What we're reading...

Yesterday's 'photo prompt' on Fat Mum Slim's photoaday challenge was: WHAT YOU'RE READING. I added a photo of the chapter book I'm reading Ella at the moment, but then decided to do it as a quick blog post too :)
This is the photo I added to the May Photoaday:
We finished it last night. Roald Dahl's: MATILDA. It was one of my childhood faves so I was pretty keen when Ella expressed interest in me reading to her. It was her first 'chapter book' experience.....and she LOVED it :) Each night, we'd curl in her bed together & I'd read her 1 chapter. To my surprise, she sat still each night.....so caught up in the story, and really listening to the storyline. It was magic!! She's already onto me about which chapter book we'll do next :) {probably another Roald Dahl....coz they're my fave!}
As well as Matilda, Ella {aged 4} has been enjoying Mem Fox's books lately, especially Possum Magic. She's also into 'searching' books {where she has to find hidden objects in busy pictures}, and Golden Books have a been a popular choice from her bookshelf lately :)
As for Mr Ryder {aged 6 months} .....he's loving SPOT books. Must be the simple colours & illustrations...and the cute dog. But everytime I read him his WHERE'S SPOT? book....he lights up with excitement :)
And, ME: well I'm currently reading The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss. It's taking me forever to get through....because I'm finding it hard to actually have time to read haaa, but it's a very interesting book....a lot of food for thought! As usual, I've riddled the book in yellow highlighter & pen scribbled notes for future reference ;)
And of course {I always make time for} I'm enjoying reading blogs. Checkout my blogroll up top to see who I'm enjoying at the moment :) {and that's just some....I like to rotate & refresh my list of daily reads regularly to mix things up a bit!}
What are you or your family reading at the moment?
