Book Review: Anxious People by Fredrik Backman
Is my reading palette less refined for loving a bestselling book? Should I be embarrassed that I easily jump on book bandwagons with the rest of the world? Maybe some fellow book critics see it that way, but I certainly don’t. Good books sell well because they are good! I finished reading the super popular…
Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 14
Wowza, ok this video is way more up-close and personal than I had hoped for this early in the morning. No make-up, not even brushed teeth in this one, but I really enjoyed today’s short story so you have a glowing review to look forward to. Oh, and Smokey makes an appearance too, as does…
Book Review: Hey, Zoey by Sarah Crossan
For the month of August, I read a few books that featured teachers as the protagonists, as many people turn their thoughts to the ‘back to school’ mindset while summer gears down. Hey, Zoey by Sarah Crossan is about a woman named Dolores; she’s a teacher whose marriage begins to fall apart after she makes…

So kind of a weird story today. In fact, it’s not even really a story, but I felt like I had somewhat insightful comments on it nonetheless.
Video Review: Bellevue Square by Michael Redhill
My Canadian readers won’t be at all surprised to see I’m reviewing Bellevue Square by Michael Redhill because it won the richest literary prize in Canada back in November: the Giller Prize. I’ll be honest though, I had no intention of reading it until my book club chose it. I’m glad I did because first of…
Book Review: The Ghost Woods by C.J. Cooke
The atmosphere of The Ghost Woods by C.J. Cooke is a winning combination of ghosts, witches, creepy houses, and eerie secrets that you’re better not knowing.

“But Santa’s into sluts, that’s why he says ho ho ho!”–my husband
Did you read the publishers spooky box, or whatever it was, chosen by Patton Oswalt? I think it was all horror themed. They should do that next year with the advent calendar. Seriously, publishers put out calls for themed stories all the time, and people either write them it submit ones they’ve written.
bahahaha that comment sounds exactly like something my husband would say!
I didn’t read the ghost box, but I’d like to! It was all horror or gothic themed I think. You’re right, I’m surprised they didn’t specify the stories needed to have some holiday-ish ness to them.
I would have thought mistletoe would have been an essential tool for an aspiring slut…
right???
Catching up, obviously…
I liked the fire – thought it was a nice change of pace and nice lighting.
I agree, this kind of story should have been included earlier in the month, from the sound of it. “Santa would not approve” – that made me laugh!
he sure wouldn’t! My husband did though :)
