Disconnected

Happy New Year everyone! I can't believe that 2008 is here already, but I am really excited for the new start. I will post my resolutions and stuff for the new year soon.


I have been having internet trouble, so I haven't been able to get onto the web for more than 5 minutes in a while. Quite bleak. I feeel like I have been transported back to the middle-ages.

I will be back soon.

Reading Matters: My internet down-time has meant that I have had some time to catch up on some reading. Just finished reading the first thriller I have read in ages - Angela Makholwa's Red Ink. It is the first thriller ever published by a black woman in South Africa, released by Pan Macmillan last year. The story was refreshingly different and great. I love reading South African literature from time to time. It is a promising debut. I had the pleasure of meeting the author when I attended the Cape Town Book Fair last year - I am glad I finally got round to reading it.

Happy new year - hope the resolutions stick! I remember the launch for that book... wish I could read it now, hopefully it has had a far-reaching international release!
