Six Degrees of Separation – No Purrs, Just Talk

Six Degrees of Separation – No Purrs, Just Talk

Hi there Guys! It’s just me this month for Six Degrees of Separation. We are taking a long weekend and the fluffy ball of fur is at home with the rest of the fur-balls and a babysitter. So no unnecessary meows and purrs today, just straight talk and a quick post so I can get back to my reading, relaxing and drinking wine. This monthly fun meme is hosted by Books are my Favorite and Best: On the first Saturday of every month, a book is chosen as a starting point and linked to six other books to form a chain. Books can be linked in obvious ways, for example: same authors, same era or genre, or books with similar themes or settings. Or you might choose to link them in more personal ways: books you read in the same holiday, books given to you by a particular friend or books that remind you of a particular time in your life. The choices are endless here!  Our starting point this month is a book I haven’t heard of, but it just landed on my TBR pile: Without Elza, my creativity obviously takes a bit of a nose dive and I couldn’t think […]

Wondrous Words Wednesday – Catawampus

Wondrous Words Wednesday – Catawampus

Greetings you guys! How are you today? I am just a tad bit upset, but will tell you later. Yes, we are slightly late with posting our WWW post. Part of why I am so terribly upset. Today’s Wondrous Words Wednesday will be a really quick post, as my Mommy and Daddy are packing to go away for the weekend. Yes, of course that’s why I am upset! Wondrous Words Wednesday is hosted by yours truly. The concept is fairly easy – all you need to do, is share any new (or new to you) words you came across this week and share them with us. You are also welcome to share words you simply want to show off to us. For more on Wondrous Words Wednesday, you can click here. We got our word for today, from the lovely Wendy and Dani over @ ODaniGirl. They joined us two weeks ago and we simply love this word! Say it out loud. Gosh – that sounds so good. But I just don’t think the definition is suitable at all. I believe catawampus should rather be one of those spell words in Harry Potter where they simply wave the wand, say […]

Top Ten Tuesday – Alice? Alice?! Who the heck is Alice?

Top Ten Tuesday – Alice? Alice?! Who the heck is Alice?

Greetings you guys! It’s Tuesday and therefore time for Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. Today’s prompt is one that you can actually have a whole reading challenge on and not only 10 books. Books with names/Character names in the title. My Mommy actually really want to use this as a yearly challenge somewhere soon and I just know that we will get a whole list of new titles today. As my Mommy was falling asleep the other night, instead of counting kittens, she was thinking of names for this prompt. Always the teacher, she of course started with names in Alphabetical order. The first name that popped in her head, was Alice. And the second. And the third, and the fourth… Surely we can get at least 10 Alices! Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there by Lewis Caroll A Town like Alice by Nevil Shute Still Alice by Lisa Genova The Alice Network by Kate Quinn What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty Alice I have been by Melanie Benjamin The Strange Journey of Alice Pendelbury by Marc Levy Go ask Alice by Beatrice Sparks  The Truth about Alice by […]
