As of tomorrow I’ll be in San Francisco! It’s just for a week (don’t worry, I’m not defecting) and I’ve got a few posts scheduled to go up while I’m away, but I might be a little slow to publish/respond to comments while I’m out of town. In the meantime, you can see what I’m READ MORE

THE SUNDAY REVIEW | WIND/PINBALL – HARUKI MURAKAMI
Haruki Murakami’s newest book is actually a set of two novels (or novellas) that were the very first stories he ever wrote. This is the first time in years these two stories have been available in print – much less in English – and they provide a fascinating glimpse of this venerable writer’s beginnings. READ MORE
STACKING THE SHELVES | #85
I had a fantastic week for books this week. Not only did I get some great books I’ve been dying to get my hands on, but I spent a few days with my cousin who loves books at least as much as I do. We visited two of my favourite local used book stores, READ MORE

WEEKLY UPDATE | AND WHAT A WEEK IT WAS
I missed this week’s My Week On Wednesday post, but I’ve had quite a week, you guys. The first and most exciting thing, is, of course, the launch of this new blog! It’s been quite the journey to get to this point. I might write a full post about the process, but suffice it to READ MORE
STACKING THE SHELVES | #82
Time to look at the books I added to my shelves this week with Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews! Not necessarily books I bought – also includes books I borrowed, was given or otherwise ended up with. Weeks I don’t buy any books I’ll scramble around my shelves and find some I READ MORE

END OF YEAR BOOK SURVEY | 2014
2014 has been quite a year for me here on the blog. Not only did I post consistently all year long, but I read more than a book a week on average, re-did the look of my blog (twice) and added a couple of features (The Sunday Review and Book Thoughts On Thursday). Book blogging READ MORE

I’M ON VACATION!
As you read this, I’m on a plane somewhere over either the ocean or the continental USA on my way to San Francisco! I’ll be gone for a week or so, but don’t worry, I’ve got plenty of posts scheduled. I just might be a little slower publishing and responding to comments than usual! In READ MORE
In Memory of Maya
Maya Angelou’s books have been on my TBR list for longer than I’d care to admit, and yet I have never read any of them. Today she passed away, and her death has me thinking about what I do know about her. Despite never having read her work (and don’t worry, that is a situation READ MORE
Time for a Change!
Wait! Stop! No, you’re not in the wrong place – I’ve just updated my look a little bit! Consider it my blog’s version of a new summer ‘do. I got so tired of my old header which, let’s face it, was just a really bad quality photo of my recently-read shelf. But I’m no genius READ MORE

UPCOMING RELEASE | VERONICA MARS: THE BOOK. SERIOUSLY.
Ridicule if you must, but I’ve spent a large portion of my leftover vacation days in the past week re-watching Veronica Mars. I’ve watched the show a few times now, and yet somehow I just never get sick of it. Sure, the video quality doesn’t seem great compared to new shows, and the fashion choices READ MORE

BOOK MEMES & PICS | JUST ONE MORE CHAPTER BEFORE BED….
So I’m reading Insurgent, the second book in Veronica Roth’s Divergent trilogy. I’m definitely suffering from this today. I have a feeling I will be until I’ve finished the series. But it’s totally worth it.
BOOK SWAP!!!!
My friends Katrin and Martha (along with three other awesome ladies) are hosting an amazing swap – Booktober!
