Because I just can’t resist a book meme.

As recently reported, I splurged with birthday book tokens recently and [...]

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 [...]

Grab the nearest book.
Open it to page 56.

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 [...]
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.

2) What book do you own the most copies of?
Jane [...]

“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 [...]
I do like a good meme, as you all know, and here’s one I’ve seen on a few blogs recently, most recently An Open Letter by a Feminist. It seems to be based on the Top 100 Books from the BBC Big Read a few years ago, though a few titles are different. I have [...]
I have been tagged in a meme by the lovely Simon at Stuck in a Book. Unfortunately I still need more time to decide on my 10 rules of life, so I’m going to answer the other meme on his blog about the books I read this year. It seemed fitting for New Year’s Eve.
