Learning 2.1

I have not kept this blog up-to-date since the finish of the Learning 2.0 course. We did start a blog at work that I try to write on regularly.

Blogging is a way to get my thoughts out on the net and share different points of views that other bloggers might have shared with staff who read our blog.

My bloglines is used daily. I have expanded my feeds dramatically since the course. I am adding new blogs, reviewing the blogs I have subscribed to all the time. I like to keep up-to-date on these. For me my RSS feeds are like reading the newspaper or watching the news each night. They are a must miss a few days and you feel overwhelmed with the amount of things to read.

I comment on other blogs when I feel strongly about something. But not very often.

Young Adult Historical





The Luxe a historical novel about love, betrayal and doing what is right for the family.

Although a historical novel reads as a contemporary novel that teens will latch onto.

I can't wait to read the next in the series.

Other people's lives



Australian authors Kathy Wilson and Kris Webb provied a novel that is an insight into the lives of five every different people with different life experiences and different places in their lives.

Having never read a novel that is quiet like this I found it intriguing. I particularily was fascinated by how two people in two different countries can write a novel together and make it a page turner.

A departure from my normal reading genre of romance I would highly recommend this book. I am also looking for other novels these two authors have written.

Paranormal and Historical




This week I have had a good week of reading yet again. I have read the new Jayne Ann Krentz "Sizzle and Burn" that would best be described as a Paranormal romance in the loosest term.
I have continued my reading of Philippa Gregory with "The other Boleyn Girl". The next book on my reading for next week is "The Boleyn inheritance" I have figured I find a good author and a series of books I am enjoying why change authors till I am finished.
I do have a few truly romance books to read that I am itching to get to but they will have to wait until I am through with the Philippa Gregory series. I feel I will need something light and not too substantial soon. Diana Palmer here I come!
