Despite it being summer, I’ve been working in July – and when I haven’t been working, I’ve been working out. Since I discovered that I can bring my iPad, loaded with television shows to the gym, I’ve been zooming through episodes of Castle instead of reading books while stationary bike riding. The weather haven’t been… Continue reading Books I read in July

Books I read in June
I somehow felt like I wasn’t reading enough in June, and then I started on book one of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, and zoomed through the first ones in about three days. Books I read in June:
Books I read in May
There were a couple of very long weekends in May, and some summertime where I spent my time reading in the sun.
Books I read in April
April was Easter break, and a lot of books read. Some newly published books, and some books that have been backlisted. I’ve ordered myself a trip to Paris this summer, and Eloisa James’ Paris in Love was quite instrumental in making me look forward to that with its little tidbits about living in Paris.

The latter explains why it jumps around a lot, which makes it kind of hard to keep… Continue reading Book review: Wishful drinking
Books I read in February
I have started a couple of heavier books, but the biography on Queen Anne and (yet another) biography on Queen Elizabeth will probably end up being finished in March and be on March’s list instead. I’m also getting back to reading while biking, or in the walking-breaks between running in the Couch25K programme, so I… Continue reading Books I read in February
Kindle thoughts
Fascinating thoughts around getting an ebook reader. I need to buy a Kindle, but will hate myself for doing it. I ended up getting a Kindle, after much deliberation, and though I don’t think I’ve read more since getting it… my shelves are thanking me for not filling them up as much with books that… Continue reading Kindle thoughts
