Looking for Alaska
John Green

Another great book and events it covers are so true for teenagers (as I remember it anyway). A teenager goes to boarding school to escape his mundane life at his day school. What befalls him there is more than he expected - friendship, sex, practical jokes, love, tragedy and finally a way out of the labyrinth. The final essay was really powerful and moving and a great summation of the book. It also made me reflect on the lack of freedom that we adults have in our daily lives.

Learning How To Run My Blog

Apologies to all my avid readers!!!
I got lost in the " Now I have a blog what the heck do I do with it" syndrome. And paralysed by the fear of what to use for content and the fear of having to committ to creating posts on a regular basis.
So I have just finished a mutual internet coaching session with my friend Reiner and we have both set a couple of goals. Mine are to post regularly and learn how to get photos and links embedded into my blog. To see the result check out my review on "The Hour I First Believed" - I'm quite pleased with the image and the widget I added to it.
Reiner (on his home page) is going to move the picture up into his banner and add some affiliate links. See his before image here: Reiner's website
Any and all suggestions on blogging are welcome.
Watch out for my regular posts from now on.
