Reflections through Cyberspace

This week I finally found some time to catch up with reading I decided to read one of the library books I got (which are already long overdue..still have to find the time to take them back!). It’s a novel by Joanna Trollope - Girl from the South. I had already read another book [...]

If you are an avid reader, and enjoy reading and collecting books, then a visit to a book town is surely an ideal day out! Being a bookaholic myself, I think I would spend hours browsing around the various shops and book stalls, and would end up buying loads of books! The only problem would [...]

This week I managed to read another book which I got from the library last month - Something Blue by Emily Giffin. Here’s a summary:
For fans of Sex in the City and Marian Keyes, an unputdownable, romantic read. Thirty years old, successful and stunning, Darcy Rhone used to think that ‘being down and out’ meant [...]

I woke up sick again this morning, so I decided to stay at home to get better. Otherwise, if I keep going out whilst sick, I will only get worse!
When I’m not sleeping, I’m catching up with reading. Since I started working, I didn’t have much time to read, since I’m very tired after work. [...]

I probably will not [...]

This morning I came across an article about the Mills & Boon books, who are celebrating a centenary. At home, amongst the many books we have, we have a large shelve full of old Mills & Boon books, which I have never read. I thought that they were no longer very popular, but I was [...]

At the moment I’m really missing reading non-academic books! Since I’ve got exams, I don’t have time to read any books, other than the ones which I have to study. I can’t wait for next week so that I will have more time for myself and for my hobbies!

After I finish exams, I have to clear my study and I decided to store books which I won’t be using in boxes since we will be moving soon. Since they will be stored in the garage, I decided to do some research about how to best store them, and whether I can do something [...]

One of the books I just started reading last Saturday as part of researching the topic for my dissertation is Nineteen Eighty Four, written by George Orwell.
Whilst writing this post, I was reminded of the time when I was in London and whilst walking around Notting Hill, I saw the house where George Orwell used [...]
