Today we catch up on the Weekly Wednesday Blogging Challenge because I’ve missed a couple of weeks and honestly, there’s a couple of topics there I’m looking forward to rambling about! Thoughts On Fanfiction which can basically be summed up as I FUCKING LOVE FANFICTION! So, essentially, I’ve been writing …
Cassie Weird Food and What I’m Reading Wednesday
It is now Thursday that I’m getting round to posting this – but I did at least start writing it yesterday (Wednesday). The evening got a little busy, I got hyperfocused on completely my ‘Adult’ Autism Assessment referral form (the irony of hyper-focusing on something relating to being ND is …
Weird Real Life Events and What I’m Reading Wednesday
Li and I are still both sacked out sick on the couch, watching nature documentaries on iplayer and napping. She’s sorting out embroidery thread, I’m tidying up my new website and reading – although I’m not entirely sure how much brain I have for doing it! This week’s Weekly Wednesday …
The Sanctuary of Zeus, Bookish Characters, Extraterrestrials, and WWW Wednesday
I have finished doing the research for my end of semester assignment. I currently know far more about the history of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia, and the metopes and pediments of the Temple Of Zeus than anyone could possibly want to know. I am now filing the information …
Benedict Cumberbatch, Fictional Mothers & WWW Wednesday
I finished reading This Is Not A Book About Benedict Cumberbatch last night and it left me feeling quite disappointed. I was really looking forward to reading this, the subtitle of the book professed it was about ‘the joy of loving something – anything – like your life depends on …
Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge & WWW Wednesday
I am so discombobulated right now. Time is definitely doing that whole ‘wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey-stuff’. I blame the Bank Holidays. As much as I love having that long weekend off work over Easter and two short weeks, and there’s another Bank Holiday and short week next week, and then the week after …
Unique talents, reading burnout and What I’m Reading Friday
I had an assignment due yesterday – an 800 word proforma outlining the argument, sites and sources I think I’m using for my end of module assessment. Do you know how cool it was to be able to talk about why I want to use Euripides and the Labours Of …
Classic Literature, Mythological Creatures and What I’m Reading Wednesday
So, yesterday’s Top Ten On Tuesday asked 21st Century Books I Think Will Become Classics and honestly, I don’t have an answer to this, mostly because the kinds of books I read aren’t ones that would be considered for that status. It did, however, inspire quite the conversation between me …
Weekly Wednesday: A book setting you’d like to visit and why
This week, Weekly Wednesday Blogging Challenge asks A book setting you’d like to visit and why And OMG y’all, I have been trying to get to Narnia through the back of a wardrobe for like 33 years now! The BBC adaptation of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe aired …
Genres
I have come across two different blogging prompts/link ups this week that are asking the opposite questions to each other, so I thought I’d combine them into one post. First up, Weekly Wednesday Blogging Challenge! is asking Favourite Book Genre and why and while I’m not sure I can articulate the why, I can …
