  1. I hated "A Wrinkle in Time" too. You're definitely not alone in that. It was superlatively creepy.

    I'll have to read some of these books now. :)

  3. Oooooh what wonderful answers!

    I totally LOVED The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. One of my friends bought it for me a couple of birthdays ago and I read it in one sitting. The fact that he writes it through blinking. Incredible :)

    I'm glad you liked the article too. Yay! xxx
