A beautifully and distinctively written book by Natalia Ginzburg, exploring life in Italy during the Second World War. Will definitely be looking out for more of her work! #reading #readingforpleasure #book #books #BookReview

Finished reading this fantastic and ambitious novel by Jennifer Egan looking out over the Aegean Sea 🌊. I love holidays; and this book was fab! #book #books #bookaddict #booklover #readingcommunity #reading #readingforpleasure #bookreview

Alice Reedy Ah thank you for praising my “favorite child,” Alice—and for bringing her with you on vacation!!!

Two more excellent books I read while on holiday, particularly the The Booker Prizes winning novel by Paul Lynch which I really loved. Terrifying, clever and beautifully unusual. #book #books #readingforpleasure #bookreviews #booklog #reading

Another brilliant The Booker Prizes winner, this time from Jenny Erpenbeck. So interesting to read something set in East Germany, and such skilled writing to make a character so gradually deplorable ! #reading #book #booklovers #books 😉#booktwt #readingforpleasure #readers

Had a fantastic session this morning with the new UEL Primary PGCE student teachers exploring our own reader identities and histories and discussing the importance of being reading role models ☺️ 📚 #PGCE #UEL #teaching #readers #reading #stories #story #teachers #teaching

What a debut by Aube Rey Lescure! Confidently and engagingly written, with complex and believable characters. Loved getting an insight into the changes in 21st century China and its relationship with the West. A very deserving Women's Prize nominee. #book #books #reading #read

Today on the UEL Primary PGCE, each student wrote a Reading for Pleasure pledge- the first small step they will take when they start placement to help build a love of reading in the children they teach! #PGCE #UEL #readingforpleasure #reading #schools #education

After hearing SF Said speak at UKLA conference this Summer, I had to read his book Tyger. I feel like this could open up so much rich discussion with KS2/KS3 learners. And adults to be fair- because I loved it! #reading #readingforpleasure #book #books #bookreview

Another kindle read- this time a super bingeable novel by Rebecca Wait. Such interestingly written characters. Absolutely raced through it! #BookoftheDay #bookreviews #book #books #read #readingforpleasure
