Welcome to all Book Blog Hoppers


Welcome to The Reading Life


Follow Me and I will Follow you Back

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 focus on  ever evolving genres of literature 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.  

Every week Jennifer poses an interesting question for us-here is the one for this week:


“What are you most looking forward to this fall/autumn season – A particular book release? Halloween? The leaves changing color? Cooler temperatures? A vacation? (If your next season is other than fall/autumn, tell us about it and what you are most looking forward to in your part of the world!)”


We have no changes of seasons (we have wet and hot followed by dry and hot-I prefer the wet season)-I am looking forward to the release of IQ84 by Huruki Murakimi


I will follow back all who follow me-just leave a comment letting me know you are now a follower

    That's a shame about the weather. I would rather have the wet too vs the hot!

    Have a GREAT weekend!

    Just dropping by for the blog hop. Your climate sounds a lot like mine here in Florida. Wet and hot, then in the winter it's dryer and still warm.
