I am currently well on my way to determining the essentials for a perfect summer. In my mind, it has little to do with beaches and heat. Instead, my perfect summer looks much more like something from an Enid Blyton novel. For instance, it is no lie to say that my kitchen currently abounds with … Continue reading Monday Musing: 30/06/14
Hi pals! I am in the throes of a summer cold. Quite where I've picked it up from, I don't know. But it's wielded a destructive influence on my weekend plans. All I can say is thank goodness for (1) my fiancé, who has been taking gold standard care of me, (2) books, for providing … Continue reading Monday Musing: 12/05/14

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!

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

As we work through the latter end of the winter, keep images of a glorious spring in mind, and get ready to pull … Continue reading Monday Musing: 27/01/14
Welcome to a new week, my friends. I hope that you have all taken advantage of a chance to rest over the weekend. I spent Saturday indulging in admirably literary pursuits - including a trip to London's Donmar Warehouse to see a production of Coriolanus. Featuring the talents of both Tom Hiddleston (see my ravings about his performance … Continue reading Monday Musing: 20/01/14
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 2014, my literary lovelies! December was undoubtedly a month of excuses for my seemingly interminable absence from the blogging world. Hopefully it wasn't too much of a surprise, given that I have passed the holidays in the US. I do like to keep this blog relatively separate from my private life since (1) I … Continue reading Monday Musing + Excuses
