Writing and reading

I am currently working on some educational writing. My novel View from my Window has ground to a halt mainly because I'm actually finding the subject quite depressing. I think I will focus on a happier project for a while before returning to this sad one.

Yesterday I went to Waterstones and fell for the 'buy three for two' offer. I bought a book I had seen some time ago but did not actually buy- The Yes Man by Danny Wallace and I also bought The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson and the 2007 Orange Prize winner Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. So far I've started the Yes Man and am enjoying it, never having read anything by Danny Wallace before.

I wonder how many of you bought the new Harry Potter book. There seemed to be a good supply of them in the shops.

Oh and I've just done these IQ and business acumen tests. Not sure how reliable they are but they were good fun!
