Beejay's Bits and Pieces: June 2012
http://beejay4016.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Beejay's Bits and Pieces. Some bits about books; some bits about music; some bits about travel; some bits just about - well, bits in general! Monday, 25 June 2012. I know that I have not been keeping up with this blog in the way I had intended, but I’ll plead a really heavy study load – a couple of hundred pages a week of reading on a subject which is not the most scintillating – and hope you forgive me. 8221; The best? What a great philosophy to live by; it’s got to be right 50 per cent of the time.

Beejay's Books: May 2012
http://beejay4016books.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Not reviews; just reactions. Wednesday, 9 May 2012. The Elegance of the Hedgehog (Author: Muriel Barbery). The Blurb from Goodreads:. By turn moving and hilarious, this unusual novel became the the French publishing phenomenon of 2007: from an initial print run of 3,000 to sales of over 2 million in hardback. It took 35 weeks to reach the number one bestseller spot but has now spent longer in the French bestseller lists than Dan Brown. My Thoughts on The Elegance of the Hedgehog. Renée, of course, is jus...

Beejay's Bits and Pieces. Some bits about books; some bits about music; some bits about travel; some bits just about - well, bits in general! Thursday, 22 January 2015. Has it really been this long? I can't believe some of you are still here. Looks as though I'm going to have to discipline myself, stop wasting time on Candy Crush (yes, guilty), and bring things up to date. How embarrassing . In the meantime, have a peak at something lovely. Taken at the fabulous Gardens by the Bay, Singapore. You may fin...

Beejay's Books: The House of Fiction (author: Susan Swingler)
http://beejay4016books.blogspot.com/2012/06/house-of-fiction-leonard-susan-and.html
Not reviews; just reactions. Wednesday, 13 June 2012. The House of Fiction (author: Susan Swingler). Is one of those names in literary circles, particularly here in Western Australia. She is right up there with Tim Winton. With Helen Garner, giants of Australian literature. To not appreciate her work is to be, in the eyes of many, an absolute philistine. Well, philistine that I am, when I read a newspaper article about a forthcoming book, Susan Swingler’s House of Fiction. Lovely old premises and eagerly...
