Summer is coming! And with summer comes tons of time to dig into the books I never had the time for during the school year. Here are some books I’m looking forward to reading the coming weeks. What are you reading during summer? Also, it’s my birthday today. Wheee! Right now I’m probably enjoying the […]
Anya from On Starships and Dragonwings blogged about Instant Book Gratification, and her post made me think. She talks about how as a blogger, she doesn’t experience the awesomeness of immediately starting a book after buying it any more. Although I do miss that, I realised I missed getting books from the library way more. […]

Person #1 also enjoys watching series like Desperate Housewives, Gilmore Girls and Scrubs. Person #2’s favourite movie is Sleepy […]
Blogging is all about the books… Right? That’s the subject Rachel from Fiktshun posted about this Thursday. You can find the article on her blog here. What she points out here is something I’ve been thinking about too lately – the fact that it’s possible to be a book blogger without actually having to read […]
All of us that have been blogging long enough have encountered it: the dreaded blogging slump. It sneaks up on you and pounces on you the moment you aren’t paying attention.
