Enough about me and my can't-finish-a-book slackness (although there are just 100 pages to go now in Wicked - nearly there!) - I'm passing the baton today to my three lovely children who are also book fiends.
Eldest daughter (8) is a mad Jacqueline Wilson as I've already mentioned. She's also just read The Quigleys At Large by Simon Mason which she loved - in fact, she's begged me to read it too, so we can discuss it.
Son (6) is reading the charmingly titled Johnny Biscuit and the Snot-Men by Michael Cox which he says is "really funny".
And youngest daughter (4) enjoyed reading Shark in the Park by the fabulous Nick Sharratt - she got it free with her Booktrust reading box thingy yesterday at playgroup, so we're all pleased about that.
Me, I'm lining up my next book... it might be The End of Mr Y by Scarlett Thomas which is our book group choice (which seems to have blown everyone else's mind - in a good way), or I'm quite tempted by a book I got for Christmas (and forgot to mention earlier) which is The Beacon by Susan Hill. Signed first edition, too, and it looks a good one to curl up with on a cold night. Hmmmm.....
