Mailbox Monday ~28~ Birthday Edition

April 30, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: In My Mailbox 10 Comments

I'm really excited to join Mailbox Monday! When I first started blogging and saw In My Mailbox posts, it seemed so natural to me to post them on Mondays.  It was a few weeks before I realized every one put these posts on Saturday which I thought was weird.  Mailbox and Monday just seemed to ...

April 27, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary 7 Comments

Book Review: Walkabout by Gary Taaffe

April 24, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Urban Hunters Collection Gary Taaffe

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series. In Walkabout, Billy goes into the "whitefella" culture for the first time and his culture shock is charming, honest and amusing. I loved the Australian lingo throughout the book. Some of the words I'd never heard before, but it wasn't too difficult to ... Read More »

Thanks to Penelope at The Reading Fever for doing this reading challenge!
