We have just started reading War Horse, a WW1 novel by Michael Morpurgo.  Albert and Joey have established an immediate bond and connection between young boy and horse.  What about them made the other know they could trust and have affection for the other so implicitly?

If you have a pet or have had a connection with an animal, tell me about the animal and why they're so special to you.

Great to see those of you who are now followers of our blog!  I would love to welcome many more!  I encourage all of you to read every one's posts about their books and comment to each other if you've read those books and what you thought. 

I have just started Mockingjay, the final installment in the captivating Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins.  It is quite a page turner and I'm sure I'll be done soon!!

For you Harry Potter followers, I'm also about to start the Order of the Phoenix, year 5.  Excited about that one too!  So for all of you who are done with the series enjoy the first installment of the final movie this weekend!!  Looking forward to seeing them all when done with the series.
