WWW Wednesdays is a bookish meme that was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived by "fledgling writer" Sam A. Stevens on Taking on a World of Words. To participate, you just answer the Three W's: What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next? Currently … Continue reading WWW Wednesdays #2

Friday Book Memes #1: Song of the Lion
Here are two more memes that I am participating in for the very first time. Most bloggers combine these into one post so I am following along in that fashion. As mentioned in my WWW Wednesdays post a couple of days ago, I am currently reading Anne Hillerman's Song Of The Lion (and got to … Continue reading Friday Book Memes #1: Song of the Lion
WWW Wednesdays #1
This is another bookish meme that I have never participated in before now. It was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived by "fledgling writer" Sam A. Stevens on Taking on a World of Words. To participate, you just answer the Three W's: What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What … Continue reading WWW Wednesdays #1
First Chapter, First Paragraph: Tuesday Intros #1
In the earliest days of this blog, even before I moved to Southeast Asia, I participated in several book memes hosted by various blogs. Most of those posts are long gone but a few remain such as several installments of "Sunday Salon" -- the oldest one still on this blog is from 3 July 2011 … Continue reading First Chapter, First Paragraph: Tuesday Intros #1
Sunday Summary #39
Welcome to Sunday Summary, the meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. This was another week spent largely at home. In fact, the only day that I absolutely had to be somewhere on the other side of the island at a specific time was the day that we had the … Continue reading Sunday Summary #39
Sunday Summary #38
Welcome to Sunday Summary, the meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. This was an odd week. I didn't leave my home that much although I did get around to a few more places than usual. I feel I didn't accomplish much but I actually did. Most of the week … Continue reading Sunday Summary #38
The Week That Was #2019-11
It has been a fairly uneventful week-and-a-bit during which I have been going to work in a semi-holiday state of mind. April is definitely the slow period as far as education in Thailand is concerned as it is the summer vacation between school years. As the Thai New Year — Songkran — comes mid-month, most … Continue reading The Week That Was #2019-11
Reading Log #6: December 2013
The New Year of 2014 is off to a busy start. I've spent most of the last week substitute teaching in one of Phuket's largest municipal government schools in addition to working at two different language schools. My schedule hasn't allowed as much time for reading as I would like but I have still managed … Continue reading Reading Log #6: December 2013
Reading Log #5: November 2013
Wow! I managed to finish a whopping eleven (11) books in November, the last of which I completed just an hour before midnight on the 30th. I did spend about 200 minutes longer reading during the month while absorbing almost 20 pages less. I think that means I'm ruminating more on what I just read … Continue reading Reading Log #5: November 2013
