Mugsy and I hope you had a lovely Christmas, and wish you a very happy New Year! Twenty twelve has a nice ring to it!
********************
Please congratulate Yvonne from Socrates' Book Review Blog and the Socrates' Cozy Café (the very title makes me wish I were curled up with a cozy mystery). Yvonne is the lucky winner of The CHICK-tionary by Anna Lefler. If you didn't win this time, please take a look at the other book giveaways listed on the right side of my blog.********************
No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to make a dent in my to-be-read pile. But I was reassured a bit to learn that a very prolific author has a pile of to-be-read books on her own night table! Her novels center around the lives of women, feature magical realism and myth, and are read by millions worldwide. Please visit Lost in Fiction for a short but wonderful interview with Chilean author Isabel Allende by Lucy Hannau.********************

Congratulations to your winner, and Happy Holidays, Suko!
ReplyDeleteI know that no matter how many books I read, I will never be able to put a dent in the pile, but that's ok with me, because I feel most happy when surrounded by toppling piles of books!
Well done to Yvonne.
ReplyDeleteAah the tbr pile that is both the curse and blessing of every book blogger I know - just when I was starting to make a bit of a dent in mine I got loads more books for Christmas ..... not that I'm complaining mind you.
I'm glad you had a wonderful Christmas!

I never catch up on my TBR pile either and my book blog is over 4 years old. So I've had plenty of time! lol. The pile of books just keeps growing though.
Happy New Year Suko :)
Naida, I think the to-be-read pile gets bigger as a result of being a book blogger--we get so many books!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments and I hope 2012 is a good year for all.
