I still cannot stop feeling that lovely feeling of relief that the weekend is upon us which I used to feel when at the office, even though I am now at home, and today is no exception. There is very little coming up on Saturday and Sunday that I won't be doing the rest of the week, but still not used to it yet though I am sure I will soon.
I was looking at my last few postings and realise that I should perhaps review a book or two as this is meant to be a book blog but have been so busy with one thing and another that I am falling a bit behind so my apologies.
I was at the opera again last night, Tosca, and Bryn was terrific as always and Angela G was better than the last time I saw her, though I still cannot understand why everyone thinks she is so wonderful. Yes, she has a good voice but she is not a diva (except perhaps in the way she behaves), she is not in the same league as some other opera singers, for instance Joyce DiDonato, who I saw in Barber last week was so much better than Angela G, but is not so well known. I suppose it is down to a good publicist as well as having a voice. Still, a great evening but getting home on the late train is a bit of a pain and I am feeling really tired as I seem to have been rushing around from pillock to post for the last few days.
So this is going to be a bitty post today I am afraid but normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
One thing I do want to mention. I reviewed Beachcombing by Maggie Danaa few months ago and had the pleasure of meeting up with her when she visited the UK. I also had a prize draw which lots of you entered and was delighted with this. I know a lot of you who entered are domiciled cross the Pond and Maggie's book has yet to be published there and I wanted to let you know that Beachcombing is available through the Book Depository and with free postage as well. So, please do click onto the link HERE and order because the more sales are recorded the more likely that Maggie's second novel, which she is working on at the moment, will be published. And I, for one, will be very disappointed if that does not happen.
Second thing I want to mention - I have a super duper prize draw coming up this weekend. I have FIVE copies of a simply lovely delightful recently published book up for grabs. Wonder if you can guess which one it is? Bet you can and I will have details of this either tomorrow or Sunday.
Have a good weekend everyone.
