I remember that tunnel bit so clearly from my childhood reading, and it still gives me the horrors, but I had no memory of which book it was from -- as soon as it was mentioned I went OH YEAH, IT'S THAT ONE ISN'T IT.

2021-11-04 18:15:03 +0000 UTCI don't even read horror, and I loved this! Clearly we need a podcast just about children's books. This children's librarian would be happy to help.

2021-10-29 16:09:54 +0000 UTCThis was so enjoyable, and since the Feed series by Mira Grant was mentioned, I'd like to shout out Into the Drowning Deep by the same author. It's incredibly realistic killer mermaids and it's *amazing*. (I yell about it every chance I get because I loved it so much)

2021-10-28 22:51:45 +0000 UTCthis was so great! I was brought back to so many memories of books I loved. Have you all thought of compiling a list of the books discussed in this episode? there were a bunch i would love to check out

2021-10-28 22:24:15 +0000 UTCThis was a wonderful ride through my childhood book reading (especially the Owl Service and the Dark is Rising). Helen has reminded me of crawling through the West Mine in Alderley Edge in Cheshire which the Earldelving in Weirdstone is based on. I am tall and it was very tight!
