What Am I Reading Now
The Carnivorous Carnival - Lemony Snicket. Kids got a little bit reinvigorated with this one this week. Travelling quite nicely now.
Pillars of the Earth - Ken Follett. We went camping on the weekend so I got through a fair chunk of this. Plan to finish it this week - possibly today if I ignore a bunch of other stuff that needs doing!
What I read last week.
Two finishes this week.
Breath - Tim Winton - I finished this audio book. The narrator was Dan Wyllie - an excellent Australian actor. I found his voice for the main character - a teenage boy, perfect. However his portrayal of an American woman was shocking! I suppose with an audio book you have to take the good with the bad, it's just with this one the good was so good you started to think you were really listening to the character, that they were a real person telling you their story and then you would be jarred out of that by a the really bad female American voice. It was still worth the listen though.
The Royal Ranger - John Flanagan - The final in the excellent young adult fantasy series, Ranger's Apprentice. The good news is Flanagan has already created a spin off from the series called Brotherband that I am looking forward to getting into. If you have a 10-12 year old in your life that likes reading, I highly suggest these books, especially for boys (although I know plenty of girls who love them too!)
Did you check out my TED Talks Tuesday last week? I hope so. Check back tomorrow for another amazing TED Talk - don't know which one yet as there are so many amazing ones to choose from!
So how was your week? Leave me a comment and a link - I'd love to know what you've been up to!
