Reflections through Cyberspace

Here’s an interesting concept I just read about on Londonist - Choose What You Read.
This initiative is being encouraged by a not for profit organisation, and they loan books out and only ask that people return them when they’re done, so they can be read again by someone else. They encourage readers to add their [...]

Finally I found the motivation to start reading again! In the past months, I have been buying books, and getting books from the library, only to leave them there, or start reading the first chapter and stop reading! I don’t know what got into me - I used to really enjoy reading and there were [...]

Did you know that you could adopt a book? I never heard of this concept, until recently. This scheme I have heard about is offered by the British Library.
The British Library’s Adopt a Book scheme is the ideal way to give a family member, friend or corporate client a unique gift, while helping to protect [...]

Where I work, there are a number of bookshops close by, and one of them had a sale this week! So what did I do? I have been visiting during lunch break everyday..and I ended up buying books both on Monday and on Tuesday In the end, today I had to come to work [...]

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. [...]

Earlier this week I have started packing my books. I have created a list with the title of the book, together with the type and ISBN number. I had to go through all my books, input the data in the list and then pack them in boxes. Whilst going through the books, I re-discovered the [...]

Yesterday afternoon I started packing all my books in boxes. I have created a list of all my books, which includes Title, Author, ISBN, whether soft or hard cover and type of book. I am really addicted to lists - I have to have lists for nearly everything!! Is it only me??
I probably will not [...]
