When we've got a few suggestions, I'll put a poll together (or someone else can if they beat me to it) about what book to discuss next month. A lot of us are doing NaNoWriMo, so it's going to have to be something short and easy! Should we start off with PS/SS if we're doing a Potter book, or how about I brace myself and try a Lemony Snicket one again? What does everyone else think? Imogen

I'd like to do those as well, but in a month when I've really got the time to concentrate on them. November's going to be a little bit stretched methinks! Having said that I've only read the title book in the series, but enjoyed it very much! Imogen

I recommend Coraline by Neil Gaiman, its a children's book but it's wonderfully creepy! I think one review said that it was an adventure for children but a nightmare for adults. Plus it's just in time for Halloween and it's V short! Shimmer

How about Treasure Island? Although, whatever book sounds good with everyone will work for me!

It's a brilliant book and a very quick read. Massive thumbs up from me. It operates on a parallel universe idea of real live versus what seems to be ideal and actually isn't. Totally creepy! Plus Neil Gaiman is always worth reading. Shall I start a poll? Imogen
