WWW Wednesday

middle grade 1 Minute

I’m currently listening to the audiobook of The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman. My goodness – what a world and what a story! I’ve really found myself immersed in these books, and am so glad I’ve ‘picked’ them up after so many years ignoring them! I will watch the TV series after I’ve finished this one. I’m just about to start my sixth book for Believathon, Tamarind & the Star of Ishta.

I’ve finished reading The Weather Weaver which I’ll be reviewing shortly. I also read Return to Roar which blew me away! I loved The Land of Roar and think this was even better. I just loved the world-building and the sheer escapism I got from reading it. I really do think this is a celebration of the power of the imagination and it just makes me feel good reading it – joyful, humorous, wonderful characters with wonderful messages relating to friendship, self-belief and facing your fears. I really enjoyed the much closer relationship between Arthur and Rose.

I have been lucky enough to have been sent a proof copy of Amari and the Night Brothers by the Publisher for an upcoming Blog Tour. It is one of my most anticipated reads, and I’m so looking forward to reading it this weekend.

I am a primary school teacher who is a voracious reader. I love reading children's books, talking to them about books, engaging them in reading for pleasure and recommending books to them.

  2. Look forward to your thoughts on Amari, it sounds promising from what I’ve heard but I hate the cover so I await your verdict!
    Glad you’re still enjoying HDM! Very wise to finish the books before starting the series – have you watched season one or none of it yet?

    1. I really hope I’m not disappointed by it – I’ve been looking forward to it so much! I watched a little of the first season but definitely think it best to finish book first. Are you watching it?

      1. Yes, although we’ve not watched last Sunday’s yet. I’m so glad I read the books first. I think the series is good but I do spend a lot of it going “that’s not how they are/that is…” because its not exactly how it is in my head!
