The Sunday Salon (11) – Bookish Podcast Report

April 29, 2012

I ♥ podcasts. I asked for podcast recommendations, and you came through in a big way. I haven’t made it to every recommendation yet, but I’m working on it. Here are the ones I’ve tried so far. Books on the Nightstand. Wonderful wonderful wonderful. I love this podcast. It’s short and fun. And there’s a [...]

The Sunday Salon (10)

March 18, 2012

I ♥ the Tournament of Books! Seriously. I am in love. How is the Tournament of Books not shouted from the roof tops? I know I’ve kind of heard rumblings about it before, but how is it I never followed it before?! I’m having a hard time even putting my love into words. First things [...]

The Sunday Salon (9) – Bookish Podcasts Wanted

March 11, 2012

I ♥ podcasts. Or at least I want to. Reading doesn’t work for me as I’m bouncing up and down on a treadmill. I already listen to audio books in the car. And I don’t really want to watch anything on TV. So! The solution *I think* is podcasts. Bookrageous is on my download list [...]

March 4, 2012

I ♥ books. Yeah. Obvious, right? Except sometimes you wouldn’t know it from my reviews. I think I’ve gradually turned into a critic instead of a book lover. Now, I don’t want to get into the whole professional book reviewers versus book bloggers debate. Because that isn’t what I mean. What I mean is that [...]

The Sunday Salon (6)

January 15, 2012

Okay, it’s been over a year (!) since I did a Sunday Salon post. Shameful. Really. Books are my happy place. After what has been a hectic and emotional week at the end of a hectic and emotional month, I find myself thinking more and more about books in my down time. Books are currently [...]

2012

January 2, 2012

On this, the second day of a brand new year, my thoughts are wrapped around this blog and my reading plan for the year. This year, there are but three goals: Read 50 books. At one point, not so long ago, I would have set this goal at 100. But, with my life the way [...]
