To be perfectly honest, until I saw this prompt I had no idea it was National Book Lover’s Day tomorrow. Not being in the nation that celebrates it might have something to do with it. But now that I know, I suppose I’ll just try to find a little bit of time around family commitments READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BOOKS I READ IN SCHOOL & DIDN’T LIKE
I don’t remember most of the books I read in school. I vaguely remember reading Animal Farm, which I didn’t hate, but also didn’t love. I think I liked the discussion after the book more than actually reading the book itself. I did French Immersion up to grade 8 or 9, so I also read READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | GENRE FREEBIE
This week’s prompt is a genre freebie. At the moment, being summer and high time for plants and gardening, I’m obsessed with gardening and nature books. But I already did a post about the nature and gardening books I’ve read, am reading and want to read this summer, and I don’t want to get too READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
Still not feeling that great and have been busy this week – what spare time I had I spent trying to catch up on some of the chores that have been neglected because I’ve been busy hanging out with my kid and sleeping because my meds are making me feel icky! But I am hoping READ MORE
BOOK BLOGGER HOP | MY CURRENT READS
I’m currently reading a few different books, so this is a tough one to answer! I’m between the fifth and sixth books in the Wings of Fire graphic novel series, thanks to my kid who has been reading and re-reading them for months. They’re favourites, and I was lent some to read – I’m actually READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BOOKS I NEVER WROTE REVIEWS FOR
There are so many books I’ve read and not reviewed. A lot came pre-blog, but there are ongoing books I read and don’t review for all kinds of reasons. Most often it’s that I read the book, I get busy, I don’t write the review and then I can’t remember the details without re-reading the READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BEACH READS I’D RECOMMEND
This week’s prompt is books that take place at a beach or books you’d like to take to the beach. I’m not a beach person. At all. They’re too hot, the good ones are usually difficult to get to, they’re too hot or too windy, and inevitably sand gets far too intimate without any consent READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
Another busy week of ups and downs. I’ve got another lung infection, which I’m trying to keep in check without more antibiotics as I’m worried about how often I take them and the effect that has on my body and their effectiveness. It’s unpleasant but not getting worse, so I’m really hoping I’ll start seeing READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | TV SHOWS I’VE BINGE-WATCHED
All of them? These days I pretty much never watch live TV, so when I do find a show I want to watch it’s usually because there’s a season or more on one of the streaming sites I use. And if there’s a a season or more and I like it, why wouldn’t I just READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS THAT TAKE PLACE DURING WWII
I went through a phase earlier this year where I became fascinated by books that took place during WWII and sought out as many as I could find. These are some of those, as well as some previous reads that fit the theme. Good Night, Irene by Luis READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY WHAT ARE YOU READING?
Another busy and warm week here, but a fun one! It was far too hot through the middle of the week, and because I’m not good with heat I was hiding from it a good chunk of the time. But still managed to get some gardening done and spend a little time enjoying the outdoors READ MORE
BOOK BLOGGER HOP | MODERN INTERPRETATIONS OF DEAD AUTHORS
This week’s prompt: What is your opinion on modern artists’ interpretations of deceased authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Louisa May Alcott, Charles Dickens, and Jane Austen? Do you think these interpretations represent the authors correctly, or do they disrespect the authors? This is an interesting prompt. It’s hard for me to give a definitive READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | FAVE BOOK QUOTES
Oh man. I feel like this prompt comes up in one or other of my link-ups at least a couple of times a year, and each time I’m equally stumped. I listen to most of my books as audiobooks these days, so I don’t make notes or mark pages. I’m usually busy as I listen, READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS WITH HONORIFICS IN THE TITLE
This is an interesting prompt – I’ve never really thought about this before! The topic is books with honorifics (Mr., Ms., Dr. etc.) in the title. And there are so many books to choose from! I’ve got a bit of a mix – most I haven’t read, some I have, others are on my shelves READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
We’re really into summer here, and it’s been hot and muggy over the last week, making it a little difficult to do much in the afternoon other than sit in the shade and try to move as little as possible! On the plus side the garden is full of life – we’ve got more bees READ MORE
BOOK BLOGGER HOP | HOW MANY POSTS DO I PUBLISH ON MY BLOG EACH WEEK?
This week’s prompt: How many weekly bookish posts do you put on your blog and/or social media? This depends a lot on what’s happening in my life. I’ve taken blogging breaks when I was pregnant and had a baby, I’ve also stopped doing particular features because I wasn’t able to keep up with them – READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | FICTIONAL WORLDS I’D LOVE TO VISIT
There aren’t that many fictional worlds I’ve gotten to know that I have strong feelings about. There’s Middle Earth from Tolkien’s books – but most of that sounded traumatic, so I’m not very interested in going there. With the possible exception of the Hobbit Hole, which sounds cosy. Or there’s the sci-fi world of something READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS I’D LIKE TO RE-READ
There are so very many books I’d like to re-read, but I don’t do it that often because there are even more books I’d like to try reading that I haven’t read yet! I feel like this is the eternal dilemma of the voracious reader. I do re-read occasionally, but they tend to be when READ MORE
