Bloggiesta is coming, (September 28-30th to be precise) and after looking at my blog discovered it is in dire need of cleaning. Bloggiesta is co-hosted by There’s a Book and Suey from It’s All About Books. If you decide to participate in the Fall 2012 edition you can expect: to spend time that weekend (as much or as little as […]
Summer has always been a slow blogging time for me but as the summer months come to a close I am ready to jump back into the blogging world! Here are two bookish events that will be filling the last months of the year for me. I started, half-heartedly to reread Gone with the Wind […]
It is the last day of August and I am finally getting around to The Classic Club‘s first meme. What is your favorite classic and why? I didn’t even have to think about this question, my two favorites are Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (and yes […]
I will be starting the High Summer Read-a-Thon hosted by Michelle at The True Book Addict in a few minutes, with a cup of tea beside me and a book in hand. I’ll be using this post to track my progress throughout the next few days. Here is my pool of books: Harry Potter series […]

Edmund and Lucy seem more mature, perhaps because their elder siblings are out of the picture, and their cousin Eustace, pompously adds humor […]

I am torn in a relationship with Basil Rathbone and Benedict Cumberbatch. Why? Because for years I was a devoted fan of the 1940s Sherlock Holmes movies, but then the BBC came out with Sherlock and had to ask myself where my loyalties lie. Despite my enjoyment of both shows I have never read a […]
