I don't like the foul language really but if the book is good I
do read it but sometimes the book is rubbish as well as bad
language in it !!!!!! I don't see why they need to use it at
all especially in a novel that may be well read !!!!!!!!! PASS
:)
I do not like re reading books BUT I have re read a couple of
the Heidi books to Greta when she was younger :))))))))))

I believe you have mentioned that before [emoji4] I used to read
Enid Blyton's books and I am actually thinking of getting a set
for Zurie's birthday in May as she loves to read.
I'm not sure what my favourite book is, but I think Jane Eyre
and have read it many times and bought a copy for my audible as
well [emoji4]

I do remember Jane Eyre as it was a book we had to read at
school :) I read it in school but I have read it again since as
I found a copy on among my old books :)
I have bought a couple of Enid Blyton books for Greta and I
remember buying a few Famous Five books for Jack... he still has
them in his bedroom book case :)

We had to read it at school as well along with a few other
classics, including Pride and Prejudice, another favourite of
mine [emoji4]
I was thinking of the Famous Five for Zurie.

We also had to read lots of the classic books in Boarding
school. A different CLASSIC book every month in Forms 1-4 !!!!!
Then in Fifth form we had the choice because that was the GCE
exam year :)))))))
Nice memories and we were allowed to read in bed before lights
out for maybe half an hour in the older age dorms .... then the
book had to be put at the end of the bed so the dormitory nun
could pick it up and put them all in a pile by the door
!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO WE DID NOT READ UNDER THE COVERS OR BY
TORCHLIGHT !!!!!!
I think I Have told you that story before too :)))))))))))) And
yes, we did also have an extra book to read under the bed covers
by torchlight IF it was a good book :)))))))
I think all kids should read the old time books like The Famous
Five ! I see in the book shops that you can still get modern
copies of the books !~

When I was looking for books for someone else I saw nearly all
of Enid Blyton's books republished and immediately thought of
Zurie, they are all beautifully done too [emoji4]
Yes I remember you telling me that story before. I remember
myself reading by torchlight under the covers too and I am sure
Mum knew, but she never stopped me [emoji1]

Got 4 new books from the library the other day ... started one
the other night and I have read it before ... and last night I
started another one..... I don't think I have actualleh read it
before BUT I have read about it as it is slightly familiar ....
so I will keep reading and see !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have seen all those sets of small Enid Blyton books in the
Dymocks Bookshop :))))
Reading under the blankets with a torch was an old way of
reading after lights out ... either at home or in boarding
school :))))) I did it in both places :))))))))))))))))))

I honestly don't know how you don't know you read it before,
don't you read the synopsis first? I have picked up books before
and thought I haven't read it, but once I read the synopsis I
realise either I have or haven't!!!!!
