I track the Harry Potter books that we’re reading at the moment. If we read anything else similar in length I’ll count those too.I will ask here instead. Do you track the books you read to your children? Feel like I should
I’m currently reading Mat Osman’s The Ghost Theatre and really enjoying it.
AS IF I made it here on the first page
I’m reading the new Naomi Alderman book and it feels very similar to the Power which I love so I know it’s going to be good and I kind of want to save it for Christmas when I can dedicate all my energy to reading

@Carapop lots of love, from a fellow hospital inmate.
My children are too big for stories now. They read to themselves, but I can still recite The Snail and the Whale.
I am reading some Mo Hayder, the Jack Caffrey series. They are detective thriller with a good dose of horror thrown in.

Yes similar length Id say, Ive actually bought my youngest the minalima version of the philosophers stone from Santa so we will be reading it in the new year
I don’t know. If I read The Smartest Giant in Town 382 times then do I log it once or 382 times?I will ask here instead. Do you track the books you read to your children? Feel like I should
Yes my eldest doesnt read at all now much to my sadness. Secondary school and too much going on in the phone
My youngest is starting to branch out into chapter books they can read themselves and I read the trickier ones to them at night. I will miss it when they dont want me to do it anymore.

I read children’s books for work sometimes - i track chapter books (at middle grade level so probably 200 pages) but not picture books. I do track graphic novels though which are sometimes even shorter in terms of pages and definitely have fewer words, so it’s a weird distinction!I will ask here instead.

You never really know the last time you will read to your children, it just sort of happens. And then they are grown.
I am halfway through Jane Fallon's Just got real which is an enjoyable read. I want to finish it so I can start on my Christmas books.
I keep going to pick up ink black heart and then put it back on my shelf due to the size I think I'm going to save it for the in between Christmas and NY days when I have nothing else to do but read and eat chocolate.
I've just finished Death Comes to Marlow, the second Marlow Murder Club, and think I potentially prefer them to Thursday Murder Club?

The Marlow Murder Club books are much better in my opinion - the plot is much tighter and you can tell they’re written by someone who knows the genre inside out. Looking forward to the new one out in Jan!I keep going to pick up ink black heart and then put it back on my shelf due to the size

I am also Team MMC > TMC, need to get Death Comes to Marlow.
Same reasoning, much better written, much tighter. It follows that Death in Paradise format of murder, introduce all the suspects, and then solve it with some brilliance. As I'd expect from the creator of Death in Paradise.
Interesting to know. I love TTMC so much and the way the characters interact. I agree the plot can become a bit confusing at times so intrigued now to read The Marlow Murder Club.
The main thing I do like about TTMC is the characters, I would actually like Osman to try something more character driven next time as I do think he observes people very well.
