It's that time of year where I remember that I have a blog and finally update, spamming the blog with Readathon posts!

Well, I may not have blogged much, but I did complete the readathon. It took me a couple of hours extra to finish my 3rd book, but I started late and spent a lot of time not reading so I don't mind. Apart from sleeping, playing The Simpsons Tapped Out, going in the bath and … Continue reading Dewey’s Readathon – April 2015 – Hours 10-24
I have finished reading the play Hobson's Choice by Harold Brighouse. This is a GCSE set text at my placement school and I thought it best that I read it so that when I work with Year 11, I can help them understand it.

It's been so long since my last readathon! I am busy working on my teacher training so have had so little time for blogging, and barely much time for reading, but today I will try and rectify that! I will still need to plan lessons, but I am going to sit, chill out and read … Continue reading Dewey’s Readathon – April 2015 – Hour 1
I must say, I had a lovely sleep. Unfortunately, it has left me with only an hour of reading time left. Oops. I will add though, that my dreams were full of references to A Tale for Time Being. It was as though spending all those hours reading it were not enough and it refuses … Continue reading Readathon Oct 2013: Hours 13-24

It's on the Booker Prize shortlist 2013 and is about a woman in Canada who finds … Continue reading Readathon Oct 2013: Hours 4-6
