Let's read

Here comes the time for reading. Some of you asked me in the last weeks which books you were going to read this year, and the titles are finally here.

There will be tests on both books: the end of January for the 1st one (Henry VIII and his Six Wifes) and the end of April for the 2nd one (Tales of Mystery and Imagination). Here is some information on the books.

Oxford Bookworms Library Stage 2 Henry VIII and his Six Wives
Third Edition Janet Hardy-Gould
"There were six of them - three Katherines, two Annes, and a Jane. One of them was the King's wife for twenty-four years, another for only a year and a half. One died, two were divorced, and two were beheaded. It was a dangerous, uncertain life.After the King's death in 1547, his sixth wife finds a box of old letters - one from each of the first five wives. They are sad, angry, frightened letters. They tell the story of what it was like to be the wife of Henry VIII of England."

If you interested in the story I highly recommed the TV Series "The tudors"

Oxford Bookworms Library Stage 3 Tales of Mystery and Imagination
Third Edition Edgar Allan Poe

"The human mind is a dark, bottomless pit, and sometimes it works in strange and frightening ways. That sound in the night . . . is it a door banging in the wind, or a murdered man knocking inside his coffin? The face in the mirror . . . is it yours, or the face of someone standing behind you, who is never there when you turn round?These famous short stories by Edgar Allan Poe, that master of horror, explore the dark world of the imagination, where the dead live and speak, where fear lies in every shadow of the mind . . ."
