Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 23

I’ve got a brand new background for ya today! And some insights from my husband on this latest short story which has a very creative title (wink wink).


I’ve been reading some wonderful mysteries lately, so imagine my surprise when I added yet another 5-star book to my goodreads list! The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton is the first book of his that I’ve ever read, but now I see why everyone loves this author. Despite its length, I was…

I haven’t done the greatest job of posting regular book reviews on my youtube channel, so I thought I’d take advantage of my holiday decorations and post a review of a Christmas-themed classic mystery story. I picked up Portrait of a Murderer by Anne Meredith after reading a review of it over on FictionFan’s blog,…

This past week I spoke about books that deal with the subject of family. I realize this is a pretty broad topic and can encompass most everything that has ever been written, but I used it as an excuse to talk about my favourite picture book ever: A Family is a Family is a Family,…

This book has one of the most unique storylines I’ve come across in years; How to be Eaten by Maria Adelmann is all about a support group of women who come together in the basement of a YMCA to tell their stories. The twist is that each woman is a famous character from a fairy…

I groaned inwardly as I read the description for this book as a ‘literary western’. I generally hate the western genre, I find it very dull, I don’t like guns and I’m not really a horse person, so what is there for me? Luckily I picked up Ridgerunner by Gil Adamson anyway, mainly because I…

Happy Halloween! Today is the perfect day to curl up with a spooky read (really, the entire month of October is) and I’ve got a stellar recommendation for getting you into the Halloween spirit. The Lighthouse Witches by C.J. Cooke landed on my doorstep towards the end of this month, so I squeezed it in…

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 :)
