Darcey & Elizabeth, 7K, are awarded their 25 book reading acheivement badge.
How did you pass the time during lock down? For Darcey and Elizabeth they used all of their free time to achieve their silver reading badge by reading and reviewing 25 books each!
Darcey, 7K.
What is your favourite book?
I love the series of unfortunate events by Lemony Snicket and I'm also really into the Princess Diaries at the moment. I really like books that make me laugh. I like the 'diary style' writing, you get to really understand the characters thoughts and feelings.
What have you enjoyed the most about reading during lockdown?
I get great pleasure out of reading, it makes me happy and I have a sense of accomplishment when I finish a book. I feel that I have experienced someone else's story in my head and I find new role models.
What advice do you give other students?
Read if it makes you happy, but if its not your thing then that is ok. Pick the type of books you enjoy, don't worry if you change you mind halfway through a book and fall in love with the stories.
Elizabeth, 7K
What is your favourite book?
I really like reading a series of books, and books which have been made into films. I am currently reading the Maze Runner series, there are currently 3 films but 5 books so I'm excited to find out what happens next. Adventure and Si-fi books are my favourite.
What have you enjoyed the most about reading during lockdown?
I really like zoning out and enjoying the time on my own. I like imagining the worlds and characters in the books.
What advice do you give other students?
Do not judge a book by its cover! I took part in the PHSG Christmas reading challenge, where you picked a book for the holidays all wrapped up. I would never have chosen the book if I saw it on the shelf but I really loved it. Make sure you read the introduction's on the back before you make your choice.
