Hello, lovely people! I hope that this post is finding you all on the end of a fabulous weekend. Mine was minimally productive, but maximally book-filled. I consider it a success. This week shall be spent making up for my lack of PhD attention as I steam on with research, proposals, supervisor meetings, and the … Continue reading Monday Musing: 11/11/13
Welcome to another week, my literary lovelies! After something of a month-long blogging break (or at least a very reduced posting schedule), I am happy to announce that I am officially back to business. October was a month of significant changes, and a backseat for The Book Habit was entirely necessary as I worked on … Continue reading Monday Musing: 04/11/13
I made it! Despite the attempts of last night's storm to ensure otherwise. I have suffered a day without power, using it as the perfect excuse to forgo PhD work in exchange for a little more reading of my Book Club's current choice - Man Booker nominee, A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki. Fortunately … Continue reading Monday Musing: 28/10/13
Here we are, in the last full week of October. Despite the month's attempts to move at a pace so slow that it defies explanation, the inevitable march of time continues. Fortunately, I have enjoyed a fantastic weekend of reuniting with one of my greatest friends - the only person able to appreciate my incommunicably … Continue reading Monday Musing: 21/10/13
Hello to you, my fellow bibliophiles! Another week and we're already facing the latter half of October. Without the benefits of a real Halloween celebration or a Thanksgiving interlude, the UK is already on Christmas countdown. Since I am now ticking off the days until my next trip back to the US, I am not … Continue reading Monday Musing: 14/10/13
Happy Monday, friends! I hope that this post finds you all emerging from a spectacular weekend. Mine was dominated by a desperate attempt to accept my new status as a PhD candidate. Fortunately, I am once again in the zone and ready for an academic relaunch. Tomorrow I journey into the more glorious parts of … Continue reading Monday Musing: 07/10/13
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
