Hello all, I guess this is what the forum is for. The meeting point for all Bellairs fans. I am just wondering if you guys have this feeling. Let me share with...
Hi all; ... I've felt this way at the library, tho that might just be self-consciousness on my part... no one's ever outright stared, and if they ever do, I'll...
Hey there, Two posts one after the other after a period of quiet (but then, I have just signed up myself a month ago). I'm 26, and I never felt awkward buying...
hullo, i know how you feel. whenever i go to the library or book store i always do the "spy roll and hide behind the pillar" move, lol. now i just waltz into...
... Yeah, I am 29 and John Bellairs is still my favorite author, along with another children's author, Zilpha Keatley Snyder (and Tolkien of course) so I can...
Greetings to the other Bellairs fans in this group! I bought "The House With A Clock In Its Walls" at a book fair when I was in the 4th grade. It was...
Melanie, Hi, I just joined this group yesterday and posted my own "Introductory type thing" just now. How cool that you live close enough to see some of the...
Greetings Rob, What a nice message. Thank you for posting it. That's got to be one of my biggest regrets—not having read John when I was younger. I've...
Hi all; (I don't know if Rob meant for that to go to the whole list, but I'm replying to. :) It's only by sheer luck I live near Petoskey, where Letter, Ring...
Hey everybody, Thanks to those of you who were kind enough to say Hi and welcome a newbie to the group. I'm reading "The Letter, The Witch, and the Ring"...
I really like "The Spectre From The Magician's Museum." Call me an old-style romantic, but I like how Lewis has to save Rose Rita... Plus there's the whole...
Hi again; ... I admit I haven't yet been able to read (or even find) *all* of Bellairs books. But of the ones I have read, I always kind of liked Doom of the ...
Brrr! Yeah, that was pretty dang creepy, that familiar that tried to deface Fergie (literally). Well, another scene that freaked me out was in "Chessmen of...
Yeah, Chessmen of Doom was pretty eerie. I love all the Johnny Dixon ones best. The Mummy the Will and the Crypt is really creepy when they find the body of...

Hi--Who goes there? Does any one know if Brad Strickland is writing any new 'Bellairs'? How do you compare his writing and plots to the originals? I am glad he...
I believe that a new Lewis Barnavelt story is due out this summer, actually... "The Whistle, The Grave And The Ghost." I think Strickland does a great job of...
I myself have very limited interest in Strickland--I find his use of '50s culture to be too forced in a "Look! Here we are in the 50's!" way rather than the...
If one looks hard enough to find something wrong with something, one will invariably find it. Brad Strickland was never asked to replace Bellairs. Just to...
Hey, I'm just getting into James, so I haven't actually seen these references when I read Bellairs. Can you point out some of them? Thanks, Andrew ... SNIP! ...
