Read


The Lucy Variations by Sara Zarr
Young Adult
8/10
(Lucy is a musical genius [sort of] who quits music, then slowly learns to love it again...my review...) 





Split Second by Sophie McKenzie
Release Date:  September 2013
Young Adult
10/10E
(Terror, thrills, drama, unknown alliances are all in this awesome read!)





The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon
Release Date:  August 2013
Young Adult
9/10
(An epic in which you don't even notice time passing as you read it...) 





Twinkle Twinkle Squiglet Pig by Joyce Dunbar & Tim Hopgood
Children's, Picture Book
10/10
(Stay tuned to find what a squiglet pig is!) 




Coyote Summer byJ S Kapchinske
Children's Fiction, 9 years +
10/10
(Who wouldn't want to care for orphaned coyote cubs for the summer?)




Mary's Hair by Eoin Colfer
Children's, 6-8 years with Reading age of 6 years old
Dyslexia friendly
10/10
(I smiled on every page of this hair cut fiasco...) 




Sticker Dolly Dressing Holiday and Travel

(The same dolls are used in both of these fun themed books...)




Sweetness and Lies by Karen McCombie
Children's, Reading age 8 years +

(A bittersweet read about making new friends at a new school - not everyone is as nice as they seem...)




Cherry Green Story Queen  by Annie Dalton
Children's, Reading Age 8 years +
Intended age 8-12 years, Dyslexia friendly
9/10
(I loved how the children got totally absorbed by  Cherry's stories - although the mean boy changing his attitude so fast through listening to the stories was a little unrealistic...)







Watched 



Holby City
Drama, English version
9/10
(It's amazing how really sad episodes are teamed up with hilarious moments...) 





Casualty

10/10
(Some scary drama going on in the hospital series - next week sees a doctor going mental - mega scary!)





AKB0048
REWATCH! - Anime, Japanese version
10/10E
(I'm up to the point where Mimori has become the next Mariko! I miss her long hair!) 





Yumeiro Patissiere
REWATCH! - Anime, Japanese version
10/10E
(I still want cake whenever I watch this...)






Craft

So, I have my hexagon which is not quite a hexagon....and as I'm busy this Friday I probably won't make the second until next week. Somehow 6 inch squares had become four inch squares so I'm having to make them bigger...

I've wound up lots of yarn - I do this even on pre-wound balls because it makes it less liable to knot, plus it's quite relaxing to do.
