[TSS] Reading Breaks

May 16, 2010 Books and Reading

I am nearing the end of a very big indexing assignment – it’s been taking up most of my work time for the past two weeks, and I’m scrambling to finish in time for the Tuesday morning deadline.
One thing I’ve been learning about working productively is the value of taking breaks. And since I’ve been [...]

[TSS] Incoming! The Library Edition

March 21, 2010 Incoming!

This was a great week for me, library-wise – I had a bunch of holds come in, and then while I was doing my usual dash-in, dash-out to pick up my holds, I of course managed to snag a few more interesting titles.
Here are this week’s library treasures. First up, the print books:
Neverwhere, by Neil [...]

[TSS] Reducing My Stacks of Books: Ideas Needed

February 7, 2010 Books and Reading

One of the things my husband and I have been planning is downsizing our home once our daughter is in university next year; when that happens, it will be just my husband and I, and our six-year-old, and our current house is really too big for just the three of us.
So we’ve decided to use [...]

[TSS] International Book Giveaways List – Dec 6 Edition

December 6, 2009 Books and Reading

I’ve implemented some formatting changes in this edition of the International Book Giveaways list – I hope it’s just as convenient for everyone to use this list as before. The new formatting allows me to put together the list a lot quicker than before, which should mean I won’t skip some Sundays like I’ve had [...]

[TSS] BBAW Giveaways, and NaNoWriMo, Anyone?

September 20, 2009 Writing

I was just over at BBAW and there’s a massive list of Book Blogger Giveaways there – many of them are still open, so rather than re-invent the wheel this week, I thought it would be smarter to just point everyone over there to take part in BBAW giveaway fun.
Okay, yes, I was also feeling [...]

TSS: Currently reading Brown, Cabot, Fowler and Neville

December 7, 2008 Books and Reading

It’s Sunday again – time most definitely has been flying by. I’m currently reading four books, but this week is a hectic week for me in terms of editorial deadlines, so I’m not sure how many of these I will be able to finish up and review by this time next Sunday.
But there’s just something [...]
