So thankfully I liked today’s story more than the previous two; it’s a quirky little number that got me thinking, and I’m still pondering it now. I also have a surprise for you chocolate lovers (especially you, FictionFan!), because I just received a hefty Christmas gift that will most certainly lead me into the beginning stages of diabetes. I’ll have to try REALLY HARD not to eat it all at once!
I will fully admit to choosing this book based on the cover alone; the single square of chocolate signaled to me that within these pages, I may find the solution to my chocolate addiction. Now don’t get me wrong, I would never give up eating chocolate entirely, but I would like to have better control…
A little bit of horror, a little bit of satire, and alot of fun, Dr. Edith Vane and the Hares of Crawley Hall by Suzette Mayr is a wonderful read for those looking for something unique. And university lit professors-they will guaranteed love this novel, but let me explain a bit further… Edith is a…
Watching cheesy Hallmark Holiday movies seems to be a regular Christmas tradition these days, but I’ve never seen one of these movies, and I don’t intend to start. I have so many questions about them too, mainly, where does one find them? Do you still have cable to access a Hallmark channel, or do you…
So there’s a new book club in town, and no, I’m not leading it. But I am excited about it! It’s called the Alberta Reads Book Club, and it’s a government initiative highlighting the wonderful breadth of books that our province publishes. The inaugural book pick is Pass Me By, Gone Fishin’ by Kyle Simmer…
Like most book nerds, I have a special fondness for stories that take place in libraries. Maybe it’s because libraries house my favourite things, or maybe its because libraries are where I have some of my fondest memories of being with my mother, or maybe it’s just that libraries are where I feel safest outside…
The Institute by Stephen King is the perfect book to mark the beginning of the spooky season, and even though there are no ghosts in his latest release, there are more than a fair share of ghouls that are terrifying enough to haunt your dreams. Fair warning to those considering this as a future read;…

*gasps and faints* A SACK of chocolate!!! I’m so relieved for you – the thought of you having to survive on these boring bell shaped chocs has been weighing me down. And see? Now you have a SACK of chocolate, you loved the story – clearly proving the mood-enhancing properties of choc all over again! Sadly I haven’t heard of Martin MacInnes (am I spelling that correctly?) but since he’s a fellow Scot I shall look out for him – this story sounds great… :D
I know right? All I want for Christmas is a sack of chocolate, and I got it!!! Do you guys have Lindt chocolates over there? Are you a fan?
We do! Mmm… yes! I love Lindt. But then I love almost any kind of chocolate except the really dark stuff.
it sounds like our chocolate tastes are really aligned—how do you feel about cadbury milk? It’s one of my favs!
Love it! But my fave is Galaxy – do you get it? Mmmmmm……..
Yes, Galaxy is harder to find here, but I really like it. I think had Galaxy quite a bit when I lived in Australia for a short time actually…
I showed my husband the 17th video in which you mention Duckie and then we watched the 18th together. His comment? “WHERE DID DUCKIE GO??” 😂 I haven’t heard of MacInnis either, but it sounds like he’s great at writing short fiction. I’m still most interested in the story told by the laptop.
Well my daughter has taken a liking to duckie, and decided she wanted to sleep with it. So..duckie is tucked in her bed somewhere, amongst other Christmas ornaments she’s slipped off our tree…
