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 [...]

Last Monday I found myself in Simrishamn with time on my hands and nothing much to do (I was going for an X-ray at the hospital and the bus schedule is crap, which meant I had nearly two hours to kill before my appointment). I had toyed with the idea of going to the library, [...]

I’m sorry I haven’t tallied the scores for the quotation contest yet (I expect to do it later today). First my internet was down (I hate when that happens), then I sort of got so caught up in watching old episodes of Scrubs that I forgot everything else.
As there were only two entrants, counting up [...]

The deadline for the quotation contest was supposed to be tonight, but I’m moving it to same time next week instead. Partly because I have a crazy workweek coming up and won’t really be online much, but also because there’s only one entry so far.
Come on, people, you can make a guess, surely?

Eva at A Striped Armchair had a contest up for Buy a Friend a Book week. I didn’t participate, but it did inspire me enough that I am going to proceed to steal the idea from her (I’m sure she doesn’t mind).
I’m still stuck in a rut when it comes to my reading, so I [...]

My reading slump really made a difference in the amount of books I read during March. It started somewhere around the middle of the month and only two of the total fourteen I read, I read after the 15th.
March books:
När kommer du tillbaka?; Marika Kolterjahn, C
Tenderness; Robert Cormier (not reviewed)
Dragon’s Bait; Vivian Vande Velde, C
True [...]

The bad news I received last week was of the death of my grandmother on dad’s side of the family. She was old, but I didn’t at all expect it. Now grandfather is on his own and we’re all a bit worried about him, as his memory isn’t what it once was. He seems to [...]
