The Brontes Went to Woolworths

The Brontes Went to Woolworths is one of those books I’ve wanted to read but couldn’t find easily on the shelf – or at the library. I ended up buying the Bloomsbury edition though I wish I had a Virago like Sassymonkey has. Sniff.
When I needed to choose three books for the 1930’s Mini [...]

Again I’m thankful for Sassymonkey and the 1930’s mini challenge. I’ve read Dorothy Sayers in the past and wasn’t all that impressed – but Gaudy Night, once I dug into it – I was hooked. I think it’s that I don’t really love Peter Wimsy but I do love Harriet Vane. The key to my [...]

Oh boy, does she. Seriously. I’ve wanted to read Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day for ages and just never got around to it. Thanks to the 1930’s mini challenge I moved it to the top of my TBR list and read it almost straight through. I love Miss Pettigrew. It’s a shame Watson didn’t [...]

Damn Sassymonkey for posting this about the 1930s mini challenge. And damn the 1930s mini challenge for being so tempting!
I think I’ve decided on my three books:
The Gaudy Night – I haven’t read Sayers in a long time, so she’s in.
Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day – Because I never got around to reading it [...]
Again with the book meme

Heh. Another book meme I’ve been saving, this one from Sassymonkey – the librarything books most likely to be marked unread:
These are the top 106 books most often marked as “unread” by LibraryThing’s users. Bold what you have read, italicize books you’ve started but couldn’t finish, and strike through books you hated. Add an [...]
Have I done this meme?

I’m cleaning out my feedreader and trying to block out some really bad synchronized swimming music and I see I saved this post from kperfetto from ages ago… 100 most influential women in books meme. Weird that I don’t seem to have done this meme. I wonder why. Let’s do it now, [...]

Heh, thanks Lorena. This totally amused me and I knew I’d wind up with Rand. I don’t mind a bit.

There’s a problem with this meme – the question where you have to choose the “set” that you’ve read all of (or the most of)… I could have chosen all three…I’m sure that means something, doesn’t it?

Here’s a link to the NY Times list so you can find authors and brief descriptions if you need them. Play the normal way – bold the ones you’ve read, italicize the ones you want to read, cross out the ones you are sure you will never read (I rarely cross any out). (my italicized [...]
