Hmmmm. This is a tough one. It shouldn’t be – I know there have been hundreds of characters I’ve come across in books and wanted to know more about. But for some reason I’m blanking on this one, and given that I’ve been sitting with it for over a week now, that seems unlikely READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MEET MY CAT
I’ve had several pets in my lifetime. I’m not going to pick a favourite, because that wouldn’t be possible or a fair thing to ask for. But I will introduce you to one of my current cats. His name is Opie, and he’s a tiny ball of fur who is super friendly and really READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | TITLES AND COVERS THAT TICKLED MY FANCY
Oh man, I’m going to pretty much just do this based on the bookshelf that is right in front of me as I type this, because there are SO MANY. I’m hugely attracted to books based on the title, cover or description. I will either be interested or not in a book immediately, if READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
I had a decent reading week this week. I finished a couple of books I’ve been working on for a while, and I really enjoyed one of this week’s reads in particular. Just shelved: I loved Alone Together. It’s a selection of writings by various authors from the US READ MORE
WEDNESDAY WEEKLY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | CHARACTERS I’D LIKE TO BE
The actual prompt for this week was a TV shows/books/movie that could be about me, but I couldn’t really think of any. So instead, I’m choosing a few characters I’d like to be, either long-term or for a day. People who either have some character trait that I admire or who get to do READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS I’D WANT TO HAVE WITH ME ON A DESERT ISLAND
This makes me think of desert island discs and is, I imagine, and equally difficult question! I mean, realistically, I’d want my Kindle and some kind of solar powered battery charger so I could have a few thousand to keep me busy until I was either rescued or died of starvation/was swept out to READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
I’ve had a great reading week this week. Mostly because of one book, a book that I only recently discovered, but that was exactly what I needed to read right now. Read on to find out which one it was! Just shelved: We Are Not Free is an incredibly READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | FIVE THINGS I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT
I’m not going to take this prompt literally, because if I did the entire list would be medicines that I literally can’t live without, my kid, and maybe food and water, and man that would be a boring list (other than my kid, of course, who is the best). So let’s try to find READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS I READ IN ONE SITTING (OR WANTED TO)
I’ve never been a very fast reader, so reading books in one sitting pretty much never happens. But there are a few that I’ve included here, and a few more that, had I been able to read faster or been able to read all day rather than needing to do things to keep a READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
I had a hard time sticking with one book this week, the result being that while I did do some reading, I only finished one book. But it was a great one! Just shelved: This is the third Angie Thomas book I’ve read, and I have to say, the woman cannot READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | FAVE HOLIDAY & RECIPE
So I’m not that big on holidays as a rule, but all the indifference I load onto Easter, Thanksgiving, Canada Day and Victoria Day is balanced out by my complete enthusiasm when it comes to Christmas. There are some great Christmas recipes that we make in my family, but I also use it as READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOK TITLES IN THE FORM OF A QUESTION
Another of these ones where I have to Google and comb shelves to try and find some that fit! Made it to ten, but aren’t all great picks, I have to admit! Well, that’s it READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
I didn’t manage to finish quite as many books this week as I did last week, but I still did a bit of reading. I also managed to get outside a little bit – had a family day with sprinkler and wading pool and take-out dinner on my in-laws’ patio – which was great. READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BEST MEMOIR/BIOGRAPHY
This is a great but difficult prompt. I can tell you right now, I will not be picking only one book this week! I enjoy memoirs if they’re well written and about an interesting person’s life and experiences. Even if it’s a person I don’t care about that much, if the book is good, READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | WHAT I LOVE ABOUT READING
What DON’T I love about reading? I mean, it’s basically magic. Here’s why: It lets me visit other places. Sometimes it’s a country I’ve never been to, sometimes it’s a time long past, sometimes it’s a whole other planet or imaginary place. I get to make lots of new friends without, you know, having READ MORE
LINK UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
So it’s been a while since I finished any books to include in a Monday post. Three weeks, to be precise. But this week I somehow managed to dive headfirst back into reading, and finally have something to report! Possibly enough to make up for the gap. Just shelved: READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | A PERSON WHO INSPIRES ME
This week’s prompt is a person who inspires me. This is my second go at this post, because it took me a while to come up with the right person to talk about. Mainly because of everyone I’ve ever known, read, or learned about, the person who inspires me the most is my kid. READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | NEW RELEASES FOR THE 2ND HALF OF 2021
I am writing this well in advance, and realizing that I haven’t even glanced at any lists of books coming up later this year. So I’m about to get into it and take you all along for the ride! Here are the books coming out from September to December that I’m anywhere form mildly curious READ MORE
