About 4 years ago while on holiday I had got fed up with exahusted my own holiday reading so borrowed one of DDs (she was 10 at the time) It was one of the Robert Muchamore "Cherub" books and I found it fun, escapist stuff and have read several others since then.

While on holiday this year she was in stitches over a book called "Spud" by a South African writer called John van de Ruit. I borrowed it at the weekend and have just finished it. Marvellously funny book!

However, she still has not managed to interest me in the Twilight saga.

Which books have your DCs introduced you to?

The 'His Dark Materials' books by Philip Pullman. Everyone should read them.

(DS is only three, but my Much Younger Cousin used to recommend books to me).

I read one of the Louise Rennison books on a plane once & embarrassed dd by snorting all the time!

Really liked one called "How I Live Now" (I think)
