Book Review: These Ghosts are Family by Maisy Card
When a book opens with a family tree, you can expect a few things; there will be many characters, there will be drama, and you will have to refer back to said family tree throughout the book to ground yourself in what’s going on. If any of those things intimidate or bore you as a…
Book Review: Here I Am! by Pauline Holdstock
Some may cringe at the thought of reading a book written in the voice of a six-year-old, but once you get past the simplistic dialogue and extraneous words, the story behind the boy is a spectacular one. For those who read Room by Emma Donoghue and enjoyed it, you’ll understand the pleasure in ‘looking behind…
Ivereadthis Jr. Edition: The King of the Birds by Acree Graham Macam
With a mother like me, my daughter is basically forced into reading books. All the time. Lucky for me, she seems to be an eager reader, and she’s even more delighted to be a test case when it comes to kids books that are sent to me for review. “I would have loved to have…
Book Review: Generation Dread by Britt Wray
Although the title of this book may seem as though it’s the latest thriller to hit the shelves, it’s actually a lot scarier than that. Generation Dread by Britt Wray is a work of non-fiction, exploring the increasing climate anxiety that many people are experiencing, especially younger generations. Despite some of its dire predictions and…
Book Review: Once a Bitcoin Miner by Ethan Lou
The subtitle of Ethan Lou’s book Once a Bitcoin Miner is: Scandal and Turmoil in the Cryptocurrency Wild West, which is both a figurative and literal reference to what is discussed in this entertaining work of journalism. I’ll admit to being immediately put off by the topic – I could care less about Bitcoin, but…

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!
