The Rosie Project (and a little about my weekend)

Lately …
Life takes its toll sometimes, and once you are feeling ‘obliged’ to do something, it often takes the fun out of it. I guess that is how I felt about this blog. I have been reading a lot recently, and...

Hello September!
I can’t quite believe that it is September already! I keep seeing Christmas advertisements everywhere (now I can start making a list of books I’d like …). The holidays have gone so fast – but I am...

Facebook Post: ‘Top Ten Books’
I recently participated in the Facebook ‘Top Ten Books’ phenomenon. It was insightful to see the literary (and not so literary!) tastes of other bookworms. There were also some pleasant surprises, too,...

Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse
As expected, To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, is an amazing novel. For a number of reasons , though, it was not as amazing as Mrs. Dalloway. I didn’t care for the characters in the same way, nor...
