A new crossword puzzle is up at the Minds Alive on the Shelves blog today, following Lisa’s promise that she’d have a new puzzle there every Friday.
This week’s topic is Book Terms and Titles. I’m halfway through and am stuck on a few of them (love the challenge!), but I’m not going to check for [...]

What a great idea this is! Kiirstin at A Book a Week and Mandy at Edge of Seventeen just did a “buddy review” of Ice, the latest YA book by Sarah Beth Durst.
Each one first did their own review of the book itself, and then they interviewed each other about their opinions. I don’t know [...]

For starters — and before I go backwards alphabetically through my blogroll — Flit at Flitting Through Canadian Fiction could use some help if you know anyone in [...]

Good day! Just a quickie today, I think, before I settle in to watch the men’s final at Wimbledon. (Go Federer! Sorry to my American friends, but my ancestors were Swiss. And he’s just so cute! But I digress…) Let’s have a swift peek at what some of my bookish friends have been up to [...]

Good morning! I’ve had some lovely time in the sun on my balcony, puttering with plants in pots, and now I’m going to browse through the book blogs in my neighbourhood. I may try to be a bit quicker than usual, though, because it’s going to be a busy day. For one thing, I read [...]
