  1. Read 50 pages of Six Wives: The Queens of Henry VIII by David Starkey.... I got really bored of my chemistry revision after two hours of solid Calcium Carbonate Thermal Decomposition questions during my PE lesson (still can't do PE!) and started reading for the last ten minutes, then more when I got home from school.

     

    No doubt I'll read some more later- it's a really, really good book!

  2. Now reading a very, very good book that Mum got me at Hampton Court Palace on Wednesday, I can't put it down....

     

    Six Wives: The Queens of Henry VIII by David Starkey. Two words- simply amazing. :blush: 800 pages, already nearly a quarter of the way through :lol:

  3. Thanks :D

     

    While on holiday, I read Hannah's Choice by Kirsty and Hannah Jones- a very moving real-life story about a young gir of my age- Hannah- who suffered from leukaemia from the age of four. The chemotherapy gave her a very rare side affect and gave her severe heart damage. Aged twelve, while the leukaemia was in remission, she went into severe heart failure, with heart fuction at just 10% of what it should be. After several years of severe pain and suffering, she turned down a heart transplant and caused great controversy. A very moving story told by Hannah and her mother Kirsty. 9/10

  4. Hi all :) Haven't been on here much of late (way too busy with revision and coursework), and I admit that I won't be online as much as I used to be for these reasons, but here's what I've read so far this year- nowhere near what I've read on previous years...:

  5. 2-faced people; people who you do everything for them and then they don't like it when you're the one who's down in the dumps (I know a couple of those alright!); people who have no manners when you're out and about; and a load of other things.

  6. 1) I hate lifts, I won't go in them
