Well you must have done something right lol!

I so missed that! I am going to have to read them again lol!

Ah good that was on my list so I am glad others have thought of it! I used to love this kind of thing when I was at school!

An award ceromy sounds great! I am so brain dead from the end of term that I have trouble thinking of anything so thank you, a lovely idea!

thanls Janet, I too love Morpurgo and will be encouraging them to read him! Is your daughter looking forward to moving on to secondary school?

That sounds great! I really want to do that but am nervous my reviews will sound rubbish lol!

Ooh I love the sound of that! for some reason the webiste very slow and not loading but I think that is a fault my end!

lol you star, currently looking at it myself!

Brilliant thanks. Any ideas of activities I could do with them? I thought about making bookmarks, quizzes... anything else?

Sorry Year 5 are 9-10 and Year 6 are 10-11

Shamefully I have never read any of them, I really must! Especially as my class keep mentioning them!

I work in a large school and am setting up a book club for my Year 5 and 6 pupils. I plan to start with them bringing books in to talk about and I want to get them to do lots of book related activities! I have come up with a few but wondered whether you wonderful people had some ideas!

Oh I feel bad now for suggesting bending the truth!

Just finished the most wonderful childrens book called Triskellion, highly recommend and cannot wait to recommend to my class to read!

How about read two chapters and see how you feel? If you like it carry on and if it doesn't immediately grab you return it. If you feel really bad you can always say someone gave you a copy to keep and so you are returning hers! That must be so difficult and I know what it is like so good luck!

I am finding choosing so difficult lol!

I think I will, we weren't supposed to be going anywhere this year but friends have asked us to share in renting a cottage in Wales so I think I will put it on the pile for that!

This is the only one I have read on your list and really loved it!

I bought that recently but after a chapter picked up a new book which isn't a good sign. I normally quite like Jane Green so I will give it a go although I am a bit worried after reading your comment!

What a great way to get me reading some more classics! Looking through all the books I have read recently and all the books on my LT account nearly everything is modern fiction. So my personal challenge for myself is to read a classic a month until December and then review. So each month I will choose from one of these authors. William Shakespeare Lewis Carroll Joseph Conrad Anton Chekhov Jane Austen Thomas Hardy Books Read July August September October November December

Thanks for the reminder sib!

Great thread, I am a big fan of these books too. It started in school many years ago with a book about a plague/disease wiping out the population but I cannot remember what it was!

Ooh what was the link? I read Ghostwritten years ago and loved it. BSG I read recently and have mixed views on it. Cloud Atlas I couldn't get past the first chapter but I think after your comments I will have to try again! Shame an old housemate borrowed it and never returned it, will have to get it from the library!

I have completely lost track, especially since moving, but I am really in the mood for having a sort out. I should be working but...ooh what do you reckon!?
