Q: Hi,

Many, many years ago while I was in school, I remember reading a series of Goosebumps books. On certain pages, you could choose what happens. For example, "to go into the hall of mirrors, turn to page 45. To leave the fairground, turn to page 70' and so on.

I've been trying to find these again, but I'm not sure what to search. Is there a name for these types of books? Are there any books that aren't as childish as the Goosebumps series in a similar format? (I'm 20). Can you recommend any books of this format that you've enjoyed reading?

Thanks folks!
These books, which were a staple of my childhood reading, are called Choose Your Own Adventure books. Turns out (I had no idea) they do come in adult versions. Just do a search for "choose your own adventure books for adults" and there are tons to choose from in different genres.

Thank you! I'll have a look!

My Personal Forum

My name is Amanda and I'm 26 years old. I'm currently studying electrical engineering. Armed with a fairly odd sense of humour and a sunny outlook on life, I'll take on just about anything. I'm also cussedly stubborn, which has its ups and downs. Things get tough sometimes, and I've never been one to run from it.

In my last 8 years with Advicenators, I've gone from honours student to failing out of university (and getting back on top again!), from single to married, from tenant to homeowner.

Until lately, I have been struggling with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and OCD, which had basically ruined my life and taken just about everything from me. I'm thankful every day for every experience I've had because of this ordeal, because it's helped to make me who I am today. Things like that really make you appreciate what you do have. Now that I'm back in work and school and starting to become myself again, I couldn't be happier. I credit Advicenators with saving my life back when I was a teenager, which is a big part of why I'm still here.

I won't necessarily give you the answers you want to hear, but I'll always be honest and do my best to help.
