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!

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.

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

Friends! Not only is it Friday, but it is also August 9th - officially Book Lover's Day. Since my life practically revolves around reading books and writing this blog, every day is Book Lover's Day in my world. But is wonderful to come together in a spirit of camaraderie with fellow bibliophiles and collectively acknowledge … Continue reading Just For Fun Friday: Happy Book Lover’s Day!
