I’ve switched to The StoryGraph
I've been considering a switch from Amazon-owned Goodreads for some time, and this year I decided to finally make the change. I'll be tracking my reading on the StoryGraph from now on; find me there as lory_enterenchanted. I will still be visiting Goodreads to check out what my friends are up to (the social element … Continue reading I’ve switched to The StoryGraph
#BookBloggerSupport22 Challenge
This month, for the Support Book Bloggers Challenge I thought I'd shake things up a bit and look for some random blogs I would not have come across otherwise. I scrolled through the Search panel of WordPress Reader and picked out a few posts that caught my eye, then commented on them. As a bonus, … Continue reading #BookBloggerSupport22 Challenge
Support Book Bloggers Challenge: Books I read because of other bloggers
I picked this prompt from the Support Book Bloggers Challenge because my reading is very influenced by other bloggers -- probably at least half the books I read are due to this. The reason can range from individual reviews, to a blogger's love for a particular author, to specific reading events, and even personal recommendations. … Continue reading Support Book Bloggers Challenge: Books I read because of other bloggers
Happy tenth anniversary to the Classics Club!
The Classics Club Blog is celebrating its tenth anniversary, and it brings back lots of fond blogging memories. From 2014 to 2019 I participated in this challenge to read and post about 50 books from a self-determined list of classics in five years, and I had lots of interesting experiences along the way. You can … Continue reading Happy tenth anniversary to the Classics Club!
#OneWord2022: Connecting with the head
One of challenges for this month's One Word linkup at Lisa Notes is "Google your word or look it up on Wikipedia or in a Bible concordance or dictionary. Find out something unique about your word this month. See if you get a new insight." The word "connect" yielded no results when I searched for … Continue reading #OneWord2022: Connecting with the head
Support Book Bloggers Challenge: Ten posts I commented on
I have been very remiss with this challenge hosted by Pages Unbound. I took part in January and Feburary and then forgot all about it. Sorry, fellow book bloggers! I do still want to support you (the challenge is just a pretext). This month I'm linking up to some of the posts I have commented … Continue reading Support Book Bloggers Challenge: Ten posts I commented on
Summer in Other Languages 2022
June has sprung suddenly upon me, so it's time once more for my personal Summer in Other Languages challenge. All are invited -- if during the months of June, July and August you would like to read anything in a language you consider "other" (other than your native language, other than you usually read, or … Continue reading Summer in Other Languages 2022
Ten More Book Blogs I Love
Last year for the "Love Freebie" at Top Ten Tuesday, I listed Ten book blogs I love. Of course, it was hard to stick to just ten, so I thought I'd do the same again this year! This also meets my February goal for the Support Book Bloggers challenge, an extra bonus. Here are ten … Continue reading Ten More Book Blogs I Love
A new challenge: Support Book Bloggers
This year I'm going to go easy with the reading challenges. Selecting particular titles I intend to read is almost a guarantee I won't read them, of late. So I am going to do more free-form and spontaneous reading, letting my interests lead me along the way. However, I came across a new challenge I … Continue reading A new challenge: Support Book Bloggers
