“Early one morning I set off to explore the island. I climb the steep hillside behind the cabins, which rises about 300metres above the bay and is scattered with deep gullies, rock pools, and wet-season waterfalls. There are dozens of different ferns, vines, and rainforest trees searching for daylight under a dense canopy of wild shapes.
It’s a tough climb, but the ground eventually levels off, so I must be near the top of the hill. I get only occasional glimpses of sea or sky through the cluttered forest.
I sit on a smooth rock-shelf for ages. I’m thinking it’s quite possible that I’ve just been walking on land that no human has ever touched….”

Feeling emotional
This month’s reading is all about emotions. What reading really makes you feel, or makes you think about your feelings and other people’s feeling. This could be the time to explore stories of romance and love, or read about exciting sporting moments You may read about how to improve your performance in sport (or about sports people) as you feel the changes you need to make to be fitter.
This can also be a time to explore horror titles which make you feel fear… or thrillers, to explore feelings of suspense.
Feel Reading might also be about your favourite crafts, hobbies and interests as you read about woodworking and think about the feeling of wood in your hands, or reading about wine beer tasting methods and the feeling as you drink (and you might even be drinking as you read to help with the feeling).
