Monday, 12 September 2011. 50 books - and then some. This is my fourth year of a fifty-book challenge - and for reasons that are mysterious to me, Im well ahead of the pace. Normally Ive managed 50-55 books, including last year an emergency pride-saving push over Christmas. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Rosesyear *at* gmail *dot* com. A Girl Walks Into a Bookstore. 2011-A Reading Year in Review:. A Pin to See the Peepshow by F Tennyson Jesse. Reading Fuelled By Tea.

Liked: Gone Girl aka Marriages can be hard. December 6, 2014. What would happen to your life if one day you come home and your wife has disappeared? Would you worry yourself to death? Or would you send a little prayer of thanks? What would happen if your wife disappeared and it looks like you killed her? I bet you would be pretty desperate for her to be found.

August 18, 2016. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The sins of the father are to be laid upon the children. – Shakespeare. So Many. Thoughts. Where do I begin? Perhaps at the very beginning when a little magical baby survived a deadly attack from a very cruel wizard setting in motion events that culminated in the Battle of Hogwarts in which the evil wizard was finally defeated. But what if the magical baby did not survive? Or what if that cruel wizard did not kill him? There has been criticism on the qu...

Rose's Reading: Satur-Hay
http://rosesyear.blogspot.com/2011/05/satur-hay.html
Sunday, 29 May 2011. Second session was 'Cold Places' with Sue Flood (a nature photographer) showing pictures and talking about her work and career. Beautiful images. And then the first half of Man U- Barca, followed by Sandi Toksvig and Sue Perkins. Glad we didn't stay to see Man U get beaten, and Sandi and Sue were funny but not amazing. Finally, beer and wine then a tiddly toddle back down to our field. 29 May 2011 at 10:12. 31 May 2011 at 22:42. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Hi ho, hi ho.

Rose's Reading: It's funny how your memory of a book shifts
http://rosesyear.blogspot.com/2012/01/its-funny-how-your-memory-of-book.html
Tuesday, 24 January 2012. It's funny how your memory of a book shifts. Looking back at my year's reading (a bit late, I know), I've realised that the books that win an instant 5* rating as I finish them are not the same as the books that I'd now judge to be highlights. My best reads of 2011 - the ones that I loved, that I've talked about and recommended, and that I think I'll read again were. When God Spoke English - I blogged about this while at Hay. The Hare with Amber Eyes;. Reading Fuelled By Tea.

Rose's Reading: Fictional FLOTUSes...
http://rosesyear.blogspot.com/2011/02/fictional-flotuses_19.html
Saturday, 19 February 2011. So here's the real and long-mulled-over post on American Wife and Primary Colours. It's the first time I've written at any length about novels since I left university, and I'm definitely out of practice. I've wanted to see the film for ever, but never tracked it down. Finally saw the book in Waterstones and lashed out. I picked it up on the man's recommendation, after he'd read it for his book club and loved it. Was I mutable, without a fixed identity? Reading Fuelled By Tea.

Rose's Reading: World Book Night - here we come!
http://rosesyear.blogspot.com/2012/02/world-book-night-here-we-come.html
Sunday, 19 February 2012. World Book Night - here we come! Monday April 23rd is World Book Night - and I've been picked as one of 20,000 givers across the country. I'm going to be handing out copies of The Remains of the Day. Which is one of my favourite ever books. As the World Book Night people say: the greatest reading journeys start when you put a book in to someone's hand and say 'this one's amazing, you have to read it'. Anyone else lucky enough to get picked? And is anyone planning any events?

Georgette Heyer’s Frederica | Shades Of Words
https://shadesofwords09.wordpress.com/2015/03/11/georgette-heyers-frederica
Georgette Heyer’s Frederica. March 11, 2015. Reading “Frederica” was one of the best things that I did this month. It satisfied the literary snob in me with its language and character development, but it also engaged the over-worked, hassled mom in me who doesn’t have the time for complex plots. The Heyer novels specialize in Regency Romances and while they give an insight to Georgian lifestyles and fashions ( quite deliberate on the fashion! The answer was that whatever we review would be a mix of our e...
