Are you Addicted to Books?

ByAnne Logan February 27, 2014

A wonderful friend of mine posted this article/list of pictures a la buzzfeed on my facebook wall a few days ago, and reading it made me realize that I’m not addicted to books (technically), but I love them alot*, more than most people. Another sign I love books? I have a bunch of bookmarks with the saying: “Books are the quietest and most constant of friends”, which is not only sad to admit publicly, but even worse because I haven’t even hit menopause yet and already I’m easily annoyed by people. What does that say about my social future?

This is essentially my life's motto, and I've literally said these exact words to people before — This is essentially my life’s motto, and I’ve literally said these exact words to people before

*I felt the need to make this distinction, because if you fall into the black hole of ‘internet comments’ at the end of the above article, you will see that one unfortunate soul literally is addicted to books, and has suffered quite a bit in her life because of it-yikes! Moral of the story-don’t read too many books, and oh yeah don’t read internet comments either because they’re a huge time waster

State of the ARC Meme

I rarely do meme’s (or it is memes?) on this blog because my reading is typically dictated by the book events or author interviews I’m scheduled to do. However, this seemed like a really easy one to join in on, and it appears other book bloggers are having so much fun doing these together, so…

Big News in the Canadian Writing World

Two important things happened this week in the Canadian book scene. The first, and probably most interesting (yet complicated) is the fact that the Writers Union of Canada will now allow self-published writers to join their ranks. Find out more about it here on their website. Some of you may not be aware of this,…

Goodbye Pearl

It’s with a heavy heart that I write this: our beloved Pearl has passed away, and because she played such a large part in this blog, I thought it best to alert all of you that you will no longer be seeing photos of her in my future posts. Pearl lived a good life, she…

New York Times “By the Book” Tag

Thank you to Jolie (aka Life of a Crazy Mom) for tagging me in this. I’m just starting to feel a part of the book blogging community, and these kinds of posts really go a long way in helping me find more book bloggers to connect with! WHAT WAS THE LAST TRULY GREAT BOOK YOU’VE…

I Went to a Cat Cafe and it was Glorious

The title of this latest post won’t surprise anyone. In fact, the only surprising thing about this whole experience was that it took me so dang long to go to this cafe, even though it’s only a ten minute drive from my house (the joys of urban living!). The Regal Cat Cafe here in Calgary…

The Calgary Awards

One of my Presidential duties at the Writers’ Guild of Alberta includes attending very fun events to represent our organization. Last night, the Calgary Awards was a perfect example of this. The WGA partners with the city to present the W.O. Mitchell Book Prize, so we always make an appearance at the event to help…
