Book Blogger Hop


As my husband said this morning as he was leaving for work - TGIF!

It's Friday and it's time for the Book Blogger Hop. The Hop is hosted by Jennifer at Crazy-for-Books and it's a great way to find book blogs to follow. Over the past few weeks I've found some amazing blogs, some new, some well-established, and my to read list has grown very long!

So if you're hopping by, welcome to Curled up with a good book and a cup of tea. (Though the weather has been so hot here I'm thinking of changing the name of my blog to Curled up with a good book and an ice cold glass of water.) I hope that you all find some good reads!

Happy Friday,
Shan

    Hopping over to say hello. A great blog, I particularly enjoyed reading your thoughts on The Long Song - a book I read (but haven't yet reviewed)a few weeks ago but didn't enjoy. Nice to have met you, I've enjoyed visiting.

"The Guestbook" by Holly Martin

Image
Welcome to Willow Cottage - throw open the shutters, let in the sea breeze and make yourself completely at home.  Oh, and please do leave a comment in the Guestbook! Annie Butterworth is the landlady of Willow Cottage, a beautiful cottage in the English countryside with a colourful array of guests.  Every guest is encouraged to write their thoughts in the guestbook and do they ever!  Love, loss, happiness, sadness, guilt, affairs, births, and surprises, it’s all in there.  Even Annie’s life gets caught up in the book. As a young widow, Annie herself is going through some changes.  And the appearance of her brother-in-law, celebrity crime writer Oliver Black isn’t helping.  As the guests of Willow Cottage go about their seaside vacations, Annie and Oliver must figure out how to move on in their lives, and most importantly, if they will do so together. The Guestbook by Holly Martin is a lovely, sweet, and unique book.  Written in the form...

"Dreaming of Elsewhere: Observations on Home" by Esi Edugyan

Image
“But where are you from, really?” This is a question that Canadians of all walks of life are often asked.  Part of our identity as Canadians is that we all come from somewhere else, and no matter how long ago, it is a defining part of who we are.   But for many people, this question is about more than where their family came to Canada from.  For many, it brings about a question of home and belonging.  These are the ideas that Esi Edugyan explored in her 2013 Henry Kreisel Memorial Lecture, Dreaming of Elsewhere: Observations on Home .  Born in Canada to parents from Ghana, Esi Edugyan has travelled to and lived in various countries, all the while searching for her identity and coming to understand the meaning of home. As an author, Edugyan also reflects on Canadian literature and the notion of the “Canadian story.”  Her wildly successful novel, Half-Blood Blues , was set outside of Canada, and something she often heard was that it was not a t...
