Welcome

Welcome to my blog and website.

It brings together useful things to do with reading and vocabulary.

I hope that you can learn enjoyably by browsing the information I have collected. Maybe you already love one of the books that I have chosen; and in that case, the book can be your doorway or diving-board into understanding and remembering vocabulary words, thereby making learning the words easier and more fun.

Of course, if you haven’t read the books yet, perhaps the website will inspire you to read more.

I have tried to avoid all spoilers, so sometimes names are blocked out of the examples. Beware of spoilers from other websites that I’ve recommended via the bibliography and links though.

I am still working on these and hope to add more.

Retired doctor, currently receiving palliative anti-cancer treatment. Happily married with two children. Although I'm unfit for working, I have been reading books with the children in our local school(s). As I'm developing an amateur interest in books and literacy, now, I'm using this blog to share some information that I have collated in the process of sharing the books.
