Also, each chapter can be read on its own, so you can just jump in anywhere and see if it is something that interests you and then start at the beginning if you want. Stiff is definitely my favorite of all of her books that I have read so far, but I have heard good things about all of them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10683814336132017546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131544436877841249.post-46094281441528294892013-10-25T00:47:38.856-04:002013-10-25T00:47:38.856-04:00Thanks.

I think I'll grab them for my shelf just in case. Your review makes me fairly sure that I want to read them both.

I don't remember what it was called but there were episodes on spontaneous human combustion, the Loch Ness monster, and Big Foot to name a few.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10683814336132017546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131544436877841249.post-16127643149069148902013-10-24T15:44:43.644-04:002013-10-24T15:44:43.644-04:00My son would love these books, Now you have me goi...My son would love these books, Now you have me going to research this author and all of her titles,.
