Choose Your Own Adventure books

Do you remember these amazing books we read when we were little kids? Are they still read by nowadays kids? Some of them were enthralling beyond measure and made you feel like reading and devouring one after another! My favourite ones were The Mystery of the Highland Crest, Vampire Express and The Mystery of Chimney Rock. Those books made me spend entire nights unable to doze off! Favourite ones? Comments?

The only ones I remember reading were the Goosebumps ones. I was really bad apparently, I was always dying haha

They were so good 'cos it felt like you were the one who wrote the story! I must admit I still ream them every now and again hehehe

Yeah, I used to have a few of the Goosebumps ones too...couldn't remember which ones for the life of me.

I'd pretty much just always cheat and skip to the end with those books. I was cheap like that.

Same, I would always cheat with those books when I was in primary school. Then be sorely disappointed, because they were usually utter rubbish with awful story lines.

I used to read a lot of Enid Blyton as a kid... good times.

Wait a min. Goosebumps had choose your own adventures? Why did I not know this?

I never cheated well once or two but I usually just went to the end with them then chucked the book aside and got another one. I didn't care to always have a happy ending.

Yeah in the event of me dying I would usually go back to that last page and see things out differently. I just meant that my initial decision generally lead me to my doom haha :p

Well, anything goes when it's about these kinds of books! But I was very strict and didn't allow myself to cheat: on the contrary, I made myself read what I'd already read all over again until I reached different choices. Those books were supreme and I've lost some of them! I'd give anything to get them back! Anyway, there's so much to get hooked on.
