Sunday Salon : on Slow Reading and Books

Sunday Salon : on Slow Reading and Books

Hola book bloggers and readers! Another week over, and time is now definitely passing by faster than I would wish it to. My midterms are on the corner and as a result, I am (supposedly) spending my time studying and working on papers. More school work = less time for reading, and so I have read only 2 books this week. My blog has slowed down a little, too, and while I was previously updating on a daily basis, this week I skipped a few days....

Sunday Salon : September recap and Books that Stuck!

Sunday Salon : September recap and Books that Stuck!

Another month gone by, witch results in the usual “oh-my-god-already!?!?” reaction! September was a busy month : back to school, BBAW, and lots of reading! I’ve managed to read a total of 18 books in September, which can almost be considered as cheating since 2 of them are Chester and Chester’s back, with more images than words! Still, a good month. Sucks to be me by Kimberly Pauley Catching Fire by Suzanne...

Sunday Salon : BBAW, University and Boookish things

Hello again everyone! BBAW has come and gone so fast, I would think it was all a dream if it wasn’t for my feed reader, which has nearly exploded! I have yet to read the biggest part of what has been posted on everyone’s blogs this week, but I’ll try to do as much as I can today and Tuesday. I thought I would manage to read most of it yesterday, but then we got a surprise visit from friends that – which was extremely...

Sunday Salon : Pretty reading

Sunday Salon : Pretty reading

Another week has gone by, school is getting serious and my reading has definitely slowed down. Not dramatically, but I already feel it’s more difficult to make time to read. Fortunately the subway/bus ride to school and back home is close to an hour each way, so it gives me plenty of time to read and relax every day! My reading this week has been great, though! Not that much in quantity, but more in quality. Books I read this week : The...

Sunday Salon : End of Summer and Books

Wow! Is it really Sunday again? This week went by so fast, it makes me feel a little dizzy. I had a good reading week, although I was a little absent from the blogosphere. I’m still settling in my new rythm, so soon I should be able to be a little more present. I definitely need to go around your blogs : my GoogleReader can’t take it anymore! Now, how about some book talk? Book read this week : Sucks to be me, by Kimberly...

Sunday Salon : Back to School and Bookish stuff

Sunday Salon : Back to School and Bookish stuff

Two days from today, on September 1st, not only will Catching Fire be out in stores, I will also be back to university! I am both excited about and dreading this next semester. First because I need to take no less than 6 classes in order to finish my undergrad studies next year, and secondly because most of these classes are obligatory ones. I have no doubt I’ll love most of them in the end : I have fantastic professors! Here are the...

Sunday Salon : Happy Birthday to Me!

Sunday Salon : Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Birthday to Me! Today I am… well, older than I was yesterday! *grins* I love it because on my birthday, I receive gifts and the Man of the House has the obligation to Obey my Command. Or kinda. And then, we eat great food – which will be awesome since I have loads of belly problems (thanks mom for the genetics!) and I am now trying to “fix” those by not eating all the things I like the most (sugar, pasta, bread,...
