January 29, 2014January 6, 2019 ~ The Book Habit ~ Leave a comment

Happy Wednesday, my literary lovelies! I would like to start this post by thanking you all for the fantastic response to last week's post on my experiences with Bibliotherapy. Your messages have meant a lot and I am delighted to hear that I am part of a wide number of people who have used books … Continue reading The Weekly Reader: 29/01/14

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

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

This post is, in actuality, being composed on Monday, in a bout of pre-travel organisation. As you read this, I will be in New York, taking a well earned break from the PhD and passing Thanksgiving with my family. A pretty good deal, I'm sure you'll agree. But never fear, my bibliophilic tendencies will remain … Continue reading The Weekly Reader: 27/11/13

Well, lovely followers, this is the last edition of The Weekly Reader that shall be coming to you from the UK. In one week, I will again be gracing the shores of the USA for a holiday visit. A welcome (working) vacation before I return for another intense semester of PhD excitement. Never fear, posts … Continue reading The Weekly Reader: 21/11/13

Well, friends, it's official. The heating has gone on, which means there is no more denying that winter is almost upon us. In two weeks, I will be trading in the UK for the even colder climates of New York and Missouri. Jumpers, mittens, and hats at the ready. In the meantime, you will most … Continue reading The Weekly Reader: 13/11/13

Happy Wednesday, friends! Halfway through the week already and on the downward slope toward the weekend. How exciting! As the first full week of November, it has also become somewhat acceptable to be in Christmas countdown mode. Although my skin still prickles at the sound of Christmas albums playing on a loop and I seem … Continue reading The Weekly Reader: 06/11/13

Friends! I hope that this post finds you all enjoying a fantastic Wednesday. I am still buzzing from a wonderfully literary weekend with my very good friend, and fellow bibliophile, Katie. Needless to say that much of her visit was occupied with a 50th rewatching of the BBC's Jane Eyre adaptation. Because nothing says 'obsessive' … Continue reading The Weekly Reader: 23/10/13

Happy Wednesday! Another week has flown by and this post is coming to you from back in my cosy corner of Hertfordshire. After a wonderful week away from civilisation and in the Cambrian mountains, I have returned home. The beauty of my PhD programme, I am fast learning, is that it allows me to indulge … Continue reading The Weekly Reader: 16/10/13

October 9, 2013January 15, 2019 ~ The Book Habit ~ Leave a comment

Hello my lovelies! I am now fully embedded in the Welsh countryside, enjoying the fruits of a beautiful autumn. Leaving civilisation behind for a week is the perfect antidote to a stress-inducing PhD transition. Fortunately, it also affords me some headspace to put together this week's edition of The Weekly ReaderĀ - for all of your … Continue reading The Weekly Reader: 09/10/13
