Greetings you guys! Good grief, you honestly only just about see me for Top Ten Tuesday this year. At least we haven’t disappeared completely – it has to count for something. Agh, we just love Top Ten Tuesday and we can see that Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl, is also quite busy with life outside of blogging. So we are ever so grateful to her for still hosting TTT! Today’s prompt is Ten most recent books I did not finish. I’m  not really good with this DNF thing. I normally prefer to finish what I start. That’s a cat-thing. If you chase the mouse, you don’t give up until you’ve made the kill. Mommy on the other hand, quite easily puts a book down. The problem is that she normally don’t even keep it on her Goodreads page and it gets lost in oblivion. What she does do, however, is place a book in her abandoned shelf. That is almost like taking a pet to a shelter if you can’t take care of it anymore or lo and behold – don’t want it anymore.  Taking a pet to the shelter is way better than just dropping it at the side of the […]

Greetings you guys! Welcome to this week’s edition to Top Ten Tuesday. As you all know by now, TTT is proudly hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. Top Ten Tuesday is a fun way to connect with your fellow bloggers and to just have some fun with books. Or that is our interpretation at least! Today’s prompt is Book Covers In the Colors of My Country’s Flag (It’s the 4th of July in the USA today, so tell us what country you live in and share book covers that match the colors of your country’s flag!) Both me and my Mommy are born and bred in South Africa. We are mostly proud of that (as you can see on our brand new graphic in the sidebar). For today’s prompt, we are going to have a bit of fun with our current loadshedding debacle here in SA. If you don’t know what “Loadshedding” means, you can read our Wondrous Words Wednesday post with a full description here South Africa has a very bright and colorful flag. We can’t say the same of our night skies at the moment. It’s mostly very dull and dark. I’ll quickly go through the first […]

Greetings you guys! Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday. As always, hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. Today’s prompt is one of those that we get every season and it is usually a wonderful way to sort your reading list for the next couple of months. Books on my Summer Reading list.  It’s anything but summery weather across South Africa this week. It’s dreadfully cold with wind and rain here in our little coastal town. Mommy was fortunate enough to catch a cold, but school only closes on Friday. So she just has to push through. Luckily she has a few really great books waiting at the moment. That always helps! Most excitedly at the moment, however, is Mommy and Daddy’s upcoming trip to Turkey! Yes, it’s still 5 months to go, but she is already very excited and of course she has to prepare as well as possible. What better way to prepare than by reading a whole selection of books! We spend the whole of Saturday searching for books set in Turkey, or with a Turkish setting in some or other way. So this is our upcoming reading list for this season. At once a fiendishly devious mystery, […]
