BLOGGING: It's Tuesday, where are you?



Thanks to tanabata for the updated button. Did no one notice the apostrophe catastrophe? Were you just too polite to mention it? I usually notice that sort of thing, I've read Eat, Shoots and Leaves, I correct abysmal lab reports. Anyway, onward with better punctuation.
We set a record last week with the most comments ever on Where are You? in one day. I didn't get a chance to reply to any comments like I try to sometimes, so it was all players. Well done! It's been almost a year since I started this little event and it is still fun, so let's continue shall we?

I am on Sloosha's Crossing in future Australia, and while I'm just halfway through the book, it is quite the adventure. There is a symmetry to the book, much like Frankenstein including the narrative perspectives changing, that I am really enjoying. I've been many places already in this book, and now I am about to take a return journey. (Cloud Atlas, by David Mitchell)

Where is reading taking you today? Post your own or leave a message in the comments, or both. Spread the word.

  9. I'm in Finch, a small Cotswolds village in England. I have a great new nanny who's made life with twin baby boys much easier. What's not so easy, however is the tension between the local villagers and the new archeological dig in the area. I really need to track down a missing document. Luckily my Aunt Dimity is helping by filling me in on some of the local history. Oh, did I forget to mention that Aunt Dimity is dead and speaks to me by writing in a blue journal?
