Yay! I ordered a couple of books from Amazon.com at the beginning of the month and they arrived today… Even better than Kalahari’s promised delivery time of the same books and cost nearly R200 less even including the shipping. The packaging they arrived in seemed a bit of an overkill though…. Yes, that [...]

A friend recommended Swan Thieves, saying it was the best book she read last year. I would not get that excited about it although I did enjoy it and can [...]

So yesterday was not all bad news. I found out that I was a winner on The Book Club Blog! Yippee, I never win anything so I am really happy. As soon as I read about this book “A legal Alien by Jo Latimer” I wanted to read it. Now I can’t wait to get [...]
