This month I am reading

Nothing like sneaking in at the last moment, but I am joining in with Bron's This month I am reading... We have had a lot going on this month so not as much time for curling up with a book as usual but I did finally manage to finish Bleak House.


Originally published as a serial, Bleak House is a meandering tale full of interwoven characters and stories. I knew that if I stopped, I would have to start again at the beginning as there was no way I would keep track of all the characters and how they were linked. I think it took me about 6 weeks to read, but so worth persisting. Dickens at his best.

Needing a change of pace after Bleak House, I picked up Sophia's Secret. Don't be put off by the cover, it was a great read.



The big girl has started reading Kathryn Lasky's Guardians of Ga'Hoole series. Must be good. She is already up to book four.



The boy has been engrossed in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We finished the last chapter last night so will be starting Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator tonight.


The small girl is fascinated with a book called Zoo Poo at the moment. Enough said.
