  1. I'd be ashamed to take a picture of my bookshelves, although they're relatively ordered, still a bit of a mess!

    I enjoyed History at GCSE level, so I'm sure you'll like it. :) I was pressured into making a decsion about a language from both sides for GCSE- French + Spanish. I eventually decided on Spanish, althought both teachers said I had a gift for languages. :blush:

  3. Lol, that was it. It was only like a page out of it, and I've had a busy day otherwise I would've remembered! Ha, I agree with you though, I loved it, and if it was a ploy to entice us to take english lit, then it's certainly worked, and I will be handing my application form in first thing tomorrow.
  4. Haha, you never know! Thankfully I've been blessed with the thirst for reading.
  5. They're are amazing, and certainly do the Irish proud!

    Hey there! Things are great.. I had a taster day for 6th forum today, got to have the lessons that I was considering taking. It gave me a great insight and I will be handing my application form in tomorrow with the subjects being; maths, english lit, history, and philosophy and ethics. :D

    I've only just come back on here you see, I had completely forgot about the place. :( But now I've matured a lot and I noticed this place again. It's good to be back!

    Thank you for the add! :)

  9. Wow, well we looked at extracts from Frankenstein and The Othello Castle or something a long those lines.
  10. Hey Kell, good to see your getting on well with your challenges!

    Hi everyone.

    Welcome to the forum!

    Hello

    Welcome to the forum! If you want a chat feel free to pm me.
  14. That's weird! In my taster session for 6th forum English Literature, the teacher grabbed our attention through gothic literature! I found it very interesting indeed, and I'm taking English lit so I'm looking forward to it very much.
  15. I started the first book earlier, and now I'm thoroughly enjoying it!

    Aloha!

    Hello there, I'm Ben, nice to meet you. I'm currently reading the brilliant classic Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson. Um, I'm 15, enjoy reading, obviously! I'm sure you'll find this a good place to discuss books with all us avid readers. I think you've definitely found your outlet! If you want to talk about anything, drop me a pm.

    Hello!

    Hi, welcome to the forum Vanessa, I'm sure you'll find some good books recommendations here, and make some good friends on the way! You've read all the books I've read, Harry Potter, His Dark Materials (I adore that series.), and I'm sure many more. Drop me a pm if you fancy a discussion. I've also read the Twilight Saga, and without giving anything away, I'm sure you'll love it immensely.. Anyway, my names Ben, see you around!
  18. Hi Paul, just popped by your thread to wish you good luck with your challenge. I've never really bothered with challenges, but then again I haven't looked at making lists of books I've read throughout a year, before now. 2009 is the year were I will make such a list! I don't think I'll attempt any challenges other than a personal challenge to read some good, new reads.
  19. That's were I am different then. Neither of my parents read, at all. It's usually me that's encouraging them to read something. ): Like I said below I've read a lot from a young age.. I must've just been drawn to reading by fate!
  20. That doesn't sound good; I remember the update. I hope my security and things will be enough to protect me.
  21. I like the arch as well, very dark and brooding.
  22. Sounds good, prefer to think of my own though.
  23. Aha, thank you for that. :)

  24. Thanks! Call me Ben.
  25. I'm a sucker for chart music. Snow Patrol, James Morrison, The Script, Coldplay, Oasis. Many more..
