It's 1962 Mississippi and three women - aspiring writer Skeeter, professional nanny/maid Aibileen and sassy maid Minny -come together for a project that puts them all at risk. By now, most bloggers are well aware of the ample charms of this engaging novel. I was one who was initially put off ...

Newlyweds Margaret and Patrick embark on a yearlong adventure living in Kenya which ends up putting strain on their marriage. As soon as Nicole heard I was going to Kenya, she generously offered to send me this novel and I was excited to have the opportunity to read it while I was there ...

Today Wendi is talking about the World Cat feature. And as per usual, I just checked it out today for the first time. I looked for my edition of George Orwell's 1984 but didn't find it. But I do have another kind of world cat for you today too - a Lamu cat I snapped a picture of in a alley way ...

During my trip I used 5 different guidebooks. For general safari planning, you can't go wrong with Fodor's THE COMPLETE AFRICAN SAFARI PLANNER which covers Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Victoria Falls. For each country, the guide covers the gateway city, the must-see ...

When I heard that actress Angelina Jolie had published her diaries of some of her trips as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), I was mildly interested. Especially when I read that she went to Ecuador and Cambodia, two countries I've visited myself. So when ...

During our stay in Kenya and Tanzania, we went to quite a few national parks and reserves and were lucky enough to see all of the big five (elephant, buffalo, lion, rhino and leopard) and get a decent picture of 4 (all except the leopard who was too quick for us). We saw zebras, giraffes, tons ...

I was so captivated by this premise: Cassie can see a faint glow around the heads of people who are about to die. Why does she have such a strange power and does she have the moral responsibility to tell what she knows? Cassie is rather more robust than your typical teen. Once her nana dies, ...

I'm still going through all my trip pictures (I took well over 500 - unusual for me), but I'll go ahead and show you a few places we spent the night. The scariest place we stayed in was a banda at Robert's Camp at Lake Baringo, Kenya where we were the ONLY guests. Bandas are simple huts with ...

This week's question from Wendi : Have you ever participated in SantaThing (it is in its third year)? If so, what did you like? Dislike? Are you planning to participate this year? I never have, though I do think it sounds fun in theory. Since I've already signed up for a bookish Secret Santa ...

Just got back this morning from my 18 day trip to Kenya and Tanzania (in case you've wondered why I haven't commented on your blog in ages...). I only spent about 3 hrs of that time on the Internet, and it really was a welcome break. I read 4 novels on my vacation, including two for the ...

Still in Kenya, but I couldn't let you go a week without Emmy and Finn. This one I like to call - "well, I didn't want to work today anyway." Enjoy!

to write a novel just for her - one she'll have to love. Hilarity ensues. This is an ambitious, smart novel which I highly enjoyed. Not only does it have a ...

I'm in Kenya right now, so most likely no LT Tuesday today for me. But you still get Emmy and Finn (aren't I generous?). Our printer broke recently, but at least it is still good for something:

Yep - that time again (and now especially relevant considering the recent FTC guidelines). Another 20 books have been reviewed, and this is where I got them: No Time For Goodbye by Linwood Barclay - bought at a discount at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2008 Sometimes We're Always Real Same Same by ...
