Granted, the apologies are getting a little old. However, on top of combatting jet lag for the past week, I also spent my weekend in the Land that Time Forgot (a.k.a. my grandmother's house, where internet is entirely absent). But I am fully yours, once again - and yes, I can hear your sighs of … Continue reading Monday Musing: 30/09/13
Today's the day. In a few short hours, I will be jetting my way back to the UK. But still finding time to bring you another Monday Musing. See you on the other side of the ocean!
Hi pals! I hope that you are all having a stellar Monday so far. It's my last week in the great United States before returning to the UK for immersion into the joys of a PhD programme. Fortunately, still some time to go before I will have to trade in my current reading pile for … Continue reading Monday Musing: 16/09/13
Hello hello! I am still alive, despite disappearing for most of last week. My mum's birthday brought about a surprise trip to the US and, with jet lag and an Elvis impersonator to contend with, my attention to blogging has been less than stellar. But I am back to it this week, with some more … Continue reading Monday Musing: 09/09/13
Welcome to September, my friends! A month of autumn leaves, countryside walks, and (most importantly) my birthday. Yes, it's the big 2-5 this month. A quarter of a century. Doesn't the time fly? I hope that you are all looking forward to a fabulous month ahead. And to my pals in the US, I am … Continue reading Monday Musing: 02/09/13
Hello all! You may be in for a double round of posts today, as I attempt to make up for my lack of presence this weekend. I am currently in Oxford, catching time with my mum while she is here on a business trip from the US. I will be back this evening (hopefully) with … Continue reading Monday Musing: 26/08/13
Happy Monday! I am entering a week that promises many wonderful things - sunshine, the return of The British Bake-off, and a long weekend in Oxford with my fabulous mum. I hope that some similarly epic plans are on the calendar for each of you. If not, I have a couple of Literary Excursion posts coming … Continue reading Monday Musing: 19/08/13
Hi chaps! I hope this week sees you all refreshed and ready for the days ahead. I've got a great diversity of posts lined up for you this week, from a celebration of personal literary heritage to reviews of my recent reads. Something for everyone! For today, enjoy this inspirational quote, courtesy of Virginia Woolf. … Continue reading Monday Musing: 12/08/13
Hello hello! I hope that you all had a brilliant weekend. For Doctor Who fans, I need hardly speculate (YES to Peter Capaldi). This week promises some highlights here at The Book Habit - with a post on overcoming your post-Harry Potter grief (still in mourning, these many years later), a review of one of the … Continue reading Monday Musing: 05/08/13
Storms, storms, storms. We are finally paying the price for such wonderfully warm weather. Fortunately, monsoon rain is exactly what I need as I crank out my dissertation. I will admit, however, that storms always provoke a longing to curl up with one of the Harry Potter books. Nothing says rainy day reading quite like … Continue reading Monday Musing: 29/07/13
