Desert Island Books




Hmm... five books to take with me in case I ever got stuck on a deserted island.In no particular order

1. His Dark Materials Trilogy by Phillip Pullman; The Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife & The Amber Spyglass ( I'm being fairly sneaky here. I sure i would have brought an omnibus or a boxed set before the aeroplane  ride)

2. The Dream Merchant by Isabel Hoving.

3. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

4. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

5. The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness (can i get this trilogy in a boxed set too?)

Yep. That would just about do it I think.

Maybe a survival book like Hatchet may help. Unfortunately far too short. Would not make the cut.

I wonder what my boys in Room 17 think of that list...what would they keep? What would they change?

Haere Mai

Haere Mai. Welcome. C'mon in. Don't worry about taking off your shoes. You're fine.

So rather than read a book and tell people how great it was,  I thought I'd jot down a few thoughts so that others can comment. I hope that the boys in Room 17 will post comments here about what we're reading.
