I had a break for a few (2) days because I couldn't choose which new book to start.

But my husband chose this one for me so it's only right I give it a read.

It better be good or I'm divorcing him.

Apparently this is book 3.5. Not 4. I am mistaken!

So... book 3.5 didn't take long. It was a lovely pallet cleanser after the heaviness of book 3.

Now onto book 4... I'm not sure I'm ready for the series to end (for now).

Book 4.

I'm honestly so happy with my Night Court edition versions of these books too. Aesthetically pleasing to my eye ๐Ÿ˜‚

Michael Rosen.

I didn't discover him until later on when I had my son (except for We're Going on a Bear Hunt).

However, his poems are a staple in my classroom :)

Time for book 3!

I think I'm a tad obsessed.

My parents would buy me the Guinness Book of World Records every year.

Hands down the best non-fiction books I ever owned ๐Ÿ˜‚

The author who caught my attention - and that I remember vividly is Michelle Paver.

I remember picking up Wolf Brother when I was 12, based on the cover (I know, I know) and was hooked. Her stories stuck with me. I'm thinking I'll have to dig the books out again for my son...

I think its because I was a slower reader. I was a brilliant reader, but my undiagnosed neuro-spicy led me to read the same page about 4 times before I could move on to the next ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ she mistook that as "difficulty reading".

02.11.2025 15:55 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yes! More spite-fueled reading! ๐Ÿ˜‚

The magic of Narnia is a wonderful thing for a child! I'm glad you love it too ๐Ÿ˜Š

Spite is what fuels most decisions i. Life ๐Ÿ˜‚
I think its ridiculous. I never tell my pupils that books are too hard for them - only that if they find it tricky, come back to it later or ask for help in reading it. They should be allowed to access whatever books they can. (Relative to age of course).

Tough one because there are so many.

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. A teacher told me at 7/8, "you shouldn't be reading that book. It's too hard for you." So naturally I read it out of spite. I loved the thought that an ordinary person could become part of the extraordinary.

Terry Pratchett is still - and probably always will be - my favourite author! His world is so wonderful, funny, creative and so easy to get lost in. There truly hasn't been anyone else like him.

Hello, I am Fran.

I fell in love with reading when I was a small child. My dad introduced me to the magic of Narnia, The Hobbit and then the late, great, Terry Pratchett.

I find it preferable to live in a fantasy world than the real one.

Tonight's new book. I smashed the first two in 4 nights. Safe to say I love this series.

Let's see what Evie and The Villain get up to this time...

Me and Misty have just finished reading this book (I covered her eyes at certain parts ๐Ÿ‘€)

It was delightful. Full of twists and turns and beautiful imagery. I look forward to reading the next one.

When I read, I hear my own voice reading the words in my head.

I've just found out that not everybody does this.

Then I went down a rabbit hole of trying to find studies about internal monologues.

Now I have even more questions and no answers.

My inner Fran is not satisfied.

In the space of 2 weeks I've finished Wisteria by Adalyn Grace and Phantasma and Enchantra by Kaylie Smith and now I feel empty inside.

I need more books.
