This is one of those prompts I expect to have a really hard time with. I’m sure there are tons of books with amazing dynamic duos. But I can’t think of any right now. So this is one of those posts that I’ll be slowly (hopefully) adding to as new books pop into my READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | FAVE GENRE(S)
Most of the books I’ve read fall into literary fiction, which is kind of a genre, but also not as it encompasses SO MUCH. I guess if I had to pick one to read for the rest of my life, it would be that, precisely because it has such range. However, especially in recent READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS TOO GOOD TO REVIEW PROPERLY
This is SUCH a good prompt. There are so many books I didn’t review yet because I just can’t figure out how to do them justice, and others that I reviewed, but felt really nervous about posting! Here are some of them. A few I haven’t reviewed yet (or haven’t published reviews of): READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | WAYS TO SHOW YOU LOVE SOMEONE
I like this prompt, but it’s a bit of a tough one to actually write. I think that feeling loved is such an important part of establishing value as a person, and it is one of the best ways to help those around you, especially kids, feel secure. I’m a big fan of both READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | LGBTQIAP+ LOVE STORIES
Well, it’s that time of year again! Flower shops selling out, chocolate wrappers scattered throughout the entire house, and, Omicron permitting, forced dates going either extremely well or horribly wrong. It’s not a holiday I care much about, but this year I decided to lean into it with a list of LGBTQIAP+ books that READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | THEME SONG FOR 2022
Well, it’s a fairly obvious choice, but…. And then there’s this one that I shared as my theme song this time last year, but is depressingly still extremely apropos: There’s also this one, mostly just because I like it and it cheers me up some: And finally READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS WITH CHARACTER NAMES IN THE TITLE
This is a really interesting prompt. I don’t really notice when character names are in the title, but I probably will now! These aren’t necessarily my favourites that fit this prompt, just ones that I’ve either read recently or have sitting on the shelf in front of me! READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BEST BOOK/MOVIE/TV SHOW OF 2021
This week’s prompt is basically the best of last year. Books are easy, but I didn’t really keep track of which movies and TV shows I watched actually came out last year, so it’s a bit more of a challenge! Best books: I have a whole post about the best books I read in 2021, READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | NEW TO ME AUTHORS I DISCOVERED IN 2021
I had an amazingly good reading year in 2021. A lot of the rest of the year sucked, but that part worked out okay. So there were more authors I became acquainted with this year that I’m sure I’ll revisit, and some of these books are not favourites. READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | HOW I KEEP WARM
I am always cold. Partly genetics, partly medical issues, it’s something that has been a part of who I am for as long as I can remember. (My kid is the opposite and would happily run around in a t-shirt in December.) So I’ve gotten good at staying warm. My top tips: Layers. Lots READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | 2021 RELEASES I WAS EXCITED ABOUT BUT DIDN’T GET TO
There are so many books that came out in 2021 that I was really interested in… and didn’t get to. And guess what? That makes it pretty much like every other year. I NEVER get to all the books I want to read. Ever. And this particular list could go on for days. So READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BOOKS I WANT TO READ IN 2022
This could be quite a long post, because I have thousands of books on my TBR. So I’m just going to pick a few. There are so many more. But those are a few on my bedside table currently. What about you guys? Which READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | MOST RECENT ADDITIONS TO MY BOOKSHELVES
Weirdly, at least for me, I haven’t really been buying books. I didn’t even find many books under my tree this year. So this post was a bit of a struggle – the last books I bought, except for the first one, were bought months ago. And I don’t really remember which were the READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | GOALS FOR 2022
This prompt feels uncomfortably close to asking me for new year’s resolutions, and I don’t do those. I don’t really attach much significance to a new calendar year, I kind of feel like every day has the same potential for change and growth as January 1st. But I’ve got a few things I’d like READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | MOST EXCITING BOOKS COMING OUT IN EARLY 2022
I haven’t been paying much attention to the literary world lately. It seems, based on the last couple of years of reading, that starting in September there begins a sort of seasonal winding-down in my reading life. I read progressively less, and normally by the time I hit December, I’m fully on hiatus. I READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BEST BOOKS I READ IN 2021
I have had an absurdly good reading year. I don’t know how that happened – I went into 2021 not having read a single book in a couple of months. Every time I have a slump like that I have no idea when (or, indeed, if) I’m going to get back into reading. But READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS ON MY XMAS WISHLIST
I haven’t been reading as much lately, and I haven’t been following the book world, so I’m very out of the loop on new releases! So here are a few books that aren’t necessarily new, but that I’d love to see under the tree! READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | FUNNIEST BOOK I EVER READ
My answer for this week’s prompt might seem like a bit of an odd one. And it is, really. Because in addition to being the funniest book I’ve ever read, it’s also one of the most intense and serious books I’ve read. For those of you who aren’t familiar (you can click on READ MORE
