just seen your Fanfiction link!


I might have been a bit blonde here..    daughter is an avid reader of fan fictions (Harry Potter ones) ... it never occurred to me to look for stuff about different subjects!

Fanfiction is brilliant cos if the storyline is different to how you imagine it then...write your own

On games, I know that Halo, Mass Effect and gods of war have serial novels that you can get in Waterstones

My kids all loved The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Another favourite was -

I was reading at a very early age. I'd read most of the Famous Five books before I started infants' school. Reading is such a joy and very good for developing the mind.

Even now, I read at least two books at once. Obviously I get bored easily

It's a talent, PC! 

You promised you'd never post my pic!!!                  

I LOVE that book! I used to read it as a kid You can get all sorts of merchandise for it now too

Where do you get the F1 ones? We haven't been able to find any for the last couple of years

That's what prompted me to buy it in the first place. my mum bought the game at a car boot last week - I decided to get the book before we played it as it wouldn't have made an awful lot of sense. I'm looking after him tomorrow so we'll give the game a go 

I wanna play the game! I saw a little cutlery set, in tescos I think, and wished I could buy it but I'm all grown up (physically anyway) now..

One eye looking at ya, one eye looking for ya.

It's children's classic.I worked in public libraries for years and it was always the most popular book for little 'uns.

My own personal favorite author as a child was Michael Bond who wrote the Paddington Bear" books. Along with Enid Byltons "Naughtiest Girl" books and the Magic Faraway Tree.

My nieces faves were Dr Suess (particularly The Sneetches and the Two Zax).  Another book that appealed to their lavatorial humour was The Story of the Little Mole who knew it was none of his business.

The Jolly Postman was one of my favourite books as a kid. It has now been passed down to my 5 year old niece and she loves it too  

My nieces loved that one too.  They loved getting the letters out of the pockets on each page.

I still can't believe after 20 odd years our copy of The Jolly Postman still has all the letters in the pockets and all in great condition too.

You've obviously got very neat kids.

That's a great book too SB

Soozy, it's one of my faves and all the kids love it too. 

My kids all loved it...my oldest knew it off by heart by the time he was about 2.

This was another big favourite...
