| Just had a lovely weekend reading books I read years ago - The Buddha of Suburbia and Tales of the City. Love a bit of nostalgic reading! |

That is what is putting me off reading it! Worried it won't be as good! I had abandoned Death of kings by Philip Gooden so I will finish that first. |

I didn't enjoy Winter in Madrid as much as the historical ones but it is still a good read.

Do you need some literacy support? I'm very good at it!  |

I loved notes from an exhibition but can't remember much about it. Does it have Sherwood forest in it? i'll have ot get it off the shelf and have another look at it.
I am not reading much these days apart from school related articles and curriculum books. |

Does anyone on here use www.shelfari.com ?
It's a great way of tracking the books you're reading, writing reviews and sharing them with others. I've just started using it and I'm really enjoying using it.
I'm registered as 'markwarner' if anyone wants to add me as a friend and share book ideas.
Maybe we could start a 'PTRC' book group on there?
