Well West Sussex is covered in a blanket of snow and the hill in a sheet of ice which means we have no choice but to stay at home and curl up with a good book. This week, I've been catching up with The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. James read them and reviewed them for the site (which you can find here) and he was so impressed he's been nagging me to read them.
I was absolutely blown away.
These books are fantastic! The plotline is gripping, the characters are not just believable but likeabe, which can be an entirely different thing and its written in a simple but compelling style. I devoured them both in such a short time and quickly began reecommending them to everyone I know.
We also managed to see Where the Wild Things Are this weekend. I loved the book when I was little and James is a recent convert so we were quite excited to see the film The director took this little story and turned it into a huge film, more about childhood than a film for kids.
We won't be updating the site for a day or two over Christmas, so we wish all our visitors a very Merry Christmas and we hope to see you all again after the festive season!
