- I wish I could read ___, but…
- I blogged about ____ this past week…
This past week I blogged about:
- #LoveOzLit: my project with Australian authors of every genre: I have emailed a growing list of Australian authors to ask them to be part of this — basically, I will send them out a question every couple of weeks, and (hopefully) get back something I can make into a quote I can post on my blog, Twitter and instagram. So far it’s going great, with YA authors, crime authors and children’s authors. I am sooo excited about this because it’s such a good way to get people talking about Oz lit: so! If you would like an Oz author added to my list, please let me know!
- THEN. A new Sandman Slim is out tomorrow and SOBS I am still one book behind in reading the series! This is my review of Kill City Blues: I love this series. It’s no holds barred snark, grittiness and blood, but it’s so good.
- #5Books: is my other project. Sort of. I get so many good recs from book bloggers for books, but I always lose track of them, so I started making a list to post every week. And then it became more than just books: all things literary to be honest. Thus far it’s Tumblrs and articles as well.
THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: Have you ever made a new friend because of a book? (or books)?

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your answer in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks! 😀
hi – I enjoyed your #5 books and following through found your list of British bloggers some of whom i have noted – its a great idea to write these things down – i keep seeing recomendations and jot them on a notebook and loose them
will have to emulate your ideas me thinks:)
Thank you, Alberta, and please do! I’d love to see any recs you find — I’m always trying to figure out how to expand the books/genres I read! I might go ahead and follow you across your social media now for when you try it!
#5Books is an awesome idea! Mind if I try it too?
Here’s my musing: https://shelfpickings.wordpress.com/2015/07/27/musing-mondays-change-has-come/
Thanks Cate — and yes of course, I’d love it if you give #5books a go. Was just commenting above that it’d be great to expand my reading horizons more by seeing different bloggers’ recs under the tag!(PS followed on insta)
#5 is a great page. Lists always help. And then getting them all together in one place helps more.
Oh snap, Malvika, I JUST now posted on your Musings! And, thank you! I kept losing track of all these great recs from other bloggers, until I had the idea for #5Books.
