Booklover Book Reviews

A quick note to wish everyone a very Happy Easter!

For me Easter is a quiet long weekend spent relaxing with the family.

Oh, I also find time for chocolate, wine and lots of reading – what more could a girl want!

With 3 more days holiday to go, next on my reading pile are:

THE BROKEN TEAGLASS by Emily Arsenault

TALES OF AN AFRICAN VET by Roy Aronson

MURDER IN PASSY, An Aimee Leduc Investigation by Cara Black

THE IMPERFECTIONISTS by Tom Rachman

THE FIVE GREATEST WARRIORS by Matthew Reilly

How do you spend your Easter long weekend?

Does it involve books?

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?, hosted by prolific blogger Book Journey is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.

A little thing called life (or more specifically work + study) is impacting my blogging right now, so please bear with me and my slackness on commenting!

This is what happened over the last few weeks on Booklover Book Reviews:

So, what’s planned this week?

• In my car I am listening to the audiobook To Say Nothing of The Dog by Connie Willis (listen to an audio sample).
• I am reading Room by Emma Donoghue (a lovely gift from fabulous blogger Nancy from The Year In Books).

    

• My chances of getting another review posted this week are slim, but I will try!  

This is what happened this past fortnight on Booklover Book Reviews:

• In my car I’ll be listening to the audiobook Lost Light by Michael Connelly (listen to an audio sample).
• I am reading Negative Image by Vicki Delany (Kindle) and All Our Worldly Goods by Irene Nemirovsky (library book).

This is what happened this past week on Booklover Book Reviews:

• Guest poster Booksploring told us who her favourite Australian Authors are as part of a series of guest posts I’m hosting in support of the Aussie Author Challenge. 
• I also had a bit of a scare when my Google account (and hence my blog) got hijacked and so I reminded myself How To Back Up Blogger Templates, Posts and Comments.

So, what’s on the cards this week?

• I look forward to listening to the rest of Music of Chance during my daily commute, reading An Imaginary Life by David Malouf before it’s due back to the library and perhaps(?) finishing Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina (Kindle).

• I will be welcoming guest poster NancyO to Booklover Book Reviews on Wednesday - pop by then to hear what she has to say.
• And, I hope to get around to posting my reviews of The Six Sacred Stones and Life of Pi.

Have a great week!

This is what happened this past week on Booklover Book Reviews:

• This was a week of firsts however. My first ever guest post (my tongue-in-cheek musings on what Tolstoy the person might have been like) appeared on Desert Book Chick as part of Amanda’s Classics Month.
• I also hosted my first ever guest poster on Booklover Book Reviews – Tony from Tony’s Reading List shared with us his thoughts on Australian Authors as part of a series of guest posts I’m hosting in support of the Aussie Author Challenge. 
• I also posed the question ‘Do diagrams and maps have a place in novels?‘ and ‘found another nifty way to find new authors you may like’.

• I look forward to listening to the second half of Life of Pi by Yann Martel during my daily commute and hopefully I’ll stay awake at night long enough this week to finish Reilly’s The Six Sacred Stones (physical book) and perhaps(?) finish Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina (Kindle).

            

• I will be welcoming Booksploring to Booklover Book Reviews on Wednesday - pop by then to hear who her favourite Australian authors are.
• And, if I really get this work-life balance thing back in check I might just have time to post my review of The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest.
   
  Have a great week!
