haha i don't blame you for that. i never read them as a kid but i started reading them a few years ago and am very slowly making my way through them. definitely good for when you need to get out of a slump

i'm reading an animorphs book right now [already checked the word count and it's long enough] and should be able to finish it later tonight unless someone else is already working on something
