NOW CLOSED
A 70's child, I’ve been married for a Very Long Time, and appear to have made four children, and collected one large and useless dog along the way. I work, I have four children, I have a dog… ergo, I do not do dusting or ironing. I began LittleStuff back in (gulp) 2004. I like huge mugs of tea. And Coffee. And Cake. And a steaming cone of crispy fresh fluffy chips, smothered in salt and vinegar. #healthyeater When I grow up I am going to be quietly graceful, organised and wear lipstick every day. In the meantime I *may* have a slight butterfly-brain issue.

5 August 2014
Moll Flanders – I’d been reading Dickens and thought it would be hard for an author to top that! Even today I’m a little apprehensive when approaching books from those eras as I remember half-dreading the old-fashioned use of language. As it turned out I loved the book, and about 25-30 years later studied it as part of an A-level – it seemed like a totally new book, as there were things I noted as an adult that had escaped me completely when reading purely for pleasure as a youngster , but not really thinking about what I read! I loved the sheer storytelling aspect, the way I could be transported across time, across oceans, continents, I was amazed to think what life might’ve been like back then for a character like Moll. Fingers crossed hoping for a little bit of luck to come my way now – I’m thrilled that all the little ones in my life have inherited my love of books/reading so it would be lovely to be able to give them rare treats.

I was made to read Wuthering Heights and originally hated it as I deeply disliked all of the main characters. The book is so full of hate and selfishness, I couldn’t understand the fascination and made myself reread it a couple of times. I still can’t say I love the book but I did start to appreciate the style – the brutal honesty and stark portrayal of the characters with all their flaws. It’s certainly compelling (even if it is a bit like watching a train wreck).
12 August 2014

We were made to read Goodnight Mr. Tom (hands down,STILL, one of the best books I’ve read). I also loved “typical” school books such as Lord of the Flies and Romeo and Juliet. That being said, when I took A Level Literature, we had to read Hardy’s Tess. I didn’t think I was going to make it through that final A Level year. That book very nearly finished me off. I was also in a book club as a child – 25 books for bronze, another 50 for silver and another 100 for gold – at the local library. My mum MADE me read The Hobbit, much to my disgust. Definitely one of her finest parenting moments. What a book! And the start of a massive fandom for me.

I was very surprised that I really enjoyed The Hound of The Baskervilles when I was at school.

I Don’t really remember reading a bad book at school. I don’t think i was over keen on the books we studied in English Lit class.
27 August 2014
I HATED the Wide Range Readers which we had to read all the way through from beginning to end. I was a slow reader as I am dyslexic, but actually a good reader, and so I was stuck on easy books for ages. I didn’t get to read real books in school until I went to secondary school and then I loved them all. I think we read “I am David” first and I definitely enjoyed that.

I can’t remember, which has made me feel so old. I do remember hating when I finished reading a book in primary school, simply because I’d have to tell the teacher then choose another from the library. I was very shy.
