Readers

The kids are on half term holiday. We thought it was just a couple of weeks ago that they had their Easter break, and now yet another holiday! They seem to have a lot of jolly times. But then they said it will be a solid seven and half weeks of schooling from next week onwards until the academic year finishes.

So today after work I was checking out what have they been up to during the break. I was pleasantly surprised to know that they were keeping themselves busy reading books.

Our second was really into it that she is now into her third novels in as many days. That's about 500 pages a day. She is reading Stephene Meyer's books. Stephenie is the writer of the "Twilight" novel, currently showing in cinemas as "Twilight" the movie. Apparently that novel sold over 40 millions copies worldwide and she was named USA Today's "Author of the Year" last year. She has written three other books that form a series after the Twilight - New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Zim is now into the 3rd.

Our youngest is also trying to compete the reading marathon during the term break. Since starting on Sunday he is now into his fifth books of the Erin Hunter's Warrior series - this is a much lighter reading.
