What are we reading this week?

Inspired by John's wall, 

I thought of asking all of you to share something you've read or have been reading this week.
Search for an article, a piece of news or a blog entry or some gossip perhaps (!) that caught your eye and post it here.
It could also be an extract from a book you've been reading. Write about it or something  from it.
I'm sure all of you have so many different interests that it would be extremely interesting to see what we can inform each other about and what a variety of topics we could discuss or how much we can learn about each other.

I can't wait for your comments with links! Don't keep me waiting, please:)

If you're wondering about John and his wall. There's a link to take you there on the right hand column under 'Links created by students' - enjoy!

This is what I've read and really enjoyed tonight. You all know what a 'breakfast bar' or ''cereal bar'' is but do you know what a ''mind bar'' is?
“Oh,” thought Katie, suddenly feeling a bit strange. For a moment she couldn’t quite figure out what it was. Every year her mum put on a very special Easter Egg hunt. Four or five of Katie’s best friends would come over, and they would search the house and the garden. It helped that Katie’s mum was a witch, because she could have all sorts of extra fun – she could make the eggs appear and disappear quite suddenly – she could even make them roll along the ground, grow bigger and smaller, or change colour in your hand. When the children were very young, they just accepted all this as something that happened only at Katie’s house – but as they grew older they of course realised that her mother had some powers that were a bit out of the ordinary. They didn't actually ask “Is your mum a witch?” because that would not be polite, but it was an open secret. Katie had always looked forward to the Easter Egg hunt in the past, but this year – well – she wasn't quite sure.

“Ten years ago, Alice and her three year old son moved to a new house. It was new for them, but in reality it was a very old, dark and cold house. The truth is that Alice had noticed how cold the building was, from the first time she got in, but it was summer and she thought that the heating was turned off for a long time. Unfortunately she was wrong…”

Sounds interesting and somewhat ominous. Is it a thriller?

Unknown said...

It's a mystery story, which I red last week in a magasine...
