OK, so no-one read 'The Handsome Man's Deluxe Cafe.' That's OK, considering the blog was only published last week, you didn't exactly have a lot of time! Of course there's no deadline so comment away if you wish.
I am hoping for more success with April's choice which you will find under the page entitled 'Monthly Book Club.' But I will tell you here, because I am nice like that. It is 'Elizabeth is Missing.' by Emma Healey. You will, however, find out more on said page.
I appreciate it will take time to build a little following and enjoy some discussions, but I am one for perseverance, so I hang on, knowing you are out there, having a sneaky peak and then wandering off.
One day I know, you will see/read something that you will feel inspired to comment on! I look forward to hearing from you then.
As usual I am overwhelmed with too many books. I go to my local library every Friday and spend a glorious hour browsing the shelves and trying not to come away with the maximum amount allowed, which I think is 10 books. I try to limit myself to 3, but alas I usually leave with 5 or 6 tucked under my arm. There is a lovely system with the libraries here, where after 3 weeks if you are not ready to return the books, you can simply renew online. They even send you a nice little text to remind you, so that you don't have to pay any penalties. The problem is one of guilt. I renew and then wonder if someone is desperately waiting for the very book I have sitting unread beside my bed. It's too much for a girl to cope with, so I often end up returning unread books to the library. I know - I need help!
Anyway on my Friday visit I borrowed two books by Virgina Woolf. 'Mrs Dalloway.' and 'A Room of One's Own.' They are both quite short so I am hoping will not take too long to read, and I plan to enjoy them over Easter, when instead I should be studying for my upcoming journalism exam. Anyone read any Virginia Woolf? I felt it was about time the great lady was added to my list of, 'books I really must read for my ongoing literary enjoyment and education.' We shall see. Till next time.
Pull up a chair, grab a coffee and let's talk books! This blog will provide reviews, new recommendations and hopefully generate a lot of chat about books. It is your time out to catch up on what everyone's reading, to find a good recommendation and to share your opinions and ideas.
