Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I adore Ray Bradbury. I've read many of his books and stories but never even heard of the one you mentioned. I'll look for it soon.

Prep was okay.. I didn't quite understand the purpose or the reasoning behind the storyline because it felt like Lee didn't grow as a character as the story progresses and ends. I wouldn't really recommend because I like when characters grow, evolve or learn something about themselves.

I'm gonna try out The Ocean At The End Of The Lane. :)

A couple of these sound really good

Gotta try them out

Hahha read Dracula one winter brilliant but scary. I will recommend it though great post

Holly, thank you for including Ray Bradbury as a first choice. One of the best storytellers ever, although sometimes forgotten.

I've read all the classics: Frankenstein, Dracula, the strange case of Dr Jekyll and mr Hyde. But I'm so down to read them again on a nice autumn night 😄

Yass! :)
