Book Blogger Hop

It's time for the Book Blogger Hop, hosted by Jennifer at Crazy For Books.  Today is the end of the first week back to school.  And the end of my first week waking up at 6:30am to get my daughter off to the bus on time!  So it's safe to say I've been tired all week long!  But I think now I'm starting to hit my stride and it will get easier from here.

This weeks question for the Hop is: What book series do you never want to see end?

 I've never really been much a book series person.  I'll read them, but nothing I've become attached to the way people have with say, Harry Potter or Twilight.  But there are a few that enjoy that I hope continue to put out books for years to come.  These include The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith, the Annika Bengtzon mystery series by Liza Marklund, and of course the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella.

What series do you hope will never end?

    I am a bit attached to Harry Potter & hated to see it end. I haven't read the entire Shopaholic series, but should look into the rest of them.

    I chose Harry Potter... but not particularly because I want Harry's story to go on, I just really like the world she's built and would love to see more books in that series. XD

"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...
