Hello, my literary lovelies! After a long absence, The Book Habit is finally back. The past two months have seen me in and out of the UK, snowed under with PhD work, and planning for a future UK-based move. I have not, however, neglected my bibliophilic duties. I continue to fill every spare moment with … Continue reading The Book Habit Is Back!
Happy Wednesday! I am finally starting to draw my head out of the academic sand, and put it back where it belongs (in the books, of course). I have since devoured a couple of novels, from the sadly unimpressive Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence, to my current and magnificent read, The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara … Continue reading The Weekly Reader: 19/02/14
Hello friends! How lax I have been for the past couple of weeks. Terrible, I know. And I will not attempt to justify myself, except to say that I have been in a PhD haze, subject to a deadline approaching with speed. Fortunately, I am now done and dusted and ready to give The Book … Continue reading Monday Musing: 17/02/14

Happy Wednesday, my lovelies! I hope that you are all having a fabulous week. I am once again immersed in the world of the PhD which is, at least, a distraction from the rain. Still plenty of reading time, however, and I am currently on my third run-through of George Orwell's fantastic 1984. Review upcoming, … Continue reading The Weekly Reader: 15/01/14
Mid-January already and the new week finds me back in rainy England. However, having been subjected to the whims of the polar vortex while in the US, this current watery deluge has been put into perspective. I would exchange a balaclava for an umbrella any day. Whatever the weather where you are, here is a … Continue reading Monday Musing: 13/01/14
Happy Hump Day! I hope that you are all having a productive week - for many, the first full week back after the holidays. The second half of January is always a difficult one, as the reality of the post-Yuletide winter sets in. On the bright side, the days are once again getting longer and … Continue reading The Weekly Reader: 08/01/14
Another week-long absence from the blogging world and I'm finally back again. I am extricating myself from the haze of love and accompanying isolation of reunion with my boyfriend with a return to posting form. Thank you all for bearing with me through my disappearance - be assured that The Book Habit is here to … Continue reading Monday Musing: 16/12/13
