All about da blog

After a lifetime of failed new year resolutions- from wanting to wake up on time to solving world hunger, I have decided to tweak my previous resolution. I shall read and blog about less than or equal to 50 books during the course of the year- with emphasis on the "less than"

Calling for Suggestions


I am creating my ‘must read and blog about’ 2011 book list. So think about it for a minute and let me know of any book that you love/ are inspired by/ think is a must read/ hate it and want someone to share your agony and let me know.
Right now this is what I have
1.               Liar’s Poker
2.               Elegance of the Hedgehog
3.             War and Peace
Pretty sparse you will agree…

Book 1: The Uncommon Reader: Alan Bennett

Another year another resolution - this time I am getting smarter, the aim is to write less than 50 book reviews a year. How easy is that? I have already reached my goal! Beat that all you lousy resolution keepers!

So my first project for the year was this book that caught my fancy during a book exchange that I went to. After all a book about readers and England and about the monarchy - what can go wrong? The answer? Nothing. It is a thoroughly enjoyable, funny and most important a very quick read.
