The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes & Booker Reading Update

by Athena // March 30, 2012 // No Comments
This was my first Julian Barnes book, and I don’t think it will be my last. I’m curious about his other works now. I think I rather enjoyed myself even though there were few real characters and a perplexing ending.... Continue reading →

Booking Through Thursday Relating

by Athena // March 29, 2012 // 2 Comments
BTT this week is about fictional characters: Are there any fictional characters whom you have emulated (or tried to)? Who and why? What literary character do you feel is most like you personality-wise (explain)? I don’t think I have tried... Continue reading →

You deserve nothing by Alexander Maksik

by Athena // March 27, 2012 // No Comments
This book is on this series “Tv Book Club”. Since I read at least a couple of books from each series of the show, I have decided to put it as a tag. As of this review, I have not... Continue reading →

Return of The Sunday Salon

by Athena // March 25, 2012 // 1 Comment
It’s been awhile since I did the Sunday Salon. I’m not even sure if it’ll go though so this is a test post of sorts. So I have not been reading books very much this week, but I plan to... Continue reading →

Lansinoh Lanolin

by Athena // March 24, 2012 // No Comments
Lansinoh Lanolin has had a high rating and repurchase rate on MUA for awhile now. I’ve known about it for a year, but was hesitant to purchase it just as a lip balm for the night. Still, after working the... Continue reading →

Booking Through Thursday – Anything I can do you can do better

by Athena // March 22, 2012 // 5 Comments
My first Booking Through Thursday in over three years! This is one of my favourite Memes. Patricia asked: Ever read a book you thought you could have written better yourself? My immediate answer is “probably”, but I am not a... Continue reading →

First Work in Progress (WIP) Wednesday

by Athena // March 21, 2012 // 6 Comments
I have resolved to blog more about knitting so I will be doing Tami’s WIP Wednesday and Finished Object Friday when I can. Lately, I haven’t been knitting too much and to be honest, the last project I did, I... Continue reading →

Sungkyunkwan Scandal

by Athena // March 20, 2012 // No Comments
My first post about an Asian Drama. In the last year, I have watched and enjoyed Asian Dramas more. While I have watched them growing up, it was only recently that I actively sought and enjoyed them. I don’t watch... Continue reading →

2007-2009 Weblog Entries Restored

by Athena // March 19, 2012 // No Comments
From 2007 to 2009, a WordPress weblog existed here at aquatique.net. It was hacked in early 2009 and at the time, I was doing my Masters degree and had no time to fix it. Since then, I’ve put off due... Continue reading →

The Number Mysteries by Marcus du Sautoy

by Athena // March 18, 2012 // No Comments
This is a book about math. I am not quite sure how to review it given my ineptitude in this subject. In recent years, I’ve made more of an effort to read more math(s) and science books. My background is... Continue reading →

The Borigas Season 1

by Athena // March 16, 2012 // No Comments
I knew Jeremy Irons was in this series, but Derek Jackobi and Colm Feore too? That pushed me into watching and also seeing a snippet of some of the production values. Though, they aren’t the only reasons I stayed. I... Continue reading →

Monthly Movies February 2012

by Athena // March 14, 2012 // No Comments
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (01 02 2012) – What is there to say really; it was fine. I feel the director didn’t take it all too seriously and there was some nice visuals in there actually. I... Continue reading →
