Read 


Dog Gone Dinky by Cynthia Port
Children's, 9 years +
10E/10E
(This 2nd book is better than the 1st! )





See You in September by Joanne Teague
Fiction
8/10E
(Not exactly what I'd hoped for but still a good read...)





Snapshot by Robert Swindells
Young Adult
Reading Age 8, Intended Age Teen
10E/10E
(Tension appears on every page in this dyslexic friendly thriller...)





Monkey Fun by Julia Dweck & Aida Sofia Barba
Children's, Picture book
10E/10E
(Lots of cute monkey antics alongside interesting facts!)





Lily Lemon Blossom: Welcome to Lily's Room by Barbara Miller & Inga Shalvashvili
Children's, Picture book
9/10E
(A sweet girl who loves her room...)





Jewel of the Thames by Angela Misri

10E/10E
(This book is awesome! Blog tour on March 19th!)








Reread


Drina Dances in Paris by Jean Estoril
Children's, 9 years +
10E/10E
(Happy sigh! Adore Drina, how she gets to travel with the Dominick and perform in Paris! She's one special ballet student...) 









Watched 


Waterloo Road (latest season)
Drama, English version
10/10E
(High on drama; melodramatic in a good way!) 





Waterloo Road:  Season 1
Drama, English version
10/10E
(Loving seeing the early series, which I think I may have seen before but it's only a dim recollection...) 





Casualty
Drama, English version
9/10E
(Can't remember what happened last week; it was fun, I think!) 





Castle: Season 1
Drama, English version
10E/10E
(Initially I wasn't keen keen on the gore but I then adored how Castle has a teen daughter, and how his mother is quite a character...much to a friend's delight I'm loving it!) 





Once Upon A Time: Season 1
Drama, English version
10E/10E
(I seriously thought this fairytale drama would be too scary for me, but it's not! Not so far, at least. I love the costumes, I even enjoy Snow White, a character I'm not keen on thanks to Disney...)





Sabrina The Animated Series
Anime, English version
9/10E
(An enjoyable version of the teenage witch hit show...) 





Winx: Season 5
Anime, French version
10E/10E
(Not the best thing to watch when I'm not feeling well as the girls move too fast! But still very awesome all the same...) 





Aikatsu
Anime, Japanese version
10E/10E
(Yup, I'm still totally in love with this show and can't get enough of it. I'm loving how the latest episodes are developing the story - I wonder where Mizuki has gone to [post episode 66]. ..)





Call the Midwife
Drama, English version
9/10E
(It was more interesting this week, although I can't remember why...) 









Played 
*smiles*  So the other week I mentioned how I might pay for the full version of Diner Dash Grilling Green/Cooking Dash (Thrills & Spills), I ended up with an Amazon promotion and was able to get them both for free! 



I'm playing Diner Dash Grilling Green first, at least until I get stuck ^o^ So far it's fun!
9/10E





I also got Laundry Dash HD - it's all about laundry, simliar to Diner Dash. It's not always the easiest game, but somehow it's addictive putting laundry in the washer/dryer/ironing pile etc. 
8/10E








Craft 
Lots of crochet has been done this week - I made the squares a little bigger as they weren't quite the required size.
