We like books in our household. Sometimes with children it’s hard to get the quiet time needed for a really good reading session, and it’s too easy just to collapse in front of the TV on in the evening. So Thursday is reading night. As it’s now the Easter holidays our six year old stayed up a little later once his sister had gone to bed and joined us with his book of choice.

This evening my wife, son and I were reading:

• 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World by Elif Shafak
• The Twits by Roald Dahl
• Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake
