@Cleoriff I only know James and the Giant Peach out of those two ... I mainly remember Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Danny Champion of the World has been mentioned twice now on this thread, I feel like I've missed a classic sweat_smile

 

@Anonymous There's no rule when it comes to reading, one page at a time is all that counts hugging That Norse Gods book sounds lovely!

Yes they did @EmilieT. They had to add to them though, as one or two of the best loved ones went missing...

I pass them every day and they are beautiful, a wealth of information, they are a visual

I love seeing an overflowing bookshelf, @TallTrees smiling It looks like you've got a good mix of different genres going on, a bit of everything keeps the mind going! I just started Mythos by Stephen Fry myself, and looking into new cooking books to get for my collection.

 

Alright this poll ran for the whole of September, and I hope that during that month you all had some great reads smiley The results are now in! A whooping 53.33% of the votes went to thriller & Crime, so it seems to be a big favourite on the Community. Horror, Science-Fiction, Fantasy and Graphic novels followed a little further behind.

 

It was really interesting to see what you were all reading or had on your reading list, thanks for the inspiration! 📚

I heard that Dame Mary Poppins has a new memoir out so I’ve picked it up off eBay for a tenner. Looking forward to getting stuck in to that!
