I am kind of late with this. I blame internetlessness. I might not have time to post my list today (I’m blogging from work and I have limited time. Very limited). I will attempt to come in early tomorrow before work and post the rest then.
1. Did you discover a new author?
Libba Bray
2. Where was [...]

My internet has broken down and I haven’t had a chance to get it fixed yet, thus the lack of updates.
I just thought you might want to know.
Since I can’t really do much else right now (I’m logging in, very briefly, from work to type this. Internetlessness has freed up lots of time for reading, [...]

I am made of epic fail. This is a fact that most people know about me, but perhaps Kim L and Banquo know it more than most. See, back in April there was that quotation contest I held. Let me remind you—April. Do you think I sent out the prizes back then? Exactly. I didn’t. [...]

Mrs S at Blue Archipelago is hosting a new reading challenge I just couldn’t resist joining. It’s called the July Book Blowout and the goal is to read as many books as you can during the month of July.
Since I’m going to be working full-time this month, I won’t set my goal very [...]

I’m way behind on my reviews and I think at this point it’s probably just easier to give up and face that I won’t get around to writing about all the books I’ve read this month. At least I haven’t read very much this week—only about half a book—as I’ve simply not had time. I [...]

I have been tagged for two memes.
The first one is from T Y and seems to be about books in general.
*A book that made you laugh: Apocalypso by Robert Rankin. The Most Amazing Man Who Ever Lived by same.
*A book that made you cry: Fool’s Fate by Robin Hobb. About three quarters of the way [...]

You may, if you’ve read this blog a while, remember that I read Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight books a few months back. I found them quite okay, almost addictive, though I had a few problems with certain things (and I don’t actually quite understand why I liked them, but that’s another matter), and this I [...]

Dewey at The Hidden Side of a Leaf is holding a read-a-thon on the 28th of June. She’s held one (more?) before, but that was before I got into book blogging properly again, so I missed the last one. I’ve been toying with the idea of doing it solo now that I’m on vacation, [...]

I never posted my reading stats for April, mostly because I didn’t read more than two books that month, so I didn’t feel like there was a point to it. In May, however, my lust for reading came back with a vengeance. The monthly total for May ended up forty books, and I don’t know [...]

Since I last spent a couple of hours updating with reviews (that’d be last night), I have read seven books, which means I am now caught up with my personal goal of reading an average of four books a week. I was way behind on that after my reading slump back in March/April, but after [...]
