I wrote a Top 10 list today for the Guardian on the Top 10 "adult" books you should read before becoming an adult, and the response has been amazing!  Apparently, a lot of over-reaching young readers out there.  Brilliant stuff.

Also, a quick word to say that I'll be doing a public event at Eason's Bookstore in Dublin (one of my favourite places) on the evening of 12 May to celebrate the launch of A Monster Calls.  I'll share ticket info as soon as I have it!

Warm greetings to the new commenters, an especially wonderful batch, including warm recommendations about books I like (thanks, Ray!), your own iPod eps, and a cool website to check out.  Remember I'm on Twitter as @Patrick_Ness so follow me there, if you like.  More soon.
