Happy Valentine’s Day! As I continue my ‘month of love’ reading, this work of non-fiction about the marriage of Rosalie and Issy Sharp, the Canadian founders of the billion dollar hotel chain The Four Seasons, is up next.

But I was relatively healthy this year, which allowed me to take in…

The first was The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell, which I dug out of my bookshelf after reading a very insightful…

You made me laugh with your observations about what the public thinks about Canadian writers! Too bad that this was a disappointment but I’m glad you’re open to trying this author again.
Haha is it kinda true tho? We are all up in our freezing cold cabins haha
I TRAVELED THROUGH THE INTERNET AND CHANGED SOMETHING IN A CANADIAN HOME! 😮
Also, when I did my MFA in creative writing, there were two lows a writer could sink to: the worst was writing about other people in the class *awkward*

Hahah right???
