It's been a while!

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I went on a holiday where I had no internet so no blogging to be had there. Then i got back and started work again for the year. That has been all sorts of crazy. For startes I don't have my own room any more so I have to move classrooms every lesson, but I did get a funky trolly to carry all my stuff. I feel the need to steam punk the thing but I just had to work out a design. Secondly I have 2 extention classes and a stage 2 upper school so that means sooooo much more planning than I used to have to do. Weekends have been taken up marking, making homework and prepareing for the next week.

Anyway, that is boring real life stuff. The exciting news is that not only have I already read 17 books this year (18 and 19 well on the way to compleation as well.) but, most exciting of all. I had my 30th birthday and had a big party and instead of asking for small things that aren't much bother when people asked me what I wanted, I responded with "something spectacular" and boy did they deliver.  

Pictures to come but the pinicle was my awsome partner who got me (some how, I love eBay) an American first edition, signed Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy. To top it off I got presented with it at my party (a week before my birthday) so I got to show off. Needless to say I cried. This book is now, instantly my prized possesion. Douglas Adams Touched My Book!

So, will post some pictures of all the other cool stuff I got soon and some reviews of the books read so far this year. Well on track to reaching my goal of 70 books this year. Yay!

Look what I got!

Look what came in the mail and was sitting on the door step when I got home from work. I will admit that I haven't read the second book yet but I could not pass up the opportunity to get this when I saw the post for McNally Jackson Bookstore in America on my Tumblr feed.
