OU Reading for Pleasure Book Blether's Maths Recommendations!

On 9th February, Rich Charlesworth and Krista Greenwood hosted a 'Book Blether' - a discussion thread on Twitter by the @OURfP (Open University Reading for Pleasure) group, where teachers recommend books to each other. The topic of this session was Maths. Here's what they came up with!
