Hi, everyone!
Just a quick post to say how much I enjoyed seeing you all last week. I got home on Friday (after more school visits with Just Imagine Book Centre in Essex) exhausted but very happy.
It was great talking with so many of you about what you're reading. But do you know what? I completely forgot to take a note of your Recommended Reads on the display in the library! So if you put something up there that you think I might enjoy reading, would you mind putting it in the comments, below, please?
Oh, and something you might be interested in. Do you remember how some of us were talking about the fact that books aren't for boys or for girls, but for readers? One of the other authors on the blog I contribute to posted something interesting there, about how even though she just writes books, people keep insisting that they're books for girls. Take a look, and see what you think!
More soon!
John

Hi, 4JB! I had an absolutely terrific time with you, thanks. It was great just to hang out in your classrooms and talk about books. And I'm so glad to hear your dance show was such a success! Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know what you're reading. I loved One Dog and His Boy! It's one of my favourite books of the last couple of years. I've just finished The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness, and am about to start Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantell - it's one of those books for grown-ups that won lots of prizes, and everyone says it's really good, so I'm looking forward to starting it.
Take care!
John
