| Write a blurb for a work of fiction (Russian or English) without revealing its title or character names for your classmates to guess what book it is.
Give an example of compulsive reading you have had recently.
Describe a book you know which was ahead of its time.
Have you read any memoirs? Did you like it? Why (not)?
Was there any book in your History of English Literature course that you would call compulsive reading? What was the most heavy going one?
Do you read in bed? What is good bedtime reading, in your opinion?

| Do you read in bed? What is good bedtime reading, in your opinion?
To be honest, bed is my favourite place to read. Because I have some difficulty sleeping, I don't fall asleep as soon as I sit down on my bed, so reading in it is the best option for me. Reading in my home clothes, under a warm blanket, with a cup of herbal tea and a small torch is a ritual that always makes me feel calmer and happier.
Reading in bed can be different. If it's a book on ancient literature or a boring non-fiction, you'll only fall asleep faster. If it is a very interesting novel with which it will not hurt to spend one sleepless night and knock down the regime - even better. During quarantine, I often read at night, which is how I managed to finish a book a day. Thanks to this experience, reading in bed became a special ritual of calm and bliss for me.

Acclaimed as a page-turner, Queen’s memoirs offer a gripping and compelling chronicle of a life. The breathtaking descriptions of the protagonist's struggles create a truly compulsive reading experience. This is a story that will stay with you long after you finish its final page and it is perfect for bedtime reading!

| 1) I was trying to keep a journal. 2) The idea wasn't about writing memoirs, but to reflect on personal feelings. 3) But it turned out to be a blurb to my life.
