Well as a reward for getting 100% attendance at school in the passed academic year, I was given £25 vouchers to spend on whatever I wanted. So I bought:
Withering Tights by Louis Rennison
Betrayedby PC and Kristen Cast
Chosenby PC and Kristen Cast
Monarchy by David Starkey.
Yesterday I finished Innocent Traitor by Alison Weir, a read which took me just three days. It was very, very gripping. The reader feels incredibly sympathetic towards Lady Jane Grey, the protagonist, who endured a horrific childhood full of beatings and verbal abuse from her parents, for whom she was a mere polictical pawn. The story is told from the day Jane is born, right to the day she was beheaded after her reign of nine days.
I found this book incredible, extremely gripping. I would recommend it to anyone.
I am now reading Henryby David Starkey. I only started reading it this morning, and I must say already it's very, very good. I doubt it will last long
I must add to my "To Be Read": Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, and its sequel The Lost World- both of which I haven't read since I was twelve years old, which was three years ago now. If I remember correctly, I thoroughly enjoyed both of them
