My Blog!
It's the National Year of Reading, and I've been trying to get various events and activities off the ground at school to at least make a bit of an effort. One thing I do need to do though is to read a bit more myself, and perhaps to do a bit more thinking about what I'm reading.
Most recently I've been indulging in one of my more bizarre reading habits. I have quite a large collection of what I would call 'old-fashioned' girls school stories. I own all 62 of the chalet school series, and I'm just finishing off reading my books by Elsie Jeanette Oxenham. I suppose I think of them as escapist reading, and although some of the plots seem ludicrous to modern readers I do enjoy a read through every so often! I don't own the whole series but am nearly done with reading the ones I have got. I've just had some new Young Adult books arrive at school so maybe one of those will be next on my list.
