What are we reading...

We always have a few books on-going.

We have finally finished that long story about the Trojan Wars and Helen of Troy.

We were reading George and the key to the Universe by Stephen Hawkings. But unfortunately it belongs to someone else, so we had to return it. I'll have to get a copy form the library soon, but then I'm thinking it might be worth buying a copy fr ourselves.

We've starting The DiVIDE by Elizabeth Kay. Jnr seems to enjoy this story and he has checked out the back cover and mentioned to me of her other 2 books. So I've took note of this and will remember to get it.

On the side, we have another story by Charlie James called FISH. Well, it is about a boy eating some fish crisps that his father (a fish food manufacturer) invented for aquariums usage. We never got further than 10 pages, so not too sure yet what this book is all about. The sypnosis mentioned something about an encouter with a killer whale. Which is why I picked this book, because Jnr loves Orcas.

Pyjama Jones by JA Jennings. We are still struggling thru this story. We just felt that the story doesn't match up to it's exciting title and book cover. Jnr picked this book up, following his fascination with Indiana Jones's adventures. But the it's details and long -winded description is becoming very draggy and...long winded, frankly speaking. We're thru to pg 34, out of a 180 pages book, and we have yet to feel any real exciting adventure other than non-stop description of a mummy tomb and an Egyptian burial. Really, a rehash of what we have already knew from numerous documentaries.
