Perched up on the ridge, they call it Cannon Rock.

One of the views from today's tour around LA :)

I'm on a Harry Potter actor spotted-in-airport spree it seems. I still cannot believe my luck on this one! While in the Qantas F lounge in SYD, I look over and see Tom Felton (actor who played Draco Malfoy). I watch to see if he was in the middle of something, but it looks safe enough to catch...

NLA bookshop has a copy, but also $70. I get a staff discount though! Maybe I can find a copy while I'm in the states next week? If you'd like, Cossie?

To continue the theme of books about books, I'm now reading The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, but I'm halfway through and enjoying it. I think I will revert back to my usual programming of fantasy novels soon. I will have to ensure my tablet is...

I thought the movie was done quite well indeed. Not often a movie adaptation is done well, but I think it worked well for this one.

Despite flying with them a fair bit in the last twelve months for work, I think I'm a relative newbie to Qantas. And I'll soon be embarking on a J trip SYD-LAX return. Would appreciate tips for making the most of it. Will I get pyjamas? I've heard that's a thing. I think my seats are in the...

I have finished the urban fantasy I was reading and took a break from fantasy for a brief moment to read 84 Charing Cross Road. I love books about books (side effect of being a librarian I suppose) and I love stories told through letters and/or diary entries. So totally enjoyed this one and...

I spotted Miriam Margoyles at ADL airport yesterday afternoon! I waved over at her, but I don't think she saw. I know her mostly as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter movies :)

I've seen Wool around, but didn't know much about it. Post-apocalyptic sci-fi interests me too!

I've had a flurry of busy work with work, which somehow translates to me not wanting to read for pleasure as much. (I don't know how my brain works either). But I'm on book three of the trilogy now, slowly making progress. One of the locations within the book is LA, which I will be visiting soon...

It has been a while! Unfortunately I can't make it, but I hope it goes well :)

Oooh that's gorgeous!!

I too prefer hard copy, as the photo of my library will attest, but I do also have a collection of e-books as they are so handy when travelling. Much easier to lug a tablet around than a suitcase full of books. I like the idea of book-crossing. I often swap books in and out of the little street...

While not a direct answer to your question, would a library be a suitable option? The National Library of Australia has free wifi and lovely quiet spaces in the reading rooms. Only down side is that you can't take calls in the reading room if you needed to dial in to a meeting or something.

Currently reading the Devil's Diadem by Sara Douglass. A medieval alternate history/fantasy novel. It's been a while since I've read any of Sara's work and I'm keen to re-read her stuff again.

So, when's the next AFF Luxury Escape holiday? ;)

A sad note to end a lovely holiday, but I like to think he knew you were on your way which allowed you the chance to say goodbye. Hopefully you can pick up the plans you had for the rest of your journey another time.

Looks very familiar indeed! Ten points to hmm, Ravenclaw? I wonder what Hogwarts house you're in Roo. Sorry to hear about your friend.

So atmospheric! I bet it smells really good too. (That's not weird, right?)
