My Life in Books: Day Four
This is very exciting. While I was enjoying the peace and quiet of a retreat at the Abbey of Gethsemani, Simon over at Stuck in a Book posted my responses to questions for his My Life in Books series.
Simon's was one of the first book blogs I discovered and followed daily. He is a fine British fellow and I have gotten so many wonderful book recommendations from him. I was quite thrilled to take part in this series which ran all last week.
Part of the fun of this feature is being paired with another blogger and the chance to comment on the books that make up his or her life. I was paired with Tony of Tony's Reading List. We both came to reading pretty late it seems. Other than that and reading and blogging, we are about as opposite as they come. What a hoot!
Hop on over to My Life in Books at Stuck in a Book to read my answers and, if you would like, leave a comment.
I'll go check it out! Hope your retreat was refreshing and renewing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy. My retreat was wonderful. A great week to be there as there were not very many people. I did want to create a sign that stated "Whispering is not Silence" but refrained myself.
DeleteI did hop on over to Stuck in a Book, which I sometimes browse appreciatively, and enjoyed the q & a , Belle. Wonderful! You also reminded me of my own marathon reading adventure of "Gone With the Wind" as a junior in high school, staying up all night . . . well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Penny, for the hop. It was fun to think back over my reading career and respond to Simon's questions. Ah, that 'Gone With the Wind' reading assignment. Of course, the movie made quite an impression, too...'Frankly, my dear..." I have a friend who just reread it and says it's the best. I am not sure I am ready to commit to reading its 1000-plus pages.
DeleteGreat fun to learn more about you! Simon's blog is always interesting and he's generous sharing his space with other bloggers.
ReplyDeleteHi, Joan. Yes, Simon does generously introduce many of us bloggers to each other. I have gotten so many great book recommendations from his site. Being the Anglophile that I am, he has introduced me to many British pleasures. Thanks for commenting.
DeleteHow is the Beverley Nichols mystery coming along?
The murder has just been committed! I'm about halfway through and enjoying it. I'll post about it on my blog (http://planetjoan.blogspot.com) when I'm finished, probably over the weekend.
DeleteOh, good. I will look forward to your review.
DeleteBelle, I very much enjoyed the piece at Simon's. You and I like so many of the same books. No surprise!:)
ReplyDeleteKat, thanks for checking out my contribution to Simon's series. And yes, we do seem to have the same ideas about what makes for a good read. Although, I feel that you read much more widely than I do in the world of fiction. I have gotten some great tips from you.
