After reading this, The Man of the House said : “That’s so true!” Should I laugh or should I cry? 😛

You guys might remember, some time ago, when I asked : When you review a book, do you write your own summary, or borrow the publisher’s one? And when you read reviews on blogs, do you prefer to read the publisher’s one, or the blogger’s own summary? You were numerous to answer, and I really appreciated all your feedback! It was great to read a variety of answers, and it really helped me make my decision. Since then, I have started...

When you review a book, to you write your own summary, or borrow the publisher’s one? And when you read reviews on blogs, do you prefer to read the publisher’s one, or the blogger’s own summary? My very first reviews had very short summaries, if any, that I wrote as I reviewed the books. Those were very hard to come down with for me, and I came to the conclusion that it would be easier to simply borrow the summary already...

I was looking at my reviews today and I realized : after finishing the one I’m working on (The Widow’s Season), I’ll be writing my 50th review! I can’t believe I’ve written this many reviews. I feel like I’m still new at this, and yet… 50! I’m kind of impressed – I have a  shameful track-record of beginning a new blog and abandoning it, again and again and again. So today, I decided to ask...

Hey everyone! I’ve been lucky to be invited to guest post at Ink and Paper Specials for the Sex in Teen Lit Month! I thank Jo for this opportunity, it was fun to write a little article for the occasion. Click here to read what I had to say – and, if you haven’t already, take a look at all the other posts, interviews and reviews on the blog. Jo did an amazing work in the past...

I’ve just discovered one of the greatest blogs this week, and I had to share it with you! The lucky ones among you might already know about it, but for those who have never heard of it, I present you Awful Library Books. Presentation taken from their website : This site is a collection of public library holdings that we find amusing and maybe questionable for public libraries trying to maintain a current and relevant collection. ...

Last Sunday, J.S. Peyton at Biblioaddict had her own Bloggiesta, a “Bloggiesta of One” as she named it (which cutely abbreviates to BOO!) This week, it became a Bloggiesta of Three as Save Ophelia and I joined too! It’s always nice to work on our blogs, but it’s even nicer to make in with great company 🙂 Since I yesterday took a resolution to post less about “stuff” and more about reviews, I chose to not...

I was entering my most recent reads into my excel document tonight, when I realised that That Summer by Sarah Dessen was my 50th book this year! Wow! I’m quite impressed with myself, considering I read a total 54 books in 2007 and 62 in 2008. I read almost a year’s worth in about five months! I think I owe a big part of this to my new book-blogging addiction. I discovered so many great books that my TBR list has incredibly...
