Radio Segment: Sticking to Your New Year’s Resolutions

ByAnne Logan January 11, 2017

January is always a fun time to dive into the non-fiction that’s been waiting on your bookshelf for a few months. You may not be achieving any goals, but by god you are reading about achieving goals, so that’s good enough right? In my latest book segment for the CBC, I reviewed: The Power of When by Michael Breus; Smarter, Faster Better by Charles Duhigg; and The Seasoned Life by Ayesha Curry. I also admit to knowing absolutely nothing about NBA players, but luckily Doug stepped in and rescued me. And I have a crazy high pitched laugh at one point in this clip, so listening to that alone is worth it. Click here to re-live my embarrassment.

Book Review: The Child by Fiona Barton

I was hesitant to pick up this book knowing it begins with the grisly discovery of a newborn’s bones, simply because I’m a) pregnant right now, therefore very emotional and b) already a mother of one child, which means I’m much more sensitive to stories that include any harm coming to kids of any age….

Book Review: Teardown by Clea Young

So it’s funny that I’m writing this review today, of all days. Mainly because I was lucky enough to meet the author of Teardown, Clea Young this week for the very first time. But I’ve spoken to Clea many times in the past, we’ve shared many laughs together, as well as many frustrations, but Monday night…

Book Review: A Killer Harvest by Paul Cleave

Ooooookkkkaaaayyyyy-do you ever read a scary story and think “what happened to that author in his/her life that gave them the inspiration to write such a dark book?” That is exactly what I was thinking when I read A Killer Harvest by Paul Cleave, because this novel scared my socks off! There’s two murders within…

Book Review: Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz

This may be the one and only time I say this, but for once I don’t resent the fact that this is an extremely long book: 600 pages! Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz is a classic whodunnit, and although the references to Agatha Christie in the blurbs are a stretch (how dare you, nothing will…

Book Review: The Fake by Zoe Whittall

While preparing for a ‘spring books to watch’ segment on my monthly radio appearance, I chose The Fake by Zoe Whittall for two reasons; one, I keep seeing it mentioned everywhere, so obviously the publisher has been successful in creating ‘buzz’. Secondly, it’s a work of fiction about a con-artist, which is always a fun…

Book Review: The Final Revival of Opal & Nev by Dawnie Walton

Recently there’s been a trend in publishing novels that focus on the 70s music scene, typically that focus narrows in on one band or musician in particular, a sort of ‘tell all’ story about their rise to celebrity. Both Glenn Dixon and Taylor Jenkins Reid released books like this, and I genuinely enjoyed them both….
