Hi fire fox (love the name by the way!),

Nice to meet you! Just like you, I would also describe myself as an introvert and I also love reading books 🙂 Are there any books right now you are reading that you would recommend? I believe the best combination is reading a book in the garden 🙂 Two of my favourite things together!

Hi fire fox

welcome to the forums.

Dont worry about spelling I make so many typos.

I think I am a talkative introvert at times.

Hi Sarah z, nice to meet you, I love reading in the garden too 🙂 I actually just finished a book called 'the shiny guys' by Doug mcstaurt? one of the main themes is mental illness and fantasy 🙂 and I am starting a book called where the 'mountain meets the moon' which is a Chinese folktale fantasy book. I would also check out 'the humming room' which also covers mental illness (more autism) and horror.

Those book sounds terrific, I'll definitely check them out! I just finished Pachinko by Min Jin Lee, it's set in Korea/Japan and follows a family through the generations. It's probably one of my favourite books I've read this year. If you like historical fiction I also really recommend Beneath A Scarlet Sky by Mark T.Sullivan too 🙂 I love horror so 'the humming room' sounds right up my alley!

Introduction

fire_fox — Wed, 17 Jun 2020 08:31:11 GMT

will check these out 🙂 I love historical fiction

here's a blurb of the humming room:

Hiding is Roo Fanshaw's special skill. Living in a frighteningly unstable family, she often needs to disappear at a moment's notice. When her parents are murdered, it's her special hiding place under the trailer that saves her life.
As it turns out, Roo, much to her surprise, has a wealthy if eccentric uncle, who has agreed to take her into his home on Cough Rock Island. Once a tuberculosis sanitarium for children of the rich, the strange house is teeming with ghost stories and secrets. Roo doesn't believe in ghosts or fairy stories, but what are those eerie noises she keeps hearing? And who is that strange wild boy who lives on the river? People are lying to her, and Roo becomes determined to find the truth.
Despite the best efforts of her uncle's assistants, Roo discovers the house's hidden room--a garden with a tragic secret.
This tale full of unusual characters and mysterious secrets is a story that only Ellen Potter could write.

A very warm welcome fire fox. SO glad you're here.

You have some awesome interests and reading material!

Do you think any of the books you mentioned are okay for teenagers? or are they a bit too "old" for them.

Don't worry about spelling btw ;-))
