June Summary
Every month I claim that this will be the one when I finally get up to date with reviews, but I think it’s finally time to admit that I am a very, very long way behind now. However, I’m considering this a positive thing as the time is looming near when I’m not going to [...]
May Summary
Another month gone by already and still I’m not caught up with my review backlog. I am, however, much closer to being up to date than I was this time last month, so perhaps June will be the month that I finally get there. May has been yet another very busy month in the non-reading [...]
One Book, Two Book, Three Book, Four… and Five…
I don’t usually post at the weekend, but I’ve really enjoyed seeing this bookish list popping up all over my Google Reader, started by Simon from Stuck in a Book. I love a chance to be nosy and see what other people are reading and buying, so I thought I would join in too. Besides, [...]
April Summary
Well, so much for my plans to be back on track with reviews by the beginning of May: April is well and truly over and I’m further behind than ever! There seems to have been so much going on in the real world this month, including three amazing burlesque shows, two entertaining theatre trips, two [...]
March Summary
Where on earth has March gone? It seemed to crawl by when I was in the middle of it, but suddenly here we are, six days into April and I haven’t managed to post reviews for a single March book yet. In fact, I still have two lurking around from February. This is a combined result of [...]
A Time of Abstinence
I’m not a religious person in any way, shape or form, but I enjoy taking part in a lot of the old rites and traditions now associated with the church calendar. Consequently, Tuesday evening heralded an entertaining time in the kitchen as my parents and I attempted to toss pancakes with varying degrees of success. I [...]
February Review
Now, I know that the end of January slipped by without a review post, but I decided that if I don’t start writing them now I never will. I like the idea of having a proper summary of what I’ve read each month, particularly for months like this when I’m so very far behind. It’ll [...]
In my mailbox
“In my mailbox” is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren in which people share the books that they have acquired that week. For one reason or another (chiefly not being home at the weekends) I’ve not done one of these for a month now. Consequently, the book haul looks rather horrendous, I know, [...]
In my mailbox
“In my mailbox” is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren in which people share the books that they have acquired that week. Once again, this is a fortnightly edition for me, thanks to a very busy weekend last week. I have a feeling this is not going to be good news for the [...]
In my mailbox
“In my mailbox” is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren in which people share the books that they have acquired that week. Father, forgive me, for I have sinned. It has been two weeks since my last confession. Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear. Well, it seems I do nothing by halves. Not [...]
