Books, chocolate*, swimming regardless of the weather, John Irving, bread and salty butter, yellow, fresh sheets, the smell of coconut, singers called Barry**, six course meals + matched, lovely stationery, turquoise water***, Melbourne, Berlin, Miami, eighties pop, laughing until there are tears, gin, Art Deco lines, a good cry, ABBA, author talks, opera, keeping my photo albums up-to-date, Carlton, sandwiches, nail polish, wishing I could sail, reading, reading and reading.
If these things appeal, I think we can be friends.
*sigh* I sound terribly shallow… I’d like to think I’m not. This blog is just a little corner of my life (mostly just the bookish bit but there’s food as well and sometimes I’ll include show-off holiday snaps).
Thanks for stopping by,
Kate
* chocolate with mint or chocolate with hazelnuts – you decide

If you enjoy the humor genre I would welcome to the opportunity to send you a PDF copy of my new book entitled ‘Merciful Flush’. If interested just shoot me an e-mail address. Thanks!
Is that Lance Armstrong offering you a book about flushing drugs out of his system? (sorry couldn’t resist – the timing was perfect) 🙂
Hi Kate, can you please drop me an email at write.to.annabelsmith [at] gmail [dot] com as I’d like to ask you something which is perhaps best done via email? Thanks
Pairing books and food! Kate you are a woman after my own heart! Thanks for your comment. I’m on L plates with my blog but it’s great fun 🙂
Well I think you’ll find blogging is a little bit addictive! You might want to check out the Foodies Reading Challenge – sounds like you’d be the perfect candidate. http://foodiesread.blogspot.com.au/?m=0

Hi Kate, I’m looking for a book for a friend, MST, so was looking in biographies, and came across Turning, A Swimming Memoir by Jessica,J Lee which I’m sure would interest you
Thanks Bill, I’ll check it out.
I can relate to quite a few things on your list, Kate. Let’s see now, great big ticks would be: books, chocolate, ABBA (went to see them in concert when I was a young thing), lovely stationery, turquoise water, author’s talks, reading, reading, reading and several more. I know, why don’t we just celebrate our “shallow” depths! ☺️
Very, very jealous re: ABBA…
They were good!
Hi Kate, I’m from Hybrid Publishers, a small publishing firm in Melbourne. Are you interested in receiving a book to read/review from time to time? I’d alway write first to check.
Any chance you can share your goodreads? I want to be able to see which books you’ve highly rated easily! Thank you!

Do you have a blog email address for personal comments/requests etc?
Hi Sue. I can be contacted on katrina.w [at] ozemail.com.au
Hello Kate,
I did try a #6 Degree post. You can see it here: https://emandyves.wordpress.com/
I hope you find it interesting.

Thanks for joining in!
Books, chocolate, ABBA and Melbourne? I am in!
Pleased to meet you.
Hi, Kate, This is Kay of whatmeread. I wanted you to know, in case my message to one of the others doesn’t get forwarded to you, that your email has been blocking my Literary Wives reminder messages as abusive. ???? If this isn’t on purpose (I hope), do you think you could find out how to unblock me?
Hi Kay – it is absolutely not on purpose! I’m not sure what has been going on… I’m blaming a recent and ferocious Outlook update because there were loads of messages in my junk mail that normally go to the inbox. I hope it is fixed. Kate
