Featured at the Broke and the Bookish

Guess what? I have a review up over at The Broke and the Bookish. It's a review on the awesome trivia dictionary Phraseology:Thousands of Bizarre Origins, Unexpected Connections and Fascinating Facts about English's Best Expressions.

I think when I find awesome entries, I may post them here. Maybe I'll make it a feature. Trivia Today! We'll see... though I will do one now

to gird ones loins literally means "to wrap a belt around ones waist" - as belting loose clothing would allow for freer bodily movement, and the saying is now used to mean "to prepare oneself for something requiring strength and endurance"

Competitive Bibliomaniac started as a blog where I could review the books that I had been reading for various challenges. As my reading habits have moved a bit away from the challenge aspect, so has this blog. Occasionally they still pop up :)

Each post is dedicated to a challenge I have recently completed or completed in the past regarding reading. I participate in many different internet challenges and wanted a place to review my findings as well as display the wide array of books I've found. Each post starts with the challenge, then how I completed it along with a little review.
