Book Review: One by One by Ruth Ware
Yup, I’m reading another Ruth Ware book. I just can’t get enough of this writer, and she basically releases a book a year so there’s always something new for me to dive into. One by One takes place in the winter wonderland of the French Alps, so although I’m not getting much skiing in this…
Book Review: The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton
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…
Book Review: Playing for Keeps Series by Becka Mack
If you’ve happened to walk through a drugstore or airport in the past few weeks (in Canada), you’ve likely seen the covers of the Becka Mack Playing for Keeps series of books staring back at you from the shelves. Instant bestsellers, Consider Me, Play With Me, and Unravel Me were all published in December 2023…
Wordfest 2018 Recap!
Wordfest ended just a few days ago, and I’m still buzzing from all the bookish excitement! For those who don’t visit my blog regularly, Wordfest is my local literary organization that I once worked for, and now that I’m a full-time Mom, I run a book club with them called We’ve Read This. On top…
Book Review: The Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz
I first heard of The Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz through my dear friend FictionFan’s blog, she reviewed this book a few months ago and had some complicated feelings about it. When the publisher sent it to me for review, I decided to give it a go, even though FF recommended another one of…

O. Henry is a very famous short story writer whose work is so revered that there is a coveted prize named after him. I hope you read more of his work! He was in prison for five years and wrote using his pen name so people wouldn’t know he was connected to his crimes (embezzlement). He’s best known for the twist ending and made it famous!
oh man! Thank you for this wealth of information. Did you like how I compared him to a chocolate bar? haha
My husband and I laughed our booties off 😂 I got him into the nightly advent calendar at the end 😊
glad to hear!
I’m willing to bet that Herschey kiss is long gone by now…
Well done! I enjoyed watching your daily vids, even if I didn’t always get there on the right day! I’m going to blame the time difference… ;) Belated Merry Christmas to Smokey and Pearl… oh, and to you and your family, of course! :D
Thank you! I actually still have that hershey kiss, but just because I’ve been working away on other chocolates in the meantime :) Thanks for watching!
Hershey’s Kisses are uniquely associated with Christmas for me, since I always got them in my stocking as a child, and so I’ve eaten quite a lot of them this month, ha ha! That big one is intimidating! Do you cut that with a knife? :)
oh no, I just smashed it like the animal I am haha
I’m very impressed that you made it to the end! I admit that I didn’t get to watch them all, but figured I should at least watch the last one to see if you were still happy and smiling, or if you were haggard and grouchy by the end. Good to see you smiling! I really should buy the advent calander myself, but I just get so little reading time around the holidays. But I suppose I don’t *have* to read them on the right days…
I think I have a couple of O, Henry stories around here – I should read them sometime! :)
Happy 2018!!
Thanks, Happy New Year!
