Today's What I'm Reading comes to you following a hectic week of cross-continental travel, family reunions, and Christmas build-up. After a work-filled term of PhD research, I am more than prepared for a few weeks of relaxation and reading. Although it is always a wrench to miss out on a traditional British Christmas, I am fortunate … Continue reading What I’m Reading: Missourian Magnificence
What a wonderful week! With a well-timed slow-down in PhD work, I have thrown myself back into lazy reading days and bookshop visits. This is by far the most perfect Christmas build-up possible. Next week, I fly back to the US to visit my family for the holidays and, inevitably, spend much of my time … Continue reading Week In Review: December Discoveries

Having finally finished Kate Mosse's Labyrinth (review coming your way tomorrow), I've been able to get down to the serious task of working my way through my growing To Read list. I've had some really excellent … Continue reading What I’m Reading Wednesday: Be Involved!
Happy Wednesday to you all! I considered following in the footsteps of some of my fellow bloggers in doing a 'Wordless Wednesday' photo post, but we all know that silence is not my style. With another review heading your way tomorrow (on one of the best YA books I have read in recent memory), … Continue reading What I’m Reading Wednesday: 10/04/13
