Welcome to The Reading Life
I have been an on and off participant in The Book Blogger Hop hosted by Jennifer of Crazy for books for a long time. I have found it to be a great place to discover new to me blogs and meet some great book bloggers.
My blog and my reading focuses on an ever evolving collections of reads but for now I am very into South Asian Short Stories, Japanese fiction, classics, Katherine Mansfield, Flannery O'Connor, Elizabeth Bowen and Virginia Woolf. I also read a wide variety of short stories and review an occasional carefully selected new work.
My blog is the home of Irish Short Story Week centered around St Patrick's Day. I am open to book blog events. In August I will be the joint host on August 17 of Indonesian Short Story Day and on August 31, Malaysian Short Story Day. These events will be hosted by bloggers with a special knowledge of the culture of these two countries.
Every week Jennifer poses an interesting question for us-here is this weeks question:
Let’s talk crazy book titles! Highlight one or two (or as many as you like!) titles in your personal collection that have the most interesting titles! If you can’t find any, feel free to find one on the internet!
Interesting question!-One example for me would be The Elegance of Hedgehogs by Muriel Barberry-I was really intrigued by the title and wanted to find out how hedgehogs could be elegant

That is a great title. A book I have always been curious about but yet to read. I will one day.
ReplyDeleteWhen God was a Rabbit was the title for me! once I read it of course I realized where it was going...

Hah! That title is very intriguing. I definitely don't associate hedgehogs with elegance.

Darn you picked the one I would have chosen, this is definitely the best of all the 65 books I have read this year. When you have had experience with French janitor, (I'm French) and well with this very special one, the image is absolutely perfect. My review of this great book is here:
