Down the TBR Hole is something that started last November, when Lia at Lost in a Story started filtering her TBR list. I keep seeing other bloggers joining in – the latest one to spur me into it was J
Time to read #CleanSweepARC Update
Finding time to read: you remember I started the month with the announcement I was doing the Clean Sweep ARC Challenge again this month? I thought you might like to know how it’s going at the end of week 3.
Clean Sweep ARC Challenge – may the fourth be with me #cleansweepARC
The Clean Sweep ARC Challenge runs throughout May and it’s one I look forward to each year. I should have posted Monday, but was too wrapped up in my own problems. Now I’ve got an excuse to post on May
Book Blogger Hop – Unfinished business?

#TackleTBR – Roundup post
Once again, I enjoyed my Tackle TBR event, and got through the books I’d planned to read. I added Holding to the list when I started so well, but I expected my cataract operation on my right eye to stop

Reading Challenges for 2015

Today I’m launching a new READING CHALLENGE for 2015. It’s open to young readers and adults alike, although I trust my adult readers will restrain themselves from adding totally unsuitable books for children in their posts (although I will be
