Release #11

And this, Love: A Celebration by Sharon Bassin and Helen Exley, was my last release for My Bloody Valentine’s Day Release Challenge 4: The Prequel. Gave it to efou and she released it outside a rundown wine-cellar in Kamara, Thessaloniki, at about 17.00 on the 13th of February, the day before St. Valentines.

Release #8

Gliko Koritsy (:Sweet Girl) by Malvena Karali is the second book my parents took with them on their weekend in Volos. Only it was not released there, but in a small village nearby, Makrinitsa. They set it free outside cafe Epikentron, at about 15.00 on the 1st of February. It was already gone when they left the place…

Release #7

My parents went for the weekend in Volos, so it was a perfect chance for me to give them a book or two to release there. This first one, The Aquitane Progression by Robert Ludlum was released in cafe Next, on Volos’ waterfront, at about 20.00 on the 31st of January. No imagination though, they just left in on the table when they were leaving!

Drowned in sound: Can reading and music ever go together? »

Well, I can’t combine those two. I have to be completely focused in my book when I read. And instrumental music doesn’t work either…

I think to myself, “Self, this book is too good and if you read it too fast your brain might explode. Go slow.”

So that’s what I do.
