Book Blogger Hop!

Happy belated birthday to the Book Blogger Hop! For the past year, over 200 book bloggers have been joining in the fun at Crazy For Books. If you haven't participated before, do check it out!

This weeks question is: Do you read only one book at a time or do you have several going at once?

I generally only read one book at a time, but on occasion I have do have more than one going. I can have one fiction and one non-fiction book going at a time, but anything more than that, the storylines get all muddled up for me!

How about you?

    That's a good approach--1 fiction & 1 nonfiction. I've had a nonfiction book on the go for so long, it's been neglected by all the great fiction I've come across.

    I agree, more than one fiction book at a time and I get everything confused. I don't know which characters are in which books! I don't know how people can read more than one fiction book at a time!

    Have a great weekend!

    I like your approach to multiple books. I usually have two very different fiction books.

    Happy Friday!

    A fiction and a non-fiction should be fine. I can read up to 5 books at a time, all for different reasons. Right now, I've got 3 - one is a read-a-long, one is a slow-going classic, and one an easy to read non-fiction (the latter one is the one that I will finish first, and I'll have a new (fiction) book to follow it).

    Hopping through. I can read multiple books at a time. Sometimes it does get confusing but I sort it out quickly.

"The Guestbook" by Holly Martin

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...
