Kreativ Award and Latest News

I was very excited this week to discover With Extra Pulp to be the recipient of its very first award!!! Thank you J.T. Oldfield for the lovely award that reminds me of a watermelon, what with the green and pink design. ^_^ :P

So the dealio is to now name 7 things I like and 7 blogs I like, which is going to prove a difficult task. Hmmmm.

Seven things Elena Likes:
1. Sleeping with my heatwheat pack in winter
2. Re-reading favourite books
3. Watching documentaries about chimpanzees and wishing I could have one as a pet
4. Singing and dancing to David Bowie loudly in my room
5. Discovering new music
6. My puppydog, Max, who is still in Brisbane :(
7. Regina Spektor’s new album that I’m listening to right now!

Seven Blogs Elena Likes:
1. Mad Bibliophile: Mae writes great posts, and usually leads me to discover a whole bunch of books I suddenly want to read. This was one of the first blogs on my blogroll, and also has sentimental value ^_^
2. Literary Minded: Angela is someone whose work I’ve come to look up to, and is as quirky as the Crikey writers come.
3. 3000 Books: Estelle keeps us Aussies up to date on the latest in the literary world. And she’s funny to boot.
4. Another Cookie Crumbles: Uncertainprinciples has some greatly entertaining posts about all things bookish, plus a bit more.
5. Not Dark Yet: This blog is about writing and arts in general, and features some pretty groovy poetry.
6. A Guy’s Moleskine Notebook: Yep, Matt actually writes in his Moleskine, and then transcribes it onto the interwebs. Insightful comments + intelligent literary criticisms = one of my favourite book blogs.
7. Cheeseburger Gothic: Brisbane author/journo John Birmingham blogs about all sorts of things, as random as the title of his website. Another writer I look up to (not to sound too much like I’m sucking up)….

In other news…Over the weekend, I have graduated, had a fantastic going away party, and moved to Sydney! So while I get settled in, I will try and have a review up this week. But I am currently reading about 4 different books, and the chances of finishing one of them soon are slim.

Lucky for you, my readers, I have provided you with a list of blogs already, to read while you sit in anxious anticipation of my next review/post.
