Quote of the Week
“A good library will never be too neat, or too dusty, because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them.”
― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can’t Avoid
Quote of the Week
“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”
Welcome to the New Year
Hello Book Lovers,
After a long and relaxing summer break, we are heading back into reviewing mode for 2014.
This year you will find our reviews coming out on Wednesdays and our quotes on Fridays.
We have some plans to revamp the look of the blog in the upcoming months, so look out for that.
As well as a new look we have an idea that should help you find your way to your favourite writing periods from each blog post, which we will roll out in a couple of months.
Don’t forget that we are always happy to hear from anyone who wishes to write a review, just check out our Join the Review Crew page for details. Previously published reviews are welcome too. The more voices, the merrier.
If you like to read what we have to say about the 1001 Books, don’t forget to spread the word amongst your bookish friends. We can be followed by email, Twitter, Facebook, Google+ or the old fashioned RSS feed. Look for the pretty, new icons in the sidebar of the blog.
Happy Reading everyone!
Summer Holidays
Hello lovely readers,
It is that time of year again. Summer has arrived in our part of the world and that signals the start of the holiday season and enjoying time with our families. We will be taking our annual holiday from posting reviews and will be back in the first week of February next year. In the meantime we will continue to post quotes that catch our eye, and anything else that we think you might like to know about.
We would like to thank all the reviewers who have contributed to the blog this year, we love hearing your reading experiences with the 1001 books and look forward to you joining us again in 2014.
I would also like to specifically thank Ange from Tall, Short, Tiny & a Pickle for joining our editorial team this year. Your contribution to the reviews and the administration of the blog has been immense. Thank you so much!
We would like to wish you all a happy and safe holiday season, many books read and a fabulous 2014.
