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 [...]

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 [...]

The Sunday Salon (8)

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 [...]

That makes it 6:45 a.m. my time, yeesh. There will be a live webcast, with [...]

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 [...]

The Sunday Salon (5)

November 7, 2010

The subtitle to this post is “An Ode to Classics.” For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been reading The Count of Monte Cristo. And I have to say that it’s been a refreshing experience. Don’t get me wrong; it’s been daunting too. My wrists ache from holding up the book containing all 1300 pages. [...]

The Sunday Salon (4)

August 29, 2010

Happy Sunday, everybody! This has been a busy couple of weeks for me. Here’s a run down on my doings. I recently started a new feature called Readers Uncovered in which readers share their thoughts on reading related questions. It will appear biweekly (or is it bimonthly?) – the second and fourth Monday of each [...]
