Hi Folks. Apologies to anyone who was expecting #PrimaryRocks to be running tonight, but it won't be on now this term. Everything is alright, but something has to give and...

...unfortunately, it has to be our #PrimaryRocks edchat at this moment in time. I am OK, but I know that over the coming weeks, there are things that I will miss if I am not mindful so I need a hiatus.

Thanks for all your contributions over the years and I hope to be back soon.

I am not a massive fan but some of my children love books by those authors and if it means they read and enjoy it then why not. #PrimaryRocks

A3: I love reading a story to the kids (Year 5) but they are also at an age where I love to hear them read to the class as well so we often do that as well. #PrimaryRocks

A1: Not really my area of expertise this (not sure what is to be fair). A range of book styles from a range of authors, good quality texts and a mix of old and classic books. #PrimaryRocks

I prefer the later books but I haven't read these since I was 19!

I'm only about a sixth of the way in but so far it's really good, especially as the reader knows the fate but not how/why we get there ...

The Killer Across the Table looks good! I loved Mindhunter, gutted they cancelled it.

I have started back at the beginning of Terry Pratchett's Discworld. I have read The Colour of Magic and now onto The Light Fantastic. I was really sad when he died and I put off reading his last book because I knew that was going to be IT. So I've started from the beginning again! #PrimaryRocks

Yay for #PrimaryRocks I am loving reading at the moment and I am currently reading this book '59 Memory Lane' which is a beautiful story and a nice break from my usual Stephen King, Greg Horowitz or Freda McFadden. What are you current favourite adult reads?
