With Ma and Pa Gums in the process of selling house and preparing for a downsize move, my time has been taken up with many things besides reading - but I did get out at night in the last week to see a couple of adaptations of novels I've enjoyed in the past. There's still time … Continue reading My literary week (7), adaptations

My literary week (6), this and that
Life is a bit busy at present, but I am still reading - this and that, here and there, as you do! First, there's politics I'm not a political blogger so I don't want to focus too much on politics, but I did enjoy some of the signs carried by people attending the various women's marches held … Continue reading My literary week (6), this and that
My literary week (5), or, those reading coincidences
Last time I wrote a My Literary Week post it was because I'd scarcely read that week, but had some literary moments to share. This time it's because I've been reading things which have generated some thoughts that I want to document, but not in long dedicated posts. (I'm feeling lazy).

We've had more rain than usual, and we've had snow, which is rare for us though not unheard of. Our average July maximum is around 12-13°C but this last … Continue reading My literary week (3), mid-winter 2016
My literary week (2), or so
No, I'm not going to write weekly "My literary week" posts - my last one was, anyhow, two weeks ago - but sometimes things happen that I want to share, and bundling them up seems the best way to do it. Miles Franklin Award Shortlist The shortlist for Australia's best known literary award was announced last … Continue reading My literary week (2), or so
My literary week (1), in a sense
I say "in a sense" because my reading has been slow this week as Mr Gums and I have been getting back up to speed after our Lake Eyre trip. However, in terms of the literary world, much has been happening and I thought I'd share some with you, documenting it at the same time for … Continue reading My literary week (1), in a sense
