I’m feeling perkier and perkier as we inch closer to Christmas. Part of that is because my cold is improving (yay!) but another big part of it is the fact that I can now taste food again, specifically chocolate. As you’ll see in this latest video, I received a big beautiful gift of chocolates last night which I’m very excited about. Plus, I’m enjoying the majority of the stories in my short story advent calendar, so things are looking up!
I received Wenjack by Joseph Boyden as a gift a few years ago, and have been meaning to read it since then. Considering it’s so short (102 pages), it’s a shame it has taken me so long to get to it because it’s a very well written novella and beautifully packaged to boot. Regardless of…

I’m tight on time these days (isn’t everyone at this time of year?) so I’m squeaking in these videos right at the tail end of my toddler’s nap.

Generation Dread by Britt Wray is a work of non-fiction, exploring the increasing climate anxiety that many people are experiencing, especially younger generations. Despite some of its dire predictions and…
So first off, I know I’m technically writing Jo Nesbo’s name wrong. He’s from Norway, so he’s got this cross symbol in the ‘o’ of Nesbo (you know the one). I highly doubt WordPress has any way of inserting this symbol easily into a post, so I’m just going to let it go. But I…
I’m getting to that point in my bookworm years when I completely forget if I’ve read a particular author before. I was sure that Care Of by Ivan Coyote was my first book of theirs (they go by the plural pronoun fyi) but according to this very old blog post, I’ve read and loved Coyote’s…

We feel very similarly about chocolate, Anne. 🙂
Yay! Chocolate lovers unite :)
