I had a break for a few (2) days because I couldn't choose which new book to start.

But my husband chose this one for me so it's only right I give it a read.

It better be good or I'm divorcing him.

So... book 3.5 didn't take long. It was a lovely pallet cleanser after the heaviness of book 3.

Now onto book 4... I'm not sure I'm ready for the series to end (for now).

Book 4.

I'm honestly so happy with my Night Court edition versions of these books too. Aesthetically pleasing to my eye 😂

Michael Rosen.

I didn't discover him until later on when I had my son (except for We're Going on a Bear Hunt).

However, his poems are a staple in my classroom :)

Time for book 3!

I think I'm a tad obsessed.

My parents would buy me the Guinness Book of World Records every year.

Hands down the best non-fiction books I ever owned 😂

The author who caught my attention - and that I remember vividly is Michelle Paver.

I remember picking up Wolf Brother when I was 12, based on the cover (I know, I know) and was hooked. Her stories stuck with me. I'm thinking I'll have to dig the books out again for my son...

Tough one because there are so many.

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. A teacher told me at 7/8, "you shouldn't be reading that book. It's too hard for you." So naturally I read it out of spite. I loved the thought that an ordinary person could become part of the extraordinary.

Hello, I am Fran.

I fell in love with reading when I was a small child. My dad introduced me to the magic of Narnia, The Hobbit and then the late, great, Terry Pratchett.

I find it preferable to live in a fantasy world than the real one.

Tonight's new book. I smashed the first two in 4 nights. Safe to say I love this series.

Let's see what Evie and The Villain get up to this time...

Half-term yeeessss.

More time for reading books! (If the cat lets me)

Me and Misty have just finished reading this book (I covered her eyes at certain parts 👀)

It was delightful. Full of twists and turns and beautiful imagery. I look forward to reading the next one.

When I read, I hear my own voice reading the words in my head.

I've just found out that not everybody does this.

Then I went down a rabbit hole of trying to find studies about internal monologues.

Now I have even more questions and no answers.

My inner Fran is not satisfied.

In the space of 2 weeks I've finished Wisteria by Adalyn Grace and Phantasma and Enchantra by Kaylie Smith and now I feel empty inside.

I need more books.

Second book of the week started today. #Phantasma by #KaylieSmith

120 pages in and I'm very much enjoying it. She has a fantastically descriptive writing style that has the characters and scenes painted beautifully in my mind's eye.

Goodness me, he's really desperate for that Nobel Peace Prize 😂

My husband is away for the weekend and my cat came up and kissed me three times on the lips - just like my husband does.

I guess she's my husband now?

Is it too much to ask for a day at home to read my book?
