My Reading Life

Thinking Out Loud: Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

Jun 29, 2022 / Theresa Smith Writes / 18 Comments

Virginia Woolf. Up until last week, unread by me. Now I can say I've read her, but am I richer for the experience? I buddy read Mrs Dalloway with a friend, which was a good thing because I might not have persevered without the back and forth chat confirming that my reading experience of Mrs … Continue reading Thinking Out Loud: Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

A Month of Reading: June

Jun 29, 2022Jun 29, 2022 / Theresa Smith Writes / 10 Comments

A much slower reading month for June. More work and more bustle in life generally tends to crowd the reading out. My total for the month was seven books read. Almost averaged two books a week, which when you put it that way, isn't so insignificant, particularly taking into account such busy times. I read … Continue reading A Month of Reading: June

The Week That Was…

Jun 24, 2022 / Theresa Smith Writes / 21 Comments

When you finally find the perfect dinner set in the colours that match your decor... ~~~ Book mail! These all arrived on the same day this week! ~~~ What Zeus has been up to: Musing about how good life is now that he has a bed in every place he needs to go... ~~~ Joke … Continue reading The Week That Was…

The Week That Was…

Jun 17, 2022 / Theresa Smith Writes / 12 Comments

Trying to squeeze as much of this in as I can between busy work days. ~~~ Joke of the week: ~~~ What Zeus has been up to: Thou shalt not eat without me... ~~~ What I've been watching: Finished the latest season of British Bake Off and now moving onto the latest season of Australian … Continue reading The Week That Was…

The Week That Was…

Jun 3, 2022Jun 1, 2022 / Theresa Smith Writes / 12 Comments

Winter is here and so is the cold and flu season. Too many people around me have been hit with one bug or another. I'm holding fast and so far, so good. Fingers crossed I can make it through uninfected! ~~~ What Zeus has been up to: Once again, it's a dog life, as in, … Continue reading The Week That Was…

A Month of Reading: May

May 31, 2022May 30, 2022 / Theresa Smith Writes / 11 Comments

Nine books for this month. I feel like I'm slowly getting back to my old ways, reading more and more each month. I also made some inroads with my personal reading challenges this month. Classic Reads: 2 books! Yes, two classics this month. The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Pursuit of Love. Both excellent. … Continue reading A Month of Reading: May

The Week That Was…

May 27, 2022May 25, 2022 / Theresa Smith Writes / 10 Comments

Winter is creeping in up here in Queensland. Southerner's can mock all they like but as soon as I need to break out a throw rug... The best time of the year for reading. ~~~ Joke of the week: ~~~ What I've been watching: I'm loving this, based of course upon the novel by Sally … Continue reading The Week That Was…

The Week That Was…

May 20, 2022 / Theresa Smith Writes / 8 Comments

It's been raining quite a bit here of late, perfect reading weather! And also, perfect weather for pot meals. I invested in a second smaller French oven, for those times when I want to use two, or make something smaller. You can never have too many French ovens...right? ~~~ What Zeus has been up to: … Continue reading The Week That Was…

The Week That Was…

May 8, 2022May 7, 2022 / Theresa Smith Writes / 10 Comments

We celebrated Mother's Day early last night with a gorgeous three course Italian meal. ~~~ Five years of Zeus this week. I will admit, when it was suggested that we adopt a Husky, I was sceptical, but he's been a joy since day one. ~~~ ~~~ What I've been watching: Getting Downton vibes from this... … Continue reading The Week That Was…

A Month of Reading: April

May 2, 2022 / Theresa Smith Writes / 4 Comments

It was a bit of a slow reading month for me throughout April. I only clocked seven books in total, six of which were five star reads though, so once again, quality is winning out over quantity. All seven were review books, so no progress on my 22 in 2022 and the classics shelf remains … Continue reading A Month of Reading: April
