What Am I Reading?

Since I last blogged about the books I am reading I have guzzled up quite a few. The two that I would like to give a special mention are: Ella on the Outside by another great SCBWI writer, Cath Howe and the classic Mixed Up Files of Mrs Basil E Frankweiler. I know I'm breaking my own rules by telling you my opinion of these books but they are both awesome but for very different reasons. I've not quite done it yet but I will write full reviews of both books on Goodreads.

I have also recently read The Time Travelling Cat (and the Egyptian Goddess) by Julia Jarmen, Liar and Spy by Rebecca Stead, Warriors - Into The Wild by Erin Hunter, The Great Unexpected by Sharon Creech, Poppy Pym and the Pharaoh's Curse, See You in the Cosmos by Jack Cheng, The Snow Spider by Jenny Nimmo, The Cradle of all Worlds by Jane Doe, The Wild Magic bit Celine Kiernan (Raggedy Witches), The Unforgotten Coat by Frank Cottrell Boyce, Frozen in Time by Ali Sparkes, The Great Blue Yonder by Alex Shearer, The Curse of the Nomed by BB Taylor, The Hurting by Lucy Van Smit and I am re-reading Shine by Candy Gourlay. I have just started The Golden Acorn by Catherine Cooper. I've read a couple of adult books too but they don't count! Told you writers read a lot!
What about you? Are you reading something Christamassy yet? Getting excited?
So far I have given away 21 copies of my books signed as Christmas presents for kids in care. Are you one of those kids? Be great to hear from you, but make sure you use an adult's email address if you want to contact me. 
I'm hoping to give away some more, but don't forget you can always buy a copy of one of my books and have it signed to you or to someone you know as a special Christmas gift. Just click here: buy books
