This has been my favourite day of the advent calendars so far! The chocolate was so-so (sadly, it was dark again, like, super dark, 70% cocoa dark) but the short story was amazing, and it was only five pages! You can tell how excited I am about it in this video, I don’t think I normally get this animated. It’s raining men!!!!!
I started reading this book in Canada, and I finished reading it in Germany. This doesn’t really have anything to do with the way I enjoyed it, I just wanted to brag about the fact that I’m travelling to fun places right now. Instead of taking pictures of books with my cats, I’m including photos…

I recently reviewed a book by Zoey Leigh Peterson that explores a couple attempting to have an open relationship; it was…
I read this book in the dead of Canadian winter; it’s January, and the temperature is hovering around minus 40 (Celsius) with the windchill factored in. This is the temperature at which it literally stings to breathe in through your nose (my Canadian readers will know EXACTLY what I’m talking about). Luckily this is the…
To finish up my Halloween reading streak, I finished the The Virago Book of Witches by Shahrukh Husain this past weekend. Not likely a book you are supposed to read straight through in a few days (although that’s what I did), it offers over 50 stories about witches from various cultures around the world. Many…
