DREAM THIEVES! This may be all we talk about when we meet next – 3 weeks!

Also, wasn’t the Viking ship amazeballs?? I liked the chess pieces too & the jewellery was incredibly well preserved. Was your viewing really crowded too though? We had to queue for one case near the boat.

My May reading was sloooooow. I’ve read a few books this month, but still not really got going this year.

Sounds like you have a great May no wonder you didn’t have so much time read with all that excitement. My May was also very busy but with course work instead! I hope June is a better reading month for you.

I can’t believe I haven’t read those Stiefvater books yet. Sounds like you had an amazing May; sometimes being out and about is better than reading.

You did all of that in May and yet you are berating yourself for things you didn’t do! Astonishing. LOL

Sorry – you read the classic the King Must Die and you thought, “okay, but didn’t stand out”? Amazing! This woman made me feel as if I was there in Ancient Greece and persuaded me that this is how the story of Theseus could have happened. If “meh” was your reaction, I guess you won’t enjoy Mary Stewart or Rosemary Sutcliff either.

Multicultural is good, but don’t bash yourself for not having read any in May. Just enjoy what’s there. That’s what reading is about.

Sounds like you had a good time in London. Have you ever seen the Sutton Hoo ship in the British Museum?
