The Book Thread

[Izzy H]

I've been reading Roots. It's very difficult to understand but as I have seen the film it does make it a little easier.

Okay, so I'm not really reading it for the fun of it, but I'm doing 'A'-Level English Lit. at the moment and have got an exam on Thursday on a book called Howards End by E.M. Forster. Does anyone know of any good websites where I can get extra bits and pieces on it that other people might not have? I'm sick of writing timed practice essays but I need to look like I'm doing something constructive with my time!

Thankies!

Now I’ve just started on Appointment with Death by Agatha Christie.

I must say that I’m kind of proud of myself because I managed to guess the murderer in the book Cards on the Table

You'll never guess Appointment with Death.

I recently read Birk the Beserker by Robin Klein and illustrated by Allison Lester. A bit anachronistic but there was some evidence of research into Viking myths.

Just finished Cathy Glass - Hidden. Excellent book. Emotional at parts but well worth the read. Also reccommened her book called Damaged. True stories of the children she fosters

The Loner by Josephine Cox.

The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards.

A good read. I would recommend it.

I'm currently reading a book called "Idas dans" ("Ida's dance"). A lot of people recommended it to me, and I finally decided on reading it, and I definitely don't regret it.

It's basically a mother's story (it's a true story) about her daughter's last 14 months to live from she got diagnosed with leukemia just 18 years old. It's really sad, but beautiful at the same time. I would definitely recommend it, but unfortunately I don't think it's translated to English
