I think you did great. I barely managed 3 books in September. For me its because of my kids being back to school and all that homework they get, plus my favorite Fall tv programs are back on so I'm not reading as much. <br /> <br /><a href="http://thebookworm07.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://thebookworm07.blogspot.com/</a>The Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10217390642323530030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963292547354990076.post-53124545126179210532010-10-03T21:30:20.008+01:002010-10-03T21:30:20.008+01:00Can't wait to see what you thought of The Hist...Can't wait to see what you thought of The Historian!

A...I thought I was doing well having completed two! Ahahaha! I used to crack through a book a day (Ok still did with the True Blood ones!) but just don't have the time in recent years. Kids! Don't half get in the way of your reading eh? ;)<br /><br />People were saying the same about Devons school - it's just been turned into one of these academies and a lot of people opted to send their kids to the pay for schools further away. That just seriously wasn't an option for us and it was more a case of which academy site she would go to. Honestly, much as she moans about it (but she would whatever school she was in - she has never loved school like Phoebe does) she has come along in leaps and bounds there. She is in the top set, her confidence is just through the roof, her friend circle has grown. Make your own mind up with the school :)I think it's a lot like reviews with books and films - no-one is ever going to agree. I know it's more serious than that but you know what I mean. They'll be fine I bet :) Scary though isn't it?

You read some great stuff this past month and I'm totally looking forward to your reviews. By the way, I am so jealous of the cover of your copy of <i>The Graveyard Book</i>!

My kids go to the elementary school with the highest poverty level in our town, but the teachers are awesome and the school has done better than the others in it's evaluations from the government and student testing, so you just never know.Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963292547354990076.post-81294817483871083412010-10-01T16:48:40.800+01:002010-10-01T16:48:40.800+01:00It does sound like you've had a stressful mont...It does sound like you've had a stressful month! I know what you mean about schools. When our son was headed to middle school, I heard horrible things about our local school. I went to check it out and loved it and our son had a great experience there.
