It's World Book Day, and today my nine-year-old neice, M went to school, not at a well known book character, but as her very own character that she's written about in her books. She's pre-published, but having read her work, I think she's definately got a good career as a writer to look forward. I just wish I'd started as young.The lovely Phillipa Ashley's latest book, It Should Have Been Me, is published today, and having enjoyed her previous books immensely, I can't wait to get my copy from my poor long-suffering postman.
Today, S-S#1 arrived for a long weekend, which is fun as we haven't seen him since Christmas, tomorrow poor J is having a minor op on his sore toe (I've got to take him but will no doubt be banished from the room as I'm such a drip when the children have to have anything done), and S is off to Austria on Saturday for a ski trip with her school.
It's all go.

Sounds busy at Debs household! That's great about your neice. And she has you to encourage her to keep on wtih the writing.
(Blogger lost all my links, and I spent the entire day yesterday trying to re-link everyone. I just realised I need to link you again. I hope I can remember and get everyone back up. Not an easy task!)
Debs - thank you for reading ISHBM. How cool is that - to have a niece who goes to school on WBD as her own character she has created!
What a cool idea for her to dress up as one of her characters! Bravo!
Wow you have a lot going on this week.
Oh dear another book to go on the 'to read' list.
Busy, busy over your way!
Bravo to your niece. What a great idea - I'm sure she'll go far!
