Reading:
Wilderness by Roddy Doyle


*Originally read in 2006 as library copies. Either that or it was the best read of 2006.

Not much yet, but I'm sure it will build up soon!

[Angel]

It's a good start though, all things considered with your homework etc!!:readingtwo:

[Louiseog]

I really like the Caroline Lawrence ones, I'm reading a Pompeii one can't remember the title and its at home.

[Janet]

I love the Princess Diary films - I bet the books are far better. :)

Sorry to go o/t, but how are you enjoying secondary school? My son is loving it. :)

[Tiger]

Hi Bagpuss!

Glad to hear that your son is enjoying it. I like it, but we get way too much homework sometimes. But yeah I like it. (Got two more level 6's by the way! One for science, one for maths!)

(Hey, drama was good today! A great laugh!)

And Louise, I like Caroline Lawrence as well! Shame, I've read three of the books and I read the one that was set in Pompeii a few months ago, and I too can't remember the title either! :roll:

[Liz]

I wouldn't worry about the amount of homework you're getting.
You will soon get used to it and it will not seem quite as much as originally did.

Hey, and nice going with the Maths and Science!

[Sugar]

And Louise, I like Caroline Lawrence as well! Shame, I've read three of the books and I read the one that was set in Pompeii a few months ago, and I too can't remember the title either! :roll:
Is it "The Priates of Pompeii"? If you visit her website http://www.romanmysteries.com/ you can sign up for an email newsletter that looks quite good.

[Tiger]

Oh yeah, that's the one! (Cool webiste!)

[Tiger]

Went to the library and got out:

Wormwood by G.P. Taylor
Sisters, super-creeps and Slushy, Gushy Lovesongs by Karen McCrombie
Doctor Who: Winner Takes All by Jacqueline Rayner

:)

[Lilywhite]

I have Wormwood on my shelf to be read, you will have to let me know what you think Tiger :)

[Louiseog]

Is it "The Priates of Pompeii"? If you visit her website http://www.romanmysteries.com/ you can sign up for an email newsletter that looks quite good.
Yes, thank you

[Tiger]

Lilywhite, I like what I've read so far, a few more pages and I can do a proper opinion.

Today I went to Waterstones and got Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Mopurgo.

[Angel]

I was so virtuous getting you and your brother a book each and not myself!! :angel_not:

[Louiseog]

I was so virtuous getting you and your brother a book each and not myself!! :angel_not:
The perfect mother!!

[Angel]

Well I have had 2 books this week and got another en route! At the moment I have got a semi-ban from buying more books until my TBR pile goes down a bit!!

Having said that, I bought another cookbook at the church hall today for 20p! Well it was for charity and is full of ideas to fill the OH's belly :blush:

[Tiger]

Yup!20p is not bad at all! It will certainly keep Dad happy!

Loving Kensuke's Kingdom. I loved Wormwood as well!!!

[Tiger]

Hiya guys. I have been forgetting to write on my list recently as I am so busy. (homework mainly but also something else which is a secret for now).

Anyway, I only managed to read half of Jane Eyre, I found it so hard! However, what I read was really, really good. Once I'm about 12 or 13, I'll try and read it.

Now I am reading The Tide Knot by Helen Dunmore (I have been reading this since Monday and it's already very nearly finished)

x

[Lilywhite]

I loved Wormwood as well!!!

Good to hear this Tiger, I will definately get around to reading it soon.

(homework mainly but also something else which is a secret for now). x

See, now you have us all intrigued :D

Nice to see you back though :mrgreen:

[Angel]

Tiger was tackling the unabridged version of Jane Eyre though and that is why it was so hard!

Have you been creating again??? Is that why you've been so quiet :mrgreen:

[Tiger]

Finished The Tide Knot. I am reading the other one by Helen Dunmore, Ingo, as I enjoyed it when I read it last year.

[Louiseog]

You probably already know but the Roman Mysteries are on CBBC/BBC1 on Tuesday, look good.

[Tiger]

No, I didn't actually! Thank you Louise!

[Louiseog]

Thought it looked quite good - right faces for the characters

[Tiger]

Blimey, sice last time I have read:

Drama Queen
Lucky T
The Secret Diary Of Anne Boleyn
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Eragon
Ghost Stories Like Never Before
Doctor Who (one about the eighth doctor, can't remember what it's called now):blush:

And I'm reading yet another ghost story!;)

[maclsj]

What was The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn like?

[Tiger]

Hi! I think that the story was a little bit slow to start with, but then it's like many books, it picks up its charm about 30 pages in. Over all it was quite good...

[maclsj]

Thanks Samantha! Will add it to my TBR list :)

[Tiger]

For my birthday I got Black Beauty and Eldest. When we went to Hever, I got Anne Boleyn And Me. I couldn't resist to start the Anne Boleyn one, and it's really good!

[Janet]

The 'My Story' series look good. I hope you enjoy your books. :)

[Tiger]

I've read the following recently:
Black Beauty (Anna Sewell)
Eldest (Christopher Paolini)
Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets
Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban
Harry Potter And The Order Phoenix
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows
The Deep (Helen Dunmore)

And now I'm reading Hand Of The Devil. Oh yes, and 9-year-old brother is having a blast at The Order Of The Phoenix. He loves Harry Potter!:readingtwo:

[Kell]

And now I'm reading Hand Of The Devil. Oh yes, and 9-year-old brother is having a blast at The Order Of The Phoenix. He loves Harry Potter!:readingtwo:
You always astound me with the amount of reading you do - you total bookworm, Tiger! And perhaps your brother will eventually become a member here and you'll both be fighting with your mum for computer time to visit the forum!

Hope you enjoy reading Hand of the Devil - I just looked it up and it looks really good, so I'll be dying to hear what you think of it!

[Angel]

Kell, I already struggle to get on here!!! Tom is planning to join at a later date.

Tiger permanantly has her nose in a book - now she's planning an assault on some of my books including Jean Plaidy, Daphne Du Maurier and Philippa Gregory

[Liz]

Oh yes, and 9-year-old brother is having a blast at The Order Of The Phoenix. He loves Harry Potter!:readingtwo:

So does my elder sister (she's 31). She is a huge fan of Harry Potter. She's trying not to read the Deathly Hallows book too quickly, though, as she's trying to keep it going for as long as possible. She doesn't want Harry to end!

[Tiger]

OK, so here is my list of things I've read since I last posted on this thread:

The Bloody Tower by Alison Prince 6/10
Soul-Eater by Michelle Paver 9.5/10
Outcast by Michelle Paver 10/10
Meet the Real World, Rachel by Karen McCombie 7/10
Frankie, Peaches and Me by Karen McCombie 7.5/10
Amber and the Pepper-Hot Jelly by Karen McCombie 6.5/10
Why The Whales Came by Michael Mopurgo 8/10
Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Mopurgo (re-read) 9/10

On Thursday, the school gave me £15 worth of book tokens, as well as a handful of certificates, on rewards evening. I spent £10 of that on:

Arthur High King of Britain by Michael Mopurgo
The Roman Mysteries: The Slave-Girl of Jerusalem by Caroline Lawrence

Waterstones were doing a Buy One, Gut One Half Price on all kid's books today, and I couldn't resist!

[Janet]

Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Mopurgo (re-read) 9/10
My son just read that, and I've bunged it on my 'to read' pile for next year.

Congrats on the awards, btw. :)

[Child.of.God.1989]

This is such an enjoyable blog, Tiger! Great job earning the book tokens. I wish my school had those - and that I would be as smart as you to earn and wisely use them! My mom passed her bookworm trait to me; Angel, good job taking that further!

When I was in junior high (not that long ago, really!:lol:), my favorites were The Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett, and the Dear America (http://catalog.sno-isle.org/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?displayMore+30793+41+51+9) and Royal Diaries (http://catalog.sno-isle.org/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?resultsScreen+30793+1+10+11). --And Harry Potter, obviously! My grandma bought me Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone when I was eleven, so I was kind of the same age as Harry with each new year at Hogwarts I read about. My other grandma got me into George Macdonald's children's stories like Sir Gibbie and At the Back of North Windearly on.

I will see what I like best by Karen McCombie and Michael Mopurgo for now. That's cool that you have so many favorites already!

[Child.of.God.1989]

[...]I only managed to read half of Jane Eyre, I found it so hard! However, what I read was really, really good. Once I'm about 12 or 13, I'll try and read it.

Good plan! I didn't read Jane Eyre until I was thirteen; I actually hadn't heard of it until my English teacher recommended it to me. Once you pick it or an abridged version up, I hope you'll like Jane's steady character, and the slightly creepy feeling throughout the book!:)

[Tiger]

I have been so busy, and to my guilt I've only read:

The Slave-Girl From Jerusalem by Caroline Lawrence, 9/10
Arthur, HIgh King Of Britain by MIchael Mopurgo, 8/10

And with my remaining £5 book token I got The Sight by David Clement-Davies. I'm half-way through, and it's very good. It's about wolves, and I'm obsessed with them now! :blush:

:wolf::wolf::wolf:

[Tiger]

Now I'm reading Wilderness by Roddy Doyle, which I got at the Scholastic Book Sale at school
