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: Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent
There’s been lots of hype around this latest book by Liz Nugent. I read her first novel a few years ago and found it sufficiently creepy, so I was happy to give Strange Sally Diamond a try when it was sent my way. A few books into their career I find many thriller writers really…
Book Review: Playing Nice by JP Delaney
In case you’re wondering why I’ve been reading so many thrillers about the perils of parenting lately, my latest segment for radio is all about this topic, so don’t worry, I’m not experiencing any mid-life parenting crises! Nothing more than usual anyway. It does beg the question though, why are there so many books that…
Book Review: Who Has Seen the Wind by W.O. Mitchell
Growing up in Ontario means I’m still learning about the Western Canadian books that everyone has read. I moved out west to Calgary 14 years ago now, and even though I’m firmly embedded in our publishing world here, I’m not familiar with what’s considered a ‘classic’ and what all the kids read in high school….
Book Review: Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow
So, been following the news lately? Does #metoo ring a bell? If any of this is sounding familiar, you’ll want to read this book. Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow was released in October, but has been on the top of everyone’s TBRs lately, especially now that the trial of Harvey Weinstein has begun. Despite…
Comparison Book Review, A Tale of Two Wives: The Starter Wife vs. Autopsy of a Boring Wife
I try to avoid reviewing two or more novels in one post because I like to give each author their due, but these two books were begging to be compared against one another, and quite frankly, I’m reading so much these days that keeping up with my book reviews is getting challenging. I read The…
Book Review: Once More With Feeling by Meira Cook
When I comment on other people’s book blogs, I frequently find myself saying similar things; in particular, I frequently admit that I love a good book that deals with nothing at all (like the literary version of Seinfeld). People’s mundane lives, the things that happen to all of us fascinate me, so I really expected…

“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 :)
