Matilde

Absolutely delightful. I really wish I'd read this when I was a kid - I would have related to and loved Matilda so much!

It’s a book written f Leggi tutto

"How does putting sawdust and oil in a car's gearbox make it run smoother?" "The funniest parts are when Miss Trunchbull hurled the kids out of the classroom, Leggi tutto

My first read of 2022, and I ADORED it! One of my reading goals for 2022 is to read classics (and books in general) that have been on my TBR for ages!

5 stars for another Roald Dahl masterpiece! He adds a way of life, in the form of magic, to his characters. Many have mentioned to me that they read several of his books when they were children. I guess I am just one of those people that missed out reading him when I was younger however, I am extrem Leggi tutto
