Blood-a-thon The Southern Vampire Mystery Series Charlaine Harris As I've wasted more time than I like to acknowledge looking up info on the new season of True Blood on the t'interweb, I've decided to re-read the Southern Vampire Mysteries (otherwise known as The Sookie Stackhouse or True Blood Series) by Charlaine Harris. Inspired by BOOKELF, … Continue reading Blood-A-Thon Book 1 – Dead Until Dark

Guilty Pleasures? I feel no shame!
Totally necessary - topless Eric The fourth series of True Blood has just started in the U.S. Based on the tremendously popular Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris; this bonkers, bloody and barmy series can't make it to our shores soon enough for me! And as I've just finished two 'heavy' reads - The Line of … Continue reading Guilty Pleasures? I feel no shame!
Endless Life of Pi
So last weekend I took the Travelling Suitcase Library to the LS6 Beer Festival, which was amazing. On the Saturday the lovely hosts Left Bank (you guys rock!) donated the rest of their World Book Night copies of Life of Pi and The Reluctant Fundamentalist to the Suitcase. Life of Pi is the gazillion copy … Continue reading Endless Life of Pi

Blogalong The Foutainhead Part VIII
So. It is over. It is finished. I never have to read that book again, if I so choose. Any yet....and yet... I don't think a fiction book has made me fundamental question myself more than The Fountainhead. From enjoying it as a tract against classicism in favour of modernism, to the brilliantly succinct ripping … Continue reading Blogalong The Foutainhead Part VIII
Blogalong The Fountainhead Part VII
Part 3-Gail Wynard Meh, really. Just. Meh. Mostly Dominique and husband no. 2 Gail Wynard talking in very long sentences that I couldn't really follow due to not caring about them about how much they worship sky scrapers. I'm sure there was some massively important point I was missing but after the drama and excitement … Continue reading Blogalong The Fountainhead Part VII
Blogalong The Fountainhead Part VI
So this weekend I had a bit of a crisis. Having always considered myself a fairly decent sort, who tries to do her up most to live a fairly decent life, I am suddenly struck with horror and guilt that I might be a Catherine. Catherine and Ellsworth (hate Ellsworth, hate him) have this long … Continue reading Blogalong The Fountainhead Part VI

Part 2 Chapters Vi-X In which rather a lot happens in a very short space of time... In this post I want to talk about two things. There are many other things to talk about, but in order to stop myself from becoming too derailed I shall stick to two. 1) Roark and Dominique-what the … Continue reading Blogalong The Foutainhead IV
