A lot of the books I currently read are Buffy/Angel, The X Files, James Bond and Star Wars stories. Either adapted from episodes/movies, or set in between and after.

Roald Dahl rocks!!!!!! I read those books in my late childhood and adored them. He was a pretty good poet, too. Plus, his books tought me that there is more than just one way to spell a word. Before that I had no idea that English English (as opposed to American English) existed. He set me straight.
I also absolutely loved Quentin Blake's illustrations
I agree. They did add a lot.

THANK YOU!! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

BTW, I cried when QL was cancelled too. And the way it ended was horrible. But I have all the eps on tape if you ever want copies. Let me know!
