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).

Book Review: A Short Walk Through a Wide World by Douglas Westerbeke
A unique premise of a book always draws my attention, simply because there are SO many books being published these days, it feels like many are a recycling of older themes and ideas. But when A Short Walk Through a Wide World by Douglas Westerbeke was pitched to me, I immediately asked for it because…

Do you live in Calgary? Have you always wanted to be a part of a book club, but felt that your friends weren’t ready to actually commit? Do you want to talk about books with treats readily available? Me too! That’s why I’ve started a summertime book club in partnership with Wordfest, to run from…
Book Review: The Hike by Susi Holliday
I love hiking! Our family are big hikers, we’ve been hiking with our kids since they were babies, and living so close to the mountains here in Alberta, we are very lucky to be less than a one hour drive to some of the most beautiful provincial and national parks in Canada. Because I like…
Book Review: Why the Rock Falls by J.E. Barnard
Do you avoid jumping into the middle of a mystery series and insist on reading the 1st book first?

“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.

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 :)
