Books

I managed to finish “We’re British” and even passed the “Citizenship test” at the end of the book. Well it wasn’t really that difficult if you read the book carefully.

My reading challenge

This year I want to read more books. It’s all very well to read online, newspapers and magazines, but nothing beats a good book.

I have accumulated a lot of books which want to be read, …
