TSS: Reality versus the Grand Plan

December 30, 2012 ~ priscilla ~ 15 Comments

Today everyone seems to be posting their top 10 books and/or their reading stats for the year. I just realized, much to my chagrin, that I only read 34 books in 2012. Oh well. It was a pretty bad year for reading, and it was a pretty bad year in general. I don't think I'm … Continue reading TSS: Reality versus the Grand Plan

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone's day is going well. Around here we have some shopping and housework to do to get ready for family visiting for the American Thanksgiving holiday later this week. Hopefully I'll get a chance to squeeze in some time to read my new copy of Alice Munro's latest story collection, Dear … Continue reading TSS: Link Love 11/18/12

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you've all had a great day today. For your evening reading pleasure, here are links to some bookish (and not so bookish) things I read this week: Roberta at Books to the Ceiling reviews Midnight in Peking. This book piqued my interest after I read The People Who Eat Darkness … Continue reading TSS: Link Love 11/11/12

TSS: Link Love 11/04/12

November 4, 2012November 4, 2012 ~ priscilla ~ 5 Comments

For today's Sunday Salon post, I've decided to jump on the bandwagon with Teresa and Ana (and many others) and share some fun links I've found throughout the week. To me, the best part of blogging is having a community, however large or small, with whom to share things. Let the sharing begin! I've been … Continue reading TSS: Link Love 11/04/12

TSS: Small Island, Small World

March 25, 2012 ~ priscilla ~ 4 Comments

This has been a strange year so far. Not only have I not had much time to post here, I have not had much time to read. Most days I get only about 20 minutes or so before bed, and that's only if I can keep my eyes open that long. I did manage to … Continue reading TSS: Small Island, Small World

TSS: Schedules, challenges, and so forth

February 26, 2012 ~ priscilla ~ 8 Comments

Hello! My poor blog has been gathering dust and cobwebs the last week and a half while I try to catch up with work. Every time I think I am getting close, something comes along to throw me off track again, even if for a good reason. Last weekend I was supposed to work, but … Continue reading TSS: Schedules, challenges, and so forth

TSS: Plagiarism

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you all had a great week. I actually managed to get one book post in this week, for The Postmistress, so now I've only got two more to write this week and then I'll be back on track. Work is still super busy, but I feel like I have a … Continue reading TSS: Plagiarism

TSS: Running, Reading, and Blogging

January 22, 2012 ~ priscilla ~ 9 Comments

Happy Sunday, everyone. Today is going to be the start of a long week, because I am traveling to Seattle on Tuesday for work. I've never been to Seattle before, and I'm excited to see the city, but I admit that I'd rather stay home. I've yet to get back into a routine after the … Continue reading TSS: Running, Reading, and Blogging

TSS: DNF, or DNWF?

January 15, 2012 ~ priscilla ~ 13 Comments

I was looking through my books earlier this week, taking inventory for my TBR list, and I noticed something: I have a number of books in my TBR pile with bookmarks in them. I typically count these as part of my TBR, because to me, the fact that I deliberately left the bookmark in place … Continue reading TSS: DNF, or DNWF?

TSS: The Great American Novel

January 9, 2012 ~ priscilla ~ 13 Comments

Please forgive me for posting my Sunday Salon post on a Monday. I was busy and sick, sick and busy all weekend. If I wasn't doing laundry, taking down the tree, or cleaning house, then I was sitting in a stupor most of the weekend. I finished The Art of Fielding Friday evening, and a … Continue reading TSS: The Great American Novel
