Well this short story was an improvement from yesterday, that’s for sure. My make-up however, is a different story (pun intended). I look a hot mess this afternoon, mainly because I’m in between naps and Christmas parties. Although it looks like I had a rough night, I didn’t, I just got back from yoga and haven’t showered yet. Does that make me the worst youtuber ever? Probably.
The last thing anyone wants to hear right now is a warning. Haven’t we had enough of those? Even our traffic signs are being switched over to reminders about good hand hygiene. Although I agree this is all necessary, I’ve reached my limit of cautionary tales right now. Or, at least I THOUGHT I did,…
When a colleague of mine mentioned that she had raced through Ashley Audrain’s latest book The Whispers, I asked if I could borrow it to read myself. I rarely read books that aren’t my own, simply because I have a shelf bursting with books I already committed to reviewing from my publishing partners, but I…
Lots of people have been buzzing about this book since it came out last June.

Graphic novels are hot right now, it seems everyone is talking about them and with good reason; they are a wonderful way of communicating a story in a unique and visually delightful way. For those who aren’t familiar with the format, I’ve included a few pictures throughout this review to give you a better idea…
Technically this is a product + book review, because not only do I regale my viewers with (somewhat) insightful comments on Kim Thuy’s latest book Vi, but I also review some local chocolate by Master Chocolat! Yes, I’m really taking to this chocolate blogging thing, it’s a true passion of mine. I’ve also changed my…
I haven’t actually read a book by Chuck Palahniuk since his 2010 release Tell-All, which is also the year I met him, and helped organized his event here in Calgary.

Sounds good! And I think you look lovely :D I was somewhat distracted though by the fact that my cats decided to go mad and chase each other during it – a thing they haven’t done for about 5 years. I think they must be fed up with me saying how gorgeous your cats are… ;)
There is a short story collection I love, love, love about houses that leave out lots of great bits, and your video reminded me of it. It ties in moms in a way I haven’t seen before, a way that doesn’t suggest all mom’s stories are the same or must be “women’s fiction.” It’s called For Sale by Owner by Kelcey Parker.
cats can be so jealous sometimes…
oohh that one actually sounds familiar!
PLEASE READ IT.
