New Year, A New Beginning

Happy 2013 readers!!

No, no I wasn't about to abandon this blog just yet - I love it too much!! So what have I been up to for the past a year-and-a-half, you ask? Well, I got pregnant and have been busy raising a kid that's what. She's almost a year old now (talk about how time flies!) and I'm ready to pick up from where I left off =) Seems like a good timing, what with the New Year and all.

So yes Playing Librarian is back. I'm not trying to be too ambitious in terms of the number of books I have to read this time though, I don't have much ME time nowadays (my 100 books a year plan in 2011 & 2012 went down the drain). I want to take things at my own pace and just enjoy what I love doing the most - reading, that is - and share them in this blog.

Glad to be back =)

Congratulations! Being a parent is the most wonderful hard work you'll ever have. No wonder you've been busy! Glad to see you back, though ;)

Currently Reading

This is the third novel in Jeffrey Archer's compelling saga, the Clifton Chronicles.

1945. The vote in the House of Lords as to who should inherit the Barrington family fortune has ended in a tie. The Lord Chancellor's deciding vote will cast a long shadow on the lives of Harry Clifton and Giles Barrington. Harry returns to America to promote his latest novel, while his beloved Emma goes in search of the little girl who was found abandoned in her father's office on the night he was killed. When the General Election is called, Giles Barrington has to defend his seat in the House of Commons and is horrified to discover who the Conservatives select to stand against him.

But it is Sebastian Clifton, Harry and Emma's son, who ultimately influences his uncle's fate. In 1957, Sebastian wins a scholarship to Cambridge, and a new generation of the Clifton family march onto the page. After Sebastian is expelled from school, he unwittingly becomes caught up in an international art fraud involving a Rodin statue that is worth far more than the sum it raises at auction.

Does he become a millionaire? Does he go to Cambridge? Is his life in danger? Best Kept Secret will answer all these questions, but once again, pose so many more.
