I’ve been introduced to Weekly Geeks via Gaskella’s blog this morning. I’m always up for new blogging ideas, and since I’m still wrung out from yesterday’s wonderfully successful Not the TV Book Club meeting (don’t forget you can still add your thoughts on Brodeck’s Report at any time) it seemed like a good morning to [...]

I, along with many other book bloggers, did this meme last year, reflecting on my 2008 reading. I’ve decided to do it again this year, so without further ado… Do let me know in the comments if you’ve done it this year as well.
How many books read in 2009?
So far, an even more disappointing than [...]
Sorry people, I have been meaning to blog for the last couple of days but the non-interweb-world kept having the audacity of getting in the way. I shall be writing a stiff letter of complaint to the authorities, be assured. Anyway, beetling about the interwebs yesterday, I came across a book meme that I hadn’t [...]
This meme has been dotting about Facebook rather a lot recently, so I’m transferring it to the blogosphere.
Grab the nearest book.
Open it to page 56.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
Don’t dig for your favourite book, the coolest book, or the most [...]
Today, in the absence of any content that I have to think too hard about (D-Day in 14 days!), I have yoinked another book meme from Catherine, who got it from LitLove.
Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?
I don’t particularly, though it’s less about not wanting to smudge the pages than [...]
This meme has been dotting around my favourite blogs for the last couple of weeks (thank you Catherine, Catalpa, Simon, The Little Professor) and until now I had resisted it for the simple reason that thanks to my MA taking over my life, I’ve actually only read 29 books so far this year (though this [...]
Thanks to Ruth for this one… I do like a good meme.
1) What author do you own the most books by?
Oh gosh, I’m not sure. I own every novel by Charles Dickens, except one, so he’s a possibility. I have a lot of Virginia Woolf too.
2) What book do you own the most copies of?
Jane [...]
I’m a few days late to this one, but Fleur Fisher recently tagged me in this photo meme.
“Find your 5th photo file folder, then the 5th photo in that file folder. Then pass the meme to 5 people.”
Here’s my photo:
It’s not the greatest photograph ever taken, and I’m sure experts will balk at the lack [...]
