Ellie Brown (ebrown18) | 19 comments Hey just a quick question.

I am currently reading The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis which is a book in the Chronicle of Narnia series. Would you classify this as a children's book? I looked on Goodreads and it's genre section said Classic, Young Adult, Children, Fantasy...

I think the weather agrees with you Brenda. The roof just sprung a leak and the backyard has flooded. Which started going into the granny flat, so my poor mother-in-law has been madly sweeping water out for the past couple hours, while we've been trying to build up guttering and retaining walls :(

So I probably wont be able to read much tonight :'(

message 323: by Deb (new)

Deb Omnivorous Reader | 1929 comments Finished Earth Bound (Sea Haven/Sisters of the Heart, #4) by Christine Feehan earlier today = 368 pages.

Have started Last Train to Babylon by Charlee Fam and I suspect that was a tactical error; I have been looking forward to this one, but the main character is such an unlikable bitch of a train wreck, well, it is neither smooth nor easy to read. Only done 76 pages so far.
