The GLBT Challenge 2010 : click here for complete information! Once upon a time, Amanda suggested the idea of running the GLBT challenge again in 2010, and I immediately screamed “Yes!” after not having had the chance to participate in 2009. I was even more interested by the idea after she decided to run it over a year. And as summer is coming up and my schedule is getting lighter, it seems the perfect time to do it! I decided to do...

Remember in my Sunday Salon post yesterday, when I ask for suggestions for my holiday reading?

It’s time to clear off that pile of books that’s been waiting to be reviewed on the corner of your desk!

When : From October 1 to December 31, 2009 Set your objective : Whether it’s...

I don’t participate in that many challenges, but this one shouldn’t be too hard for me (fingers crossed). I’m planning on doing it with books in my TBR pile (unless there’s no book suiting the year, of course) What it’s about : The goal of this challenge is to read the number of books first published in a given year that corresponds to the last digit of each year in the 2000s — 10 books from 2010, 9 books from...

I’ve had a very fun week of reading this week; all four books had good humor and great stories. Which makes me worried; am I getting better at finding books that suit me, or am I just due for a batch of really atrocious reading? What do you think: does one become better at finding great reading? But let’s get to the essential : the books! Books I read this week : Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict, by Laurie Viera Rigler How...

Lucky for me, I already have a box-set of the 7 first books, and  they’re just...
