First addition to my bookpile arrived today; I found a second hand copy of Naked Came The Stranger by Penelope Ashe (1969) - author's name is a pseudonym for a group of -male- journalists who were appalled at the poor writing in the then-current best-sellers, so they decided to have a contest to see who could write the best/worst smut/pulp. Can't ( Read more... )

Blah, still needed to go outside on Saturday, because I had totally forgotten to pick up my bike from the repairshop on Friday afternoon. I also completely forgot to have dinner, I blame it all on hormones and the internet. (Not like that, you perv.) Fortunately today was a full pajama day, haha! This will be my final post of the weekend, it's been ( Read more... )

Over time these e-letters became huge, so recently we both agreed to try to keep our reviews as to the point as possible;-) Here's my first effort for the books I read in January and February.

Yay, got my final three orders from the Bookdepository today. Now I have a real bookpile again! In honour of this happy event, I've updated my readinglist and below I'm sharing photos of all the corners in my house where you can find books. I didn't manage to take a good shot of my waiting-to-be-reviewed' collection nor the new bookpile, ( but the rest is all here: )

Today it was back to work and getting up early, pffff. Shot some nice photos of the moon, while waiting for the bus this morning and discovered turkeys in a yard I walked by on the way to work! Was going to do a picture post, but with LJ being wonkey, I'll save that until later ( Read more... )

First off I apologize for spamming your flist with my new sticky post. I hadn't noticed the new box I had to tick to avoid that happening. Oops.

Part of the new toppost in my journal is my booklist for 2013. Everybody gave me books for my birthday, so I already have a tiny bookpile, wahey ( Read more... )

ETA nov/dec2012: Regretfully I had to disable anonymous comments, due to the massive amount of spam that even CHAPTA ( Read more... )

When I'm reading a book I'm in love with I don't want to stop, but I also don't want the story to end. Having to put the book away because of work or sleep is a mixed blessing. When I get back to the story I don't continue where I left it, but will pick up again a few pages back, rereading the last scenes I read just so I can be in that universe a ( Read more... )
