Well, the weekly link-up I used to participate in on Wednesdays seems to have disappeared (I’d link you, but it’s a blank page now, so there’s really no point!). On the plus side, it gave me a reason to look around for a new link-up or two to try. I’ll be giving Book Blogger READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | DESIGN YOUR PERFECT WEDDING
Okay, so here’s the thing. I’m not a wedding person. I didn’t dream of white dresses and veils when I was a kid. I didn’t plan the ceremony and reception down to the last detail. I don’t really like romance novels (I just don’t buy them most of the time) and, quite frankly, I’m READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS WITH A UNIT OF TIME IN THE TITLE
This one threw me at first. I’ve got to be honest, I’ve never actually noticed how many books do have a unit of time (minute, hour, day, year) in the title. There are surprisingly quite a few just in the images saved to my blog! So here are the ones I could (lazily find) READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
It’s been a little while since I’ve done a Monday post, so I’m going to include everything I’ve read since the last one! I haven’t finished any books in this past week, so these are all historic. Just Shelved: Both of these were for the last round of the BookTube Prize, READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | A BOOK SET IN MY TOWN
If this prompt had been a movie or TV show filmed in my town, it would have been so, so easy. I live in Vancouver, better known as Hollywood North. I’m used to picking out familiar streets and landmarks while watching (some shows and movies that were easy to spot as Vancouver or the READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | COMFORT READS
This is a great prompt. I love reading for comfort, and I have so many books that are like old friends I can return to anytime I want, particularly when life is feeling dreary, doom-laden or just plan boring. Here are some of my favourite comfort reads! READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | (ONE) FAVOURITE BOOK QUOTE
I don’t usually write down quotes from books. I notice them, sometimes I add a page marker that will inevitably get stuck on another book when I put the one I’ve just read back on the shelf and end up marking a random page of a book I haven’t even read yet, but I READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | QUOTES ABOUT FEMINISM
I’ve done a bunch of book quote posts – quotes about reading, quotes with swearing, quotes about race, Oscar Wilde quotes – so I figured I’d tackle a new area of quotes and do another theme that’s important to me – feminism. So here are some quotes on feminism I loved from books. “I READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | WHAT I DO WHEN I’M NOT FEELING WELL
Anyone who’s been here a while knows that I live with more than one chronic illness. This makes pretty much everything complicated, but particularly illness. So I guess the short answer to the question of what I do when I’m not feeling well is simple: panic. This effect has only intensified with the arrival READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS I WAS SO EXCITED TO READ BUT STILL HAVEN’T
This prompt describes like 90% of the books on my bookshelves and TBR lists. I get so excited about all the new books coming out by authors I loved, books on book prize lists, books people tell me about, books on most anticipated lists and books on any topics I am particularly interested in. READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
It’s been a few weeks since I remembered to do a Monday post, so I’m going to just include everything I’ve read since the last one. Here we go: Just Shelved: . . . . Most of these I read for the BookTube Prize, so I READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | DO I BELIEVE IN ALIENS?
I’ve never really had much of a stance on this one. On the one hand, I don’t believe in little humanoid green guys who wander around in flying saucers occasionally popping in to accost someone on a rural highway (shame, really, cos I’d quite like it if there were a Paul out there). But READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKISH CHARACTERS
I love bookish characters. They’re some of my favourite people. I particularly like finding them in books. Here are a few of my favourites, real and imaginary. Aziraphale from Good Omens was the first one who came to mind when I saw this prompt. I loved READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BEST MOTHER IN A BOOK
Well, this one has a few different answers, because there are so many different types of mothers and kids, and sho many different ways to be awesome at raising a tiny human. Here are some of my favourites: Gerald Durrell’s mother is an odd mix of impulsivity, impracticality and a READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | ONE WORD REVIEWS FOR THE LAST 10 BOOKS I READ
Now I’m writing this well in advance partly because I usually do, but also because I’m currently reading books for the BookTube Prize and I can’t talk about what I think of any of these books until I’ve submitted my rankings and the judging for the Quarterfinals round is over on May 30th. So READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BOOK I’M MOST EXCITED FOR
I am amazed I was actually able to think of an answer to this prompt in less than ten minutes. And without any Googling! I’m that excited about this book which is coming out in June. I adored How to Be an Antiracist, and I’ve been putting a lot of thought into how to READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS WITH BOOKS AND/OR READERS ON THE COVER
This week’s prompt allowed us to choose a particular thing or theme often found on book covers (or less often if you’re in for a challenge). I love books about books, and anything to do with books always catches my attention. So obviously books that have books or people reading on the cover are READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BEST MEAL EVER
I’m not a foodie, not by any stretch. I like simple food, I don’t like anything with a strong or intense flavour generally, and I don’t eat meat. So by most people’s standards, in food terms, I’ve never lived. Fair enough, I suppose. So I’m not really who you go to for food advice. READ MORE
