Inspired by Maw, I thought I’d have a quick trawl through my stats and see if there were any interesting or amusing keywords and search terms that brought visitors to my site, this past month.

• about the setting in hugo cabret
  Paris, 1931. Brian Selznick’s own site is a fantastic resource.
• “it’s only half an hour since someone”
  Last visited this site? Made a cup of tea? Mentioned what a wonderful person you are? (and you most certainly are dear visitor!) or more likely the opening line to the fantastic, Tomorrow Series, by John Marsden.
• “kick arse books” 2009
  Is that a new publisher?
• are cherub books suitable
  Kitchen tables? No. Fish Tanks? No. Books for middle teens? Probably.
• awards of digital fortress novel
  Oh god, I hope not!
• bad library
  an empty one.
• best young adult book 2009
  It’s a little early for that, but in the UK at least I suspect The Hunger Games will feature strongly.
• buy d.j.machale
  I’m not sure you can, but you can certainly buy his books! For example, you can snap up the soon to be released, Soldiers of Halla, from: Amazon (UK) or Amazon (US)
• gothic novels set in WWI
  The Foreshadowing by Marcus Sedgwick is a fine example, you can see my thoughts on it, here.
• houses for a £1
  Look I know the economy is shot to pieces but, err wow you’re hopeful!
• i think john marsden’s tomorrow series should be made into movies
  You do? I think a good lavishly made mini-series might work better.
• james muchamore
  I suspect your looking for James Adams, star of the CHERUB books, by Robert Muchamore!
• main points in river boy- tim bowler
  Well, one of the main points, is to do the assignments your hardworking teachers give you, and, well, you know, like, actually read the book and then – this is the good bit – work these things out for yourself, which funnily enough is one of the reasons to read a book in the first place.
• parasites listed in peeps by scott westerfeld
  Skin crawlingly creepy ones mostly!
• summary of short stories
  Um… ones that aren’t long?
• tenth pendragon book cover
  It’s a cracker! And you can see it in my post, here.
• what is the name of cal’s cat in peeps
  Not a clue! Anybody else know? Nymeth, have you any ideas?
  ETA: Thanks Nymeth! Cal’s cat is called Cornelius.
• when is the book the brass key coming out
  It’s out, as is the sequel. You can read my review here.
• why didn’t suzi dougherty read the the ellie chronicles
  Well, she did read While I Live, but I concur whole heartedly! She is much more my Ellie than Mikaela Martin could ever be. Sadly I suspect it came down to availability and contractual reasons.
