What are you and the kids reading tonight?

[KittenMitts3]

My older DH is reading 'Nation' - fantastic story, I've read it too.
My SE is having Farmer Duck, then the ebook Slippy the Slimy Slug!
I'm going to settle with a cup of tea (or a glass of wine), then look at my 'Now' magazine.

What are you all reading?

Lemony Snicket with DD - we're up to The Miserable Mill.

Expect it will be Loveykins by Quentin Blake for the third night in a row with DS!

I've just started 'War & Peace' - wish me luck...

Just started Moonfleet as a bedtime story for dd. We've been reading various Gerald Durrell books for ages - I like them, but glad to have a change!

DD's just finished a graphic novel version of the second Artemis Fowl book - it was an accidental order from the library (she meant to order the normal book) but she says it was pretty good. I'm half way through "End this Depression Now" but have diverged into some Robin Hobb for light relief

The gruffalo and the very hungry caterpillar tonight.

Follow the Swallow (Julia Donaldson), two Little Red Train stories and an Amelia Bedelia for DD1. That's not my Bear and Hungry Caterpillar for DD2. The Girl in Times Square (Paulina Simmons) for me. A

I'm half way through Cartoon Kid by Jeremy Strong with ds (6).

I'm reading The Great Gatsby for my book group.

I'm half way through Cartoon Kid by Jeremy Strong with ds (6).

I'm reading The Great Gatsby for my book group.

I'm reading Gerald Durrell's My family and other animals. DS is reading Philip Reeve, Scrivener's moon.

This is a fantastic thread topic, thanks for starting it!

Famous 5 dd1 , Peter Pan dd2, me the tory graph ( as at parents)

DS had Where the Wild Things are tonight. I'm reading Quirkology by Richard Wiseman.

DD had Zog, Stickman and Tabby McTatt tonight. I'm reading The Children's Book by AS Byatt.

DD had Squirrel Nutkin at bedtime. Not that she has gone to sleep and is now sitting on the sofa 'reading' (she's 2) a pamphlet called How to raise a healthy cat. .

I am off night time reading because I stay up too late, but I do have a trashy book that I'm looking forward to starting.

DD had 'Peppa Meets the Queen (2012 special title) AGAIN and Jesus Calms the Storm AGAIN

I have just started 'Amsterdam' by Ian McEwan, left behind by a family member.

Read The Borrowers Afield to my two DSs and finished it.
I'm reading Jaws

DS (11) is reading The Hour, which is about someone trying to break a cycling record, and has a fair bit of inappropriate language apparently

DH was reading The Hour before DS stole it and is filling in with the New Scientist until he gets it back.

DD (8) is reading a Worst Witch book, not sure which one.

I am reading Stranger House by Reginald Hill.

The DDs chose Princess Polly's Potty and Stickman tonight.

I just finished Rites by Sophie Columbeau and now have nothing to read!

Choccy, Amsterdam is awesome, as is anything by Ian McEwan actually. Looking forward to his new one.

DD2(2) had gruffalo and some Dora nonsense read to her. DD1 (8) is reading The Magic of Reality by Richard Dawkins.....

oh and I'm reading How I won the yellow jumper

DS (7) is reading Charlie & the Great Glass Elevator.

I'm reading Alone in Berlin

With DS (3.7) I read Katie Morag and the 2 Grandmothers (which DD was very put out about because it's her library book!) and with DD (7) we read a bit of the Usborne Puzzle Balloon Race book.

I've just downloaded The Choiring of the Trees to my Kindle so am planning to start that when I go to bed.

I have just finished reading the first 'Worst Witch' book with DD (6)........ forgotten how much I loved them when I was little. And also how much JKR must have robbed loads of ideas from them!

DS (3) opted for The Hungry Caterpillar tonight.

Me- Some free crime thriller from the kindle, read so many lately they are merging into one. It features a scottish detective who is currently the suspect in the murder he was investigating. Its ok for a freebie.

Ds1 (6) is reading book 6 of the Ranger's apprentice series; dd2 (3) has Katie Morag and Tim and Lucy go to sea. I am laughing over Jasper Fforde's latest Thursday next book.

DS is reading Stig of the Dump

DD is reading Toms Midnight

I'm lowering the tone by reading 50 Shades (in my defence someone gave it to me when they finished it so I thought I'd see what the fuss is about ...honest!)

Have just read the Usborne Nativity book and Guess How Much I Love You to dd (2.8 - chosen by her) and once I've written my risk assessment for the upcoming German exchange trip I'm going to start a new Peter James on the kindle :)

DS2: Iggle Piggle Lost his blanket

DD1: Five on a Treasure Island (I'd forgotten how much George hates being a girl and there's an awful lot of twinkling between her and Julian)

DS1: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (almost at the end and I'm wondering how he's going to react to what happens to Cedric Diggory)

Me: Orb Sceptre Throne by Ian Esslemont (nothing like a meaty fantasy of an evening)

I must have read out loud for about an hour and a half tonight. Need some wine.
