Our introductory meeting for the beginning of a new year, and we first agreed our ground rules:
Read - try to finish each book
Listen to Each Other
Keep an Open Mind
No shouting or Messing Around
Then we had a lovely chat about the books we like the most and what we like to read.
We talked about how we choose books - by reading the blurb, or being recommended from school, or reading the first sentence. We confessed that quite often we read late into the night. And in general we prefer the books to the movies - because as Rachel says 'they miss the exciting bits', and Sophia points out 'they're the originals' and Dylan agrees, recommends reading the book first, because it will have more description.
We like a wide range of different things, but there's a
definite preference for fantasy, ('because they can write anything they
want'), mysteries and adventures. Sofie particularly likes 'sad
mysteries' and Dylan likes to be scared. Sophia says her dad says she's
read more books than he has!
