err, what were they again? those Make Your Own Adventure books?

I remember having to choose a Lancia over an Audi Quattro to ride in some desert endurance race. I think we ended up crashing and dying of heat exposure as Lee Johnson took a left at Timbuktu.

Judy Blume books especially Forever, one of my classmates was American and had "open minded" parents, it must have became the most read book in our school....

The Hobbit - loved it so much I nicked it from school and there it sits on my bookshelf...
Peter and Jane of course
Meg and Mog
Bunties bumper annual!!!!
Tammy girl comics!
Z for zachariah (can read but can't spell!)
midsummer nights dream
The lion the witch and the wardrobe
Peter Rabbit
