Library Thing

Have just started to use Library Thing to generate some suggestions for reading on a topic. It's an interesting way of doing things that throws up a list of reader reviewed books. It's based on a wide ranging readership base but it's a new place to start. You can check it out at www.librarything.com/ and try your own searches.

It also provides you with the most revewed and top 25 books. Good to see that The Hunger Games is in there!

Read it Loved it

I came across this site today Read it! Loved it! and thought that it was useful.

Gives some ideas for what to read when you feel like picking up a book. The site has been designed for best use on an iphone/ipad.

Pratchett books

I have been catching up with my long forgotten list of Terry Prachett books recently - and reading them on my phone, which has been an interesting introduction to the world of ebooks.

Hace read and throughly enjoyed: Snuff, Unseen Academicals (who knew football could be such fun?) Going postal, Making money and the Firth Elephant.

London Olympics

The current display in the library is focused on the oylmpics and is matched up with some great reads on the games past and present, along with an excellent use of bunting on the board!

It's almost Christmas! It is the last week of term and the school is looking lovely!

Last week it was the Junior school Christmas Panto which was an absolute success. All the pupils had got their parts spot on and the little reception class didn't want to leave the stage.

The story was the Wizard of Oz and it was a classic.

This week there is the delight of Christmas dinners and the school Christmas Entertainment which is bound to raise a few smiles, and then a Carol service in the Priory which is a lovely way to round off the term.

I've finally finished this book!

It has taken me ages but I am pleased to say, that this week, I finally turned the last page...and it was a great book. Although the last parts of the book are quite strange and it took me a while to figure out what was going on.

I would like to see what happened to Pi after his ordeal/adventure just to see how he came to terms with hius life after the loss of his family and livelyhood.

Anyway, try the book and stick with it.
