***Christmas Hiatus*** Dear Readers, You may have noticed Bookshine blog has been a little quiet of late? Unsurprisingly for someone with a long-term chronic illness, I have been grappling with a bout of ill health and after weeks of chastising myself for the resulting lack of review activity, I have finally decided to (temporarily!) throw in the towel. In other words, I am clocking off early for Christmas this year to get some proper rest.

***Christmas Hiatus***

Bookshine is taking a break (aside from pre-scheduled posts) but will be back to share more #booklove in the New Year!

Libraries are the BEST!

In fact, this year, I'm going to share how much money I save by using Library resources!

My library branches have $2k sewing machines, laser engravers, 3D printers...

Oh yeah. THIS is how you finance.
😊 💰 📚

A copy of Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace on a small brown table.

Infinite Jest update: gone beyond where I gave up last time and it's making a lot more sense. Still got a fair way to go though. Little white marker is the subsidised time years, metal / ribbon one where I actually am in the book and the last one is the footnotes.

@antoniahayes Loved the "Magnetism" chapter...#StillReading #ProgressReport

That thing where you can't take Grammar/Spelling Nazis seriously because of how many errors you find in published books. #stillreading
