Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator is a good but weird read. Not so much a sequel as much as it is a slightly related acid trip 😂

Reviews are certainly interesting! There seem to be a big range in opinions on what age is appropriate.

Everyone ends up fine in the Chocolate Factory, but not the case here. I stopped when the chapter ahead included the entire world (through TV and radio) watching and listening to the screams of a space crew getting murdered by aliens who are also hunting Charlie and his family.

Lots of comments about how bad or boring the book is compared to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, too.

Perhaps one to start reading, and see if the kids are enjoying it.
