I Just Can’t Get Enough – The Top 5 Books I Want To Read Again

17th Jul 2018 by Norrie

So many books, so little time. The motto of all bookworms. So why would any of us waste our time reading books we’ve already read? Well, first of all, time spent having fun is never wasted! #wordstoliveby Depending on when you read the book, you might not remember all the details, and it’s nice to pick something up you know for sure you’re going to love. It’s comforting. You may have been at a completely different stage in your life […]

A Book Set At Sea

1st Jun 2018 by Norrie

I love the sea, and I love spending time at the seaside. That said, I’ve never been on a cruise, or spent significant time on the waters, and I’m not sure how I would cope with it to be honest. The dangers and the vast nothingness out there is somewhat frightening and I don’t think I could put up with spending days on end on a boat or ship without going a bit nuts. The 25th reading prompt for the […]

Reading Prompt: The next book in a series you started #3

23rd Apr 2018 by Norrie

I’m a notorious series-abandoner. Even the ones I actually like get dropped like hot potatoes, because I always feel like I need to take a break and then get distracted by other books. I have a few of these neglected darlings on my list, and this is the perfect time to pick them up again. When I say series, I mean those books that actually end with some sort of a cliffhanger, and you need to read the next book […]

Reading Challenge Prompt: A book by a local author #20

20th Apr 2018 by Norrie

I figured, finding books written by authors from London will be easy-peasy. Well, joke’s on me, because there really weren’t as many as I thought there will be. London is no small village, and yet, the number of authors who write the sort of stuff I read and I’m actually familiar with (meaning: heard of their existence) from around here is surprisingly low. So let’s see who made the cut for this reading challenge prompt. Jeffrey Archer Apart from being […]

Reading Prompt: True crime #2

28th Mar 2018 by Norrie

I don’t read true crime. I watch it. Devour it. I have spent many hours in front of my screen, binge watching true crime documentaries in glassy eyed silence, engrossed in stories of gruesome murders and senseless killings. I find human nature equally fascinating and horrifying. “No other genre is a more apt testament that our evil, primal, fearful selves linger just beneath our calm, civilised exteriors, that life goes on even after the worst has happened, and that all […]

Reading Challenge Prompt: A book with a female author who uses a male pseudonym #11

5th Mar 2018 by Norrie

We have come a long way from the time when Louisa May Alcott chose to publish her Gothic thrillers under the name A.M. Barnard, purely because the subject matter was considered ‘unladylike’ for a 19th century female writer. Female authors are still choosing male pseudonyms even today, but for somewhat different reasons: to enjoy anonymity, to try a new writing style, or experiment with a genre unlike the one they write under their well established names. That said, according to […]

Reading Prompt: A book about mental health #16

7th Feb 2018 by Norrie

Mental health is a topic that doesn’t get discussed often enough. We live in the 21st century where we have plenty of information about everything at our fingertips, and yet, mental illness is still regarded with suspicion, and declared a non existent issue by a lot. The stigma attached to mental illnes should not be a thing in our modern era, but it still surrounds us every day. I still encounter people who “don’t believe” in mental disorders. To me […]

Reading Prompt: A book with song lyrics in the title #28

29th Jan 2018 by Norrie

I love how random some of these prompts are. Choosing books for this one was a ton of fun. I came across quite a few titles that would fit this category, but I wanted my selection to relate to songs I actually like, because I’m fussy like that. So let’s rock! One for the Money by Janet Evanovich This book, named after the famous song by Elvis Presley, is the first in the series featuring Stephanie Plum, a bounty hunter. […]

Reading Prompt: A book from a celebrity book club #32

24th Jan 2018 by Norrie

I’ve never followed any of those celebrity book clubs floating around, nor have I been a part of any actual book club where you meet actual people and discuss books. I just can’t see myself sitting there and inevitably ending up in some sort of an argument about some fictional character, or a subplot, or story line. My mild anxiety is already playing up just thinking about this. Thank fuck, these celebrity book clubs don’t require actual face to face […]

Reading Prompt: A book that involves a bookstore or library #39

12th Jan 2018 by Norrie

According to the diploma I obtained at uni, I’m a librarian. I mean, information scientist, to be precise. Although I have always dreamed about working in a library, spending time among books, I’ve never actually had a job in one. Based on all the stories I’ve read involving librarians, I probably romanticized the idea way too much. Part of one my uni assignments was to spend sixty hours in our town’s library, and damn, was it awful! I admit, I […]

Book lover, cat hugger, coffee drinker, wiseass, capable of eating half a cheesecake in one sitting. Best not to approach before she had her breakfast. Loves a good thriller, but would probably not touch romance with a stick. Based on the amount of crime fiction she’s read, could probably solve a crime. Or not, but she would certainly try. Loves science fiction and secretly dreams about joining the Starfleet since she was fourteen. Hates ignorance and anything with coriander. Doesn’t operate well below 25 degree Celsius.
