A slight cold this last week – otherwise known as that debilitating disease: Man-Flu – really bit into my reading and blogging time. I did manage to finish All Families are Psychotic, and post a pre-written review, but that was about it.
Hoping now the head has nearly fully cleared, I can get [...]

Well, this week brought to the end of a couple of things, first off was a week-and-a-half off of work, which was to use up the last of my annual holidays, and was much needed after the overtime I’ve put in recently.
I managed to get some decent reading time in, while I was at home, [...]

First off all, sorry that the blog has been a bit MIA just recently, works been a bit manic and I’ve had to work extra hours to help cover. Free time has been mostly spent in front of the TV. Not sure what will be happening next week yet, but hopefully it will be [...]

The first Sunday Salon of 2010, Wow! where did 2009 go? The last three days of December saw me wrap-up my 2009 reading with a post each day. What can I say it grew beyond all expectations as I was writing it!
A lot of bloggers are posting their reading plans for [...]

Ahem… Yes, today would be in fact my 36th birthday *gulps* But we don’t talk about that!
In addition to the two books I got for Christmas, I also got a gift card today, so I can see a visit to the bookshop over the next few days! (and it’s a gift [...]

But, I’m probably going to spend most of the [...]

Welcome Sunday Saloners, here’s hoping you Sunday is a cosy and relaxing one!
Reading plans for today include spending some quality time with #TKONLG (The Knife of Never Letting go by Patrick Ness, for those not on twitter!), which so far (251 pages in) is living up to the billing, that Nymeth and Chris, amongst others [...]

First up on the reading pile today is Les Enfants Terrible by Jean Cocteau, which I selected for the Decades Challenge, I’ve got about half the book to go, and it’s certainly very good so far.
Next up, after much nudging from Nymeth – and disapproving glances from her Twitter avatar – [...]

Well, its the second to last day in August, and September means the start of the R.I.P reading challenge!
I’m currently reading two books which I’d like to try and get finished by tomorrow evening. The New Policeman by Kate Thornton, a YA read, which I’m really enjoying.
Everyone in Kinvara is conscious that time [...]

Well, last sunday, I was looking forward to a lazy week of reading, blogging and slobbing on the sofa. Well one out of three isn’t bad!
I’m doing myself a bit of an injustice though, I have got some reading and blogging in, just not quite as much as I was planning to.
A good [...]
