Social media has a huge impact on the world we live in today, whether or not you agree, it dictates everything that we do, how we advertise, how we portray ourselves and most of all, how much spare time we have. One of my new years resolutions this year was to put my phone down and be away from it for one to two hours each day. For people like me who are addicted to their phones (literally, i was) trust me when i say that it does a world of good.
Last year we did a Christmas read-along of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, and we enjoyed it so much that we’ve set up a Christmas Read-Along for Christmas 2016! One of our favourite things over on this blog is to read books with our friends, getting different opinions and views as you’re reading something together. It also allows you to have so many people to talk about what you’re reading with. It’s definitely worth the time and effort!
Last year we hosted a Halloween read-along of Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. We updated you on our progress throughout the holiday and it felt like the perfect book to be read when the world started getting a little more creepy and cold as we approached Halloween. This year, we will be doing the exact same!
We are coming to you again with another read-along! We love having read-alongs on this blog and getting all our friends involved with reading some of our favourite or most anticipated books! (That’s kind of a lie, we nag them all until they join in.) This time we will be reading How To Be Both by Ali Smith!
