So no one has explicitly died yet and I'm not yet outraged. I mean the sexualisation of women is vile but it represents what the author said in the preface. Bateman is obsessed with identity. I genuinely think I could write an inventory for each character's wardrobe.

Happy half-term!
(My half-term book.)

Will start the re-read after the Easter holidays.
This will take us ages to read because SATs...

It was World Book Day and I read my class 100 pages but had to pause there. One of my class has suffered a recent loss so I decided that the chapters on loss in Wonder were not appropriate - especially as it is so raw!

I'm going to just read to them this book on World Book Day (Thursday) as they do other stuff so we can get through this.

I'll re-read at half-term.
Just getting ready.
It'll take us a while to read, especially as its SATs next half-term. ARRGH!

We're so close to the end.
We are on the edge.
(Thanks Horowitz for the fab setting description. Perfect for what we're doing now.)

My class adore this book.
We'll be writing spy stories over the next three weeks. Incredibly excited!

It seems to be only my class, who hate this book. They would pick up Stormbreaker every time instead of this. I enjoy this and the other two Y6 classes do too.
(We're so far behind on this.)

This book is incredibly dense. Neurology is fascinating and I am intrigued to find out about the disorders. It is a 'back burner' type of book, which I will keep dipping into.

Six new audiobooks for the start of term.
I have my priorities sorted.

They've only found one key but I don't care.
I'm already shipping.

This is just fabulous!!!

Haven't read this in a while but we NEED to increase scores in reading and the unseen text is our enemy at the moment.
Will be reading two chapters on Monday to prepare for non-chron on gadgets. I'd also like to take this moment to thank Horowitz for his amazing resources. SAVED MY LIFE!

The poetry myth was really intriguing; I enjoyed that!

I like Neil Gaiman's narration and I do like the retelling of the stories but can't help compare it to The Gospel of Loki and it doesn't have the edge that Loki's narration provides.

I've been wanting to read this forever.
Now I have the audiobook and Neil Gaiman is the narrator - aka heaven!

I genuinely want to marry Mark Watney. He's such a sarcastic genius and my god I loved it.

I've never seen my class so gripped by a book in my life.
Horowitz is a genius.
We've just left it on a cliffhanger so Alex was shot and they're not going to find out what happens until Monday :') Mwhahahahaha!!!

So I'm 7 hours in and I'm not happy because I only have 3 hours left.
This has me gripped. Honest to god.
Watney is the best person to put on the moon. He's such a sarcastic little shit and I love him for it. NEVER END! LET'S STAY ON MARS FOREVER.

I have to keep taking breaks from this because I keep constantly crying over this.
SUPERNATURAL CHANGES LIVES!!!

I can't believe I've listened to 3 hours of this today.
I LOVE THIS!!!
(Audible have done a fine job with this one.)

Hello new audiobook!

Donbavand is clever. Wow.
Set in one of the most famous events in televised history with the undeniable tang of the 11th doctor, the chemistry between 11 and Clara and the actual storyline is solid.
This is just great.

After a difficult book, I always visit a Doctor Who book.
Its a tradition!

Why do I do this to myself?
I'm genuinely traumatised.

This book is actually traumatic.
What is wrong with me picking up these types of books?
There's been a shooting in a high school.

This book actually hurts me.
