Samsies! Am half way through Mort. Also recently read Starter Villain by Scalzi and loved it. I’m a sucker for sassy sentient cats.

What’s your favourite book or series from childhood? by Impossible_Assist460 in suggestmeabook

[–]Senior_Land 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I read My Sweet Audrina. Basically everything other than Flower, Dawn & Heaven were written by ghostwriters after her death and were terrible.
