Ask BookieMonster a question I thought I'd give you a chance to ask me a question - about pretty much anything I write about! Want to know why I hate Ian McEwan? Want to know something about Trade Me? Want to know why I started...
Winter, begone! Hello sunshine... I really need to work on my headline writing. Aaaaaanyway, spring will be here tomorrow! Officially, though looking outside at grey skies I am not entirely sure spring knows that it is expected. Traditionally...
What's BookieMonster Reading? The Scandal of the Season... Oh, but reading has been a hard road recently. Why? I don't really know but I was in one of those "good book" slumps. As in, I couldn't find one to just latch on to and absorb without having to think too...
BookieMonster’s Father’s Day Gift Generator! Father's Day is almost here! And aren't Dads just great to shop for? They're always so easy, right, you know exactly what to get them, there's always something they need... Ahem. Sorry, I was lost in...
I’ve been a bit quiet. Sorry.
But I made the NZ Book Related Twitterer’s List into a Page all of it’s own. Link s’over there, see →
I have a motherlode of library books to get through in the weekend.
And finally, LoTR fans – you be hating on me, but I couldn’t agree more with this:
see more Lolcats and funny pictures
Okay peoples, I have decided to compile a list of book related peoples on Twitter. To make it a little easier to go through I’ve divided them into rough groups.
If you think I’ve left you off the list (woops, sorry) or you don’t want to be on the list (woops again) or you think I’ve put you in the wrong group (hey, I’m human you know) then please feel free to speak up! This is a totally moveable feast, as they say.

Phew. There’s a lot of you, isn’t there?
I don’t often venture far from books on this blog (and if I do it usually involves teh kittehs) but I really wanted to draw your attention to this great post by @catatonichic from Twitter on her blog Confessions of a Southside Catatonic Chataholic, about Waitangi Day.
But it’s not just about Waitangi Day, it’s also about national identity, personal identity, Maori identity and personal history. It’s awesome. I can’t really say more as I think the post speaks for itself. Please to read it.
P.S. I’m wrestling with a Sydney Bridge Upside Down review…. it will arrive later…
With thanks to @idealogmag on Twitter for sending me to this link for a Little Library.
That is a bookie’s Cute Overload right there. And check out this and this and this and this and… (yeah, just check out all of it from the links) 
P.S. If you’re on Twitter give me a follow (I’m a lovely follower-backer).
I was lucky enough to win a copy of Cut and Run by Alix Bosco from @penguinbooksnz on Twitter and now that I’ve read it I decided to do a re-giveaway! So make sure you’re following me on Twitter @bookiemonsternz for your chance to win it! (NZ tweeps only, sorry)
And don’t forget our Facebook page – please fan us (100 fans means we can get a proper personalised Facebook URL)!
