Taking a breath
between writing reviews. 100 books read and reviewed in January was an ambitious target. It turned out it’s the writing and publishing of reviews that we fell behind on, I suspect we’ve read way more than 100 books given the number we all read to the baby. I mean, we’ve currently got 80 library books…
Doing the Animal Bop #100Books
This was sent to us free of charge by Oxford University Press for our 100 books challenge. Fun pictures and a great rhythm, this is a book that is crying out to be read to a group of toddlers so that they can join in with the actions – I suspect it’s destined to become…
Just like tonight #100Books
This was sent to us free of charge by Oxford University Press for our 100 books challenge. A lovely picture book, I think this will resonate on a deeper level with parents as the story revolves around Daddy Bear recalling the day Baby Bear was born in an effort to chase away a scary image…
Using our library for #100books
A challenge that is working to build a library overseas really ought to do more than nod at libraries here. We are not in an area where libraries are particularly threatened by the coming cuts as far as I can tell, but if we were, I’d be thinking hard about what I could do to…
Reading during rookie #100Books
Knowing that we’re just a bit behind (eek!) with our totals, I was quite pleased to see a pile of books on the table while waiting at the leisure centre during Big’s Rookie lifeguard on Thursday. So there you’ve got Splash, Amazing Machines Terrific Trains, Noddy and the Special Delivery Sound Book and Winnie the…
Exit interview for the HTC Desire HD.
Looking back through posts, I realised that I mentioned the HTC Desire HD I had on loan from three a couple of times, but I didn’t do a specific review post, unlike the mifi, the Nokia N97 mini and the Nokia E72. Tut. So I’ll rectify that now. When the HTC arrived, I thought it…
Innervention #100books
A twitter friend, Marc, aka The Business GP is someone who understands the value of charity – proceeds from his book on Renaissance Management are funnelled through to his charity Camp Quality UK. I think it was when he tweeted about that that I mentioned the 100 book challenge, and after a quick batch of…
Astral legacies and Global Intelligence Organisation #100books
A few reviews from the children next – books 23 to 26. All of these were supplied by Top That Publishing for the challenge. Big has read and reviewed Orcas’ Song and The Tigers’ Secret while Small has read and reviewed Venom Rising and Vipers’ Nest. Amazon.co.uk Widgets
Cub's First Winter #100books
Cub’s First Winter by Rebecca Elliott was sent free of charge by the publishers Top That! Publishing to support our 100 Books Challenge. This is a lusciously illustrated storybook about winter, which has a mother fox explaining the season to her curious cub as they enjoy a last forest walk on the first day of…
Trying hard to love the Nokia N97 Mini.
I’ve had this phone on trial for nearly a month now – Christmas and our family trip away got in the way of sending it back to its home at WomWorld. An extended loan though means that I really get chance to try it out under fire, and find my way around all its quirks.…
