Let the reading continue.
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 we dont get through loads but now its lengthy chapter books am I missing out
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 yearI 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.

Yes my eldest doesnt read at all now much to my sadness. Secondary school and too much going on in the phone@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.
Haha I remember those days. Monkey Puzzle is my favourite JD bookI don’t know. If I read The Smartest Giant in Town 382 times then do I log it once or 382 times?
my favourite is snail and the whale but the request is always the smartest giant book (my least favourite!!) every.god.damn.timeYes 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.

Depends. Are you tracking number of books or number of pages?!I don’t know. If I read The Smartest Giant in Town 382 times then do I log it once or 382 times?
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.

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 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?

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 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.

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.Interesting to know.
