Ugh

Sick kitteh

I had a bit of a health mishap this past week, which would explain why I fell from the face of the earth (don’t worry, I’m okay now). It’ll probably take me a few days longer to get back on my feet, but the bookish chatter will eventually return to this space.

Meanwhile, Google Reader will inevitably get the Mark All as Read treatment, but I’d love it if you told me if I missed anything interesting. I really really mean it. I know people are often shy about leaving links to their own blogs, so feel free to point me towards someone else’s blog too. It will help keep me informed and entertained while I recover. You want to help keep me entertained, right?

  2. Hope you're feeling better soon. The colds and ick that have been making the rounds this year have seemed especially bad.

    And since you asked for a link, I shall once again point you to more Kate Atkinson love in the form of Jenny's review of Behind the Scenes at the Museum: http://shelflove.wordpress.com/2011/01/22/behind-the-scenes-at-the-museum-review-2/

  7. Ahh, I wondered where you were. Hope you feel better soon!

    I found this quite interesting, it's kind of bookish: http://thoughtcatalog.com/2011/dont-date-a-girl-who-reads

  9. I've been thinking of you and missing you. So so sorry you're not feeling well!

    ReplyDelete

  10. Oh no. :( I've been so absent lately that I don't even notice when people go missing, not even my wonderful friends. I'm a bad friend. :/ I hope you feel better soon Ana!

    Only two posts of note on my blog this week. First, I'm really seriously considering giving up writing: http://zenleaf.amandagignac.com/2011/01/personal-day-crisis-of-faith.html

    Second, and this is only if you've read Jane Eyre already, I reread the illustrated version and go wild on my thoughts. :D http://zenleaf.amandagignac.com/2011/01/cw-jane-eyre-by-charlotte-bronte.html

  11. Sorry to see you've been under the weather! Take care of yourself!

    ReplyDelete

  12. Sorry you were sick. I know that I personally am a terrible sick person: annoyed and annoying. :)

    I posted on the interesting discussion of beauty versus intellect in Vindication if you are interested: http://www.eclectic-eccentric.com/2011/01/to-gain-affections-of-virtuous-man-is.html

  13. Sorry you've not been feeling so well Ana, hope you're back to full fitness soon!

    I reviewed Will Grayson, Will Grayson this week if you want to know what I thought of it!

  14. I did miss you! Eva has an interesting discussion over at A Striped Armchair about what it means to be well read.

    ReplyDelete

  15. I'm so sorry my dear :( I hope you feel better soon!! I reviewed Kate Beaton's book and NO ONE commented I think because I offended everyone with the comic I shared :p It is the Shelley, Percy, Byron one, lol.

    ReplyDelete

  16. I'm glad you're O.K., and I hope you're back in good health soon!

    ReplyDelete

  18. oh dear, I hope you are 100% fine really soon.

    ReplyDelete

  19. I hope you feel better soon, Nymeth! Take good care of yourself......I posted today about a few of the books I like from around the world, but mostly just meandering because it's one of those days over here. Super cold - like the coldest day in over 10 years. I don't want to go outside tomorrow! I want to be sick too! lol not really, I just don't want to step out of my house. It's that cold!

    ReplyDelete

  21. So sorry you are sick! I posted my review of Hale's Book of A Thousand Days today if you are interested...

    ReplyDelete

  23. I wondered where you were :( Sorry you are sick and hope you feel better soon x x

    ReplyDelete

  24. Feel better soon! Rachel at Book Snob and I are hosting Virago Reading Week starting tomorrow, if you're up for it. :)

    ReplyDelete

  25. Oh no, poor you! Feel better soon Ana :)

    I have posted the GREATEST video ever on my blog about not being interupted when you're reading a book (you have to see this!) and also some piccies of where I read and blog if you're interested.

    Thinking of you x

  26. How awful to be ill. Hope you'll be well soon. And yes, I did miss your posts! :-)

    I'm not sure I'm in your Google Reader, but just in case, since you like a good book and maybe even willing to give one away, I wanted to let you know about the Literary Giveaway Blog Hop that I'm hosting (it'll run in February). Maybe you'd like to participate; http://leeswammes.wordpress.com/2011/01/24/literary-giveaway-blog-hop-february-19-23/

  27. Awww that is rubbish that you have been sick, get well soon!

    Also... cutest kitty ever.

    I have got active the last week or two and have had lots of reviews up - I would definitely recommend all the books I reviewed last week as good for sick people in bed!

    ReplyDelete

  28. Sorry you have been so poorly. I did wander where you had gone and thought perhaps you had gone on holiday.

    I wrote a post that I hoped might make you laugh. Typically English humour. Might cheer you up if you have been poorly http://serendipityteacher.blogspot.com/2011/01/life-as-we-know-it-my-dog-doesnt-love.html

  29. *hugs my dear friend*

    I hope all these links do leave you entertained. Seeing how I haven't posted on my blog in months, I can't point you in that direction. And seeing how I haven't really read blogs hardly at all in the last week, I can't even be much help there. Sheesh, Ana...I'm never of any help when you're looking for suggestions, am I? :P

    Oh, and I must agree with Yvann--I think that is the cutest lolcat ever. Poor kitteh.

