First of all, Happy Mother’s Day! (No the cats didn’t get me anything for Mother’s Day – not unless you count George destroying the empty book boxes and packing paper last night. He clearly had a great time. The humans, cleaning up after him the next morning, not so much. And since no Sunday Post […]
As far as reviews go, this week started with a bang and ended pretty close to a bang, but in the middle there were a couple of days of whimpering. A couple of books that I expected to be much better than they actually turned out to be. C’est la reading vie. At least this […]
WHEW! I made all my deadlines both here and at Library Journal but it was certainly a bit of a mad dash to get all the books read and written up this week! The novellas I reviewed here turned out to be a VERY interesting bunch! Spear was utterly wonderful – especially in the audio […]
Happy (almost) everything. It’s Easter Sunday, Passover started Friday night and tomorrow is Tax Day. Two good things out of three ain’t bad. Or maybe that should be 50/50, as this marks the official end of my annual Blogo-Birthday Celebration, as the giveaways have closed and the winners have been chosen. (Except for the two […]
First and foremost, I want to thank each and every one of you who participated in my Blogo-Birthday Giveaway Celebration this week. I wish I had prizes for all of you. Your readership, comments and support mean the world to me. But it is done for another year, except for the giveaways which will be […]
This week marks the OMG 11th Anniversary of the start of Reading Reality. My birthday is also this week. Hence the term “Blogo-Birthday” as both the blog and I have a celebration this week. YAY! As is usual here at Reading Reality, this is a Hobbit birthday, meaning that I give presents. There will be […]
Suspicious George is still VERY suspicious. It’s not that we haven’t been forgiven, it’s more like he’s just petrified that we’re going to leave him again. Which is true in the long term, as now that it seems safe-ish to travel, we’ll probably do it a bit more. But we’ll always come back, which he […]
We did get home from the cruise last Saturday night around midnight. We spent 12 hours in the Fort Lauderdale airport on Saturday, so by the time we got home my brain was completely fried, our house was freezing as there had been a cold snap that day, and the cats were clinging to us […]
Did you remember to ‘Spring Forward’ last night? We just got back from our trip yesterday, so even though I’m writing this post ahead I’m pretty sure that we won’t have found all the clocks that need resetting by the time you read this. I intended to read a LOT on the cruise, but I’m […]
The picture below is Freddie’s confused face. I know that he’ll be confused while you’re reading this because we’ll be away on vacation and the clowder will be relying on the catsitter to keep them fed and watered and their litter boxes clean. They’ll have each other for entertainment but we know that’s not the […]
