Rather Be Reading: July 2008

http://reallyratherbereading.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Thank You Mr. Gutenberg. Tuesday, July 29, 2008. I'm on a few days vacation and will be back next week. Happy reading to everyone! I got some wonderful mail the other day - two Julie Hecht stories published in Harper's magazine back in the 70s but not included in any collection. Many thanks to Susan! Wednesday, July 23, 2008. Here I Go Again. Is there anything better than discovering a new writer you love? And have to rave about her again. The same unnamed narrator from her previous short story collection.

Rather Be Reading: The Gathering by Anne Enright

http://reallyratherbereading.blogspot.com/2008/11/gathering-by-anne-enright.html

Thank You Mr. Gutenberg. Monday, November 3, 2008. The Gathering by Anne Enright. I found this to be a beautifully written story about the secrets and betrayals and love within a family. The language was lyrical and original, the story compelling. I felt is deserved the 2007 Man Booker Prize and look forward to reading other novels by Anne Enright. I would like to write down what happened in my grandmother's house the summer I was eight or nine, but I am not sure if it really did happen.". A Life in Books.

Rather Be Reading: October 2008

http://reallyratherbereading.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Thank You Mr. Gutenberg. Wednesday, October 29, 2008. Down to a Sunless Sea. Earlier this year I read an interesting book called. How to Become a Famous Writer Before You're Dead. By Ariel Gore. One of the topics covered was self-publishing so I was excited by a book sent to me to review that took that route. (I could very easily get way off topic now and start preaching about the wonderfulness of the DIY movement but I'll save that for another time.). The book is a short story collection called. Awhile ...

Rather Be Reading: May 2009

http://reallyratherbereading.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Thank You Mr. Gutenberg. Wednesday, May 13, 2009. I'm Having A Book! Thought I would just pop back in here to share my good news. My first novel. The Last River Child. Is being published in the fall 2009 here in Canada by Second Story Press. One of the reasons I took a leave of absence from this blog was to devote more of my time to writing. Happily, it seems I'm not wasting my time! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am Lori Ann Bloomfield author of the novel, "The Last River Child" (Second Story Press).

Rather Be Reading: September 2008

http://reallyratherbereading.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

Thank You Mr. Gutenberg. Sunday, September 21, 2008. Because life is a wee bit stressful at the moment, with this move and everything, I've been searching for escape. Escape for me is, of course, reading. And what I would really like to read right now is something funny. Anyone care to save my sanity and make a suggestion? My favourite funny books:. A Walk in the Woods. The Years With Ross. Me Talk Pretty One Day. Monday, September 15, 2008. What Was My Crime? This moving stuff is killing me! This is the...

Rather Be Reading: August 2008

http://reallyratherbereading.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Thank You Mr. Gutenberg. Tuesday, August 26, 2008. Really, I'm Trying. Because I am moving next month I put myself on a book diet - I told myself I would buy no new books because I already have too many and they are going to be a nightmare to move. But in the last three days I've bought two books:. The Journals of Joyce Carol Oates 1973-1982. By Margaret Drabble. I can only plead they were both on sale and therefore should not have been passed up. Right? Sunday, August 24, 2008. Tuesday, August 19, 2008.

Rather Be Reading: The Sea Lady

http://reallyratherbereading.blogspot.com/2008/11/sea-lady.html

Thank You Mr. Gutenberg. Thursday, November 6, 2008. I'm a big Margaret Drabble fan so it is hard for me to say I was disappointed by. Humphrey Clark and Aisla Kelman met as children by the seaside in England. Now in their sixties they are on their way to meet again - one of them unwittingly - by the same seaside. By Margaret Drabble: "The winning book was about fish, and to present it, she appeared to have dressed herself as a mermaid, in silver sequinned scales.". I read one Drabble book - The Waterfal...
