What are you reading, what sort of books do you love and why?
I tend to read non fiction during the day and fiction at night. I've just finished a brilliant book called How the World Made the West, by Josephine Quinn, which shows how interconnected the world was and always has been and how its only been in the last couple of hundred years that Greek and Roman have come to dominate our cultural history. MNow I'm reading a book on The Pirates Code, about the actual laws of the sea and how pirates opperated.
Fir fiction I mostly read crime novels, not true crime though, I like my crime and detectives fictional. I think crime fiction appeals to me as the good guys usually win and I can understand the emotional context of the characters which I find hard in more mainstream fiction.
I read mostly middle-grade fantasy. People write the BEST books for middle schoolers. My favorite book of all time is Good Different by Meg Eden Kuyatt. It's very easy and it's a novel in verse, but it's the best book in existence. I also really like the Wings of Fire series.
