These were found in an op-shop :) I find so many diamonds in op shops! There's this book - The Secret Life of Lazslo, Count Dracula written by Roderick Anscombe - I originally found that in an op shop and it's been one of my favourites ever since. (And another I would recommend to anybody!) Another favourite series is Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar Saga, though I really struggled through the very first chapter of Magician - it's the first chapter of the first book, and I'm glad I forced myself through it. My largest collection was of Stephen King, but I need to reacquire those.
Thanks for reading the giant wall of babbles! :D
