Forecast for the week

Currently Reading

25868918  18160904 764726

Jane Steele by Lindsay Faye (kindle) - About 80% done. Will hopefully be finished with it by Tuesday. And review by Wednesday Thursday Friday One surprising day.

The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert (paperback) - Not very far yet. But highly enjoyable.

Uneasy Money by P.G. Wodehouse (audio) - I'm struggling a bit to get into audio books lately. Concentration is not what it should be I guess. So I thought let's take a Wodehouse again. Always good for a laugh.

Cross my heart hope to read

32853299 34502469

Don't tell anyone by Eleanor Gray (Netgalley, Kindle) - I've actually kind of started with this already, but it intrigued me so that I've decided to put it down until I can give all my attention to it. Hopefully by Tuesday Wednesday end of the week.

You lost me by Marita van der Vyver (Paperback) - The Afrikaans title of this book is Misverstand and I will be reading and reviewing it in Afrikaans. Apologies in advance to all my English friends. 


Wishing you all a great week with an extra hour everyday for reading!

Mareli 


What was your week like? What are you reading this week?

    Oh yes, this pat month ha just been a capital FAIL in the blogging/reading department for me. So, I'm hoping to marginally improve, even if it's just a little. Have a good week, and happy reading! :)

    The Signature of All Things does sound interesting! I live in an area w/a lot of Reformed so I definitely got a laugh from that one!

      Have you enjoyed Jane Eyre? Not quite the same.... But very interestingly written. Will hopefully be finished tonight and share my thoughts and inky feelings somewhere during the week.

    I'm glad you visited me! I like your enthusiasm and humor. I had to look up "Thalk"! Okay - I'm a lawyer and way too methodical, or intentional, or something like that. Certainly not emotional. :-)
    I hope you'll consider joining us at Mailbox Monday - one more spider!
    I like the sound of the You Lost Me title in Afrikaans. Hope you enjoy the book.
    Thanks for being a bright spot tonight.
    Happy Reading!

      Hello Martha! So sorry for the late reply.....

      Thank you for your very kind words! I've been "absent" for a while and I actually struggle a bit to really get back in the swing of things. So I'm glad to hear I'm doing something right (LOL).

      Aah you don't have to look up "Thalk" - it's just a word-play on my surname. Instead of Talk, I spell it Thalk.

      I am definitely looking into Mailbox Monday (I've just made a note in my diary with a red pen). Thanks for the shout out!

      Thanks for stopping by and we'll thalk again soon.

Audio book: May 20 - May 26, 2016 Librivox recording - recorded by John Nicholson (I still vote for Sean Connery to do this reading) You know what I love about book reviewing and blogging the most? It gives you the freedom to google your favourite books and characters for hours and hours and if someone asks what you are doing you can quite honestly say: RESEARCH. (You might even glare at them over the rim of your glasses. For effect you know. Also make sure to have a pencil at hand. Again - for effect) Afterwards, you might sound extremely clever and give lots and lots of useless information to anyone who would be interested in listening. (I strongly suggest that you keep your glasses down on your nose and have that pencil either in your hand or stuck in your hair).

Paperback read between 4 and 10 May 2016 I have a confession - I don't read enough South African fiction.  After reading this novel, I realized that I can't call myself "proudly South African" AT ALL. I love my country, but I am not always proud of my country. But I will never be a Peter and say "I do not know you". I would rather be like a real prim and proper Afrikaans "poppie" and just keep quite and sit in the corner. And then someone like Tannie Maria comes along and she reminds you of a couple of things:  I love being Afrikaans I love the Klein Karoo I love koeksisters, bobotie, melktert, vetkoek and karringmelk beskuit I love vetplantjies I love the smell of the first rain on the warm dry earth I love SPAR (although I might check out the managers with an eagle eye hence forth) I love being white, but have a black friend that I can honestly call one of my 5 best friends ever.  I love reading a South African murder m