    ReplyDelete

  30. Thank you so much for the kind words and well-wishes, everyone. And thank you to those of you who left me links. I shall now spend the afternoon leisurely pursuing them. I knew I could count on you.

    PS: Debi, don't make me smack you :P

    ReplyDelete

  32. *hugs* I feel you. Get well soon!

    ReplyDelete

  33. Haha! Yes, we do want to keep you entertained...so you can continue to entertain us with your fabulous posts! :)

    Get lots of rest and get well soon Ana.

    ReplyDelete

  34. Hey Ana, I hope you're feeling 100% again soon. The flu seems to be going around here too (I am guessing that is it, if it isn't well then my comment just looks silly). Sickness always happens when you can least use it, doesn't it?

    I feel a little silly for doing this, but I thought maybe you might like to read on this book I read in relation to Vindication, The Memoirs of Emma Courtney. Not that my post is especially good.

    Anyway, hope you feel better soon!

    ReplyDelete

  35. Oh, Ana! I hope you are feeling well again soon, and that you are bundled up with great books and some tea. I have been away too, so I know what you mean about getting caught up with the blogs!

    ReplyDelete

  36. Oh I hope you are feeling better today!! Trish from Hey Lady introduced us to a blog about Friendships that I've never heard of before. She's even coming out with a book about it soon!

  37. Aw, I hope you're feeling better now. I didn't post anything that I think was super-excellent last week, but you should definitely check out Amanda's post on Jane Eyre.

    ReplyDelete

  38. Oh noes, I hope all is okay! I started a new Top Tunes feature today, listing what I've been listening to over the past week. Complete with youtube links to keep you entertained :)

    ReplyDelete

  39. Hope you'll feel better soon, Ana!

    Heh, don't worry, you didn't miss anything earth-shattering on my blog ;) I reviewed The Moving Toyshop and the Maisie Dobbs books.

    This week is Virago Reading Week, but I'm pretty sure you know about that. I'm reading my first ever Angela Carter for it at the moment! :)

    ReplyDelete

  40. I'm glad to hear you're recovering and will be back on your feet soon! On Sunday I posted a invitation for people to let me know if we have some TBR overlap that they might be interested in informally reading together. You certainly don't have to join me, but just in case: http://erinreads.com/2011/01/sunday-salon-read-with-me/

    ReplyDelete

  42. Aww, poor kitteh. Hope you feel well soon. X

    ReplyDelete

  43. Poor you! Feel better! And, like, I don't normally do this, but I feel like this one idea I had will make your life better, so:

    http://jennysbooks.wordpress.com/2011/01/23/new-years-resolutions-a-manifesto/

    Feel much, much better!

    ReplyDelete

  44. Sorry you are ill Nymeth! Take it easy and get well and mark all as read. Believe you don't need the stress :)
    Sending you some hugs.

    ReplyDelete

  45. Feel better soon, lady! I posted on the Mariama Bâ novella for Phase 1(b) of Year of Feminist Classics, and found it very thought-provoking, especially right after Wollstonecraft.

  46. Hope it wasn't flu...because flu is dreadful. Glad you are doing better - I missed you.

    ReplyDelete

  47. Whew, glad you're feeling better. Stay well! When I first saw this post I meant to suggest you read Feathers by Jacqueline Woodson. Short and sweet and full of hope. So lovely, and lovely writing too. You can check out my review, but it's more me fussing about whether or not it's a good book club read or not. ;)

    Anyway, and then I realized I'd *meant* to comment and never did!

    ReplyDelete

  48. Feel better soon! happy little gardening post over here: http://nevertravelled.wordpress.com/2011/01/23/mid-winter-gardening-post/

    Looking foward to your return! I'm almost done with The Moonstone!

    ReplyDelete

  49. Get better!! I was sick all weekend...I wanted my mommy on Saturday!! :D

    Take care!

    ReplyDelete

  50. Hope you're feeling better soon! I've kind of been absent as well--just doing other things. So all you've missed is a pregnant tummy but there will be more of that I'm sure. ;)

    ReplyDelete

  52. I hope you feel better really soon Ana! Talk about "dropping from the face of the earth" ... seriously, if I don't post something soon I don't think anyone at all will still be visiting :o|

    ReplyDelete

  53. Hope you will be feeling better soon Ana!

    ReplyDelete

  54. Thank you, everyone! I'm feeling much better now :)

    ReplyDelete

  55. Sorry to hear about your health issues! Glad to hear you are all well now though.

    I might point you to my reviews of Algerian White (http://amckiereads.wordpress.com/2011/01/20/review-algerian-white-by-assia-djebar/) and also A Human Being Died that Night (http://amckiereads.wordpress.com/2011/01/24/review-a-human-being-died-that-night-by-pumla-gobodo-madikizela/) as I loved both!

    ReplyDelete

  56. All right. You asked for it, Ana. It's Chinese New Year today and I wrote a post celebrating it! Come visit me, please?...
