Calling all poets! 

Why don’t you enter the Foyle Young Poets Award 2013?

Or why not write about your most treasured object – something that has touched or shaped your life?  You can submit a diary entry, letter, poem, song or story to the Scottish Book Trusts Treasures page.  You could find your work included in a special book for Book Week Scotland 2013!

The deadline for both competitions is July 31 2013.

What are you reading?

 

Yes, it’s holiday time again!  What are you reading?  I’m going to be catching up with all the new YA titles on my wish list. 

I’m currently reading “You don’t know me” by Sophia Bennett .  It’s  an entertaining and thought provoking book;  looking at just what happens to a group of friends when they’re entered in an Xfactor stylee online talent contest and how the power of social media and reality TV affects their lives.  I’m loving it 🙂

Why don’t you add a comment telling me what you’re reading this summer?
