You had awesome taste in childhood reads ;) I also read The Hobbit when I was pretty young (11 or 12 I think) and had a bit of an R.L Stine phase as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786594091195860484.post-84307590592294750432011-12-07T13:47:28.829+10:002011-12-07T13:47:28.829+10:00It's really kind of true.

Or it would be like Escape to Witch Mountain...except we'd be evil.<br /><br />And now I really want to read Escape to Witch Mountain.

She'll definitely be the first author I introduce my kids too.<br /><br />@Kat, I used to love collecting the special edition covers which had the holographic pictures, I had one which was called something like 'Attack of the Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich'. It was brilliant!<br /><br />@Laura, Ventriloquist dummies still creep me out. Those were the books, more than any other in the series, that freaked me the hell out! <br /><br />@Kelly, that's definitely the best thing about Mr Dahl. His books are so wonderful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09259549933849264277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786594091195860484.post-55793426839068513112011-12-07T09:19:13.729+10:002011-12-07T09:19:13.729+10:00Love love love Roald Dahl!!
