What's going on in your reading world?

Just wondered what people are reading at the moment. I am currently reading The Execution of Noa P. Singleton (Elizabeth L. Silver)- a story of a woman who has been on death row for ten years and is fast approaching her 'end' date. She is visited by a lawyer and the mother of the victim, who she has never denied killing. Noa narrates the story and we are told in a kind of flashback what happened all those years ago; what led to the circumstances which put her in this terrible position. I'm about half-way through (so no spoilers, please if anyone has read it!), seems a fairly good book and I'm pretty sure there are going to be some twists and turns before I reach the end. I'll let you know.

Really looking forward to the next book I have lined up:        Neil Gaiman's The Ocean At The End Of The Lane (OAEOL- for short). I've been reading a lot of his stuff recently and this is getting rave reviews, so I can't wait.

New Reading Challenge

To help encourage reading for pleasure across the whole college, we are hoping to start a new reading challenge. Keep a look out for more information as the launch date approaches, which we hope will be the week beginning July 1st. There's a teaser picture, just to keep you intrigued. Pop in and ask at any of the College Library centres if you want some more info. Happy reading!

New look, new layout

Welcome to the new look blog. We will soon be advertising our resources on a new Library website, so this has given us the opportunity to re-vamp this blog slightly and devote its use to our love of reading fiction. We hope that students of the Northampton College, members of staff or anyone from anywhere who happens to come across BooksBlogBlurb, will join in with our chats about what's tickling our fancy storywise. We want to get open discussions going, with all voices being heard. So please, if you have something to say about a book you are reading, a book you want to read, or a book someone else is reading, comment on our posts. Let's have a massive love-in for books and reading!!
