Short Story Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 23

Oh my, just two more days to go! I’m enjoying the stories but these videos are ALOT of work! Maybe next year I’ll just do social media updates as I work through the calendar or something…
I loved loved loved today’s story, I want to shout it from the rooftops! It was perfect for this snowy December 21 here in Calgary, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Another added bonus: the author is someone I’ve been curious to read for awhile, Rebecca Rosenblum. And she has cats so…everything is making…
Well my Wordfest 2017 experience was WAY better than my Wordfest 2016 experience which was basically non-existent due to the fact that I contracted hand foot and mouth during last year’s festival (the joys of having young children in daycare never end!). But I was relatively healthy this year, which allowed me to take in…
This video is one of my longest yet, but I feel like I say next to nothing in it. Probably because I had no idea how to describe the science fiction story I just read in the advent calendar; it is literally out of this world! I know you’re groaning at the pun, but seriously,…
Even though I have contacted the plague, I am still enjoying reading my short story advent calendar and sampling my chocolate advent calendar ( side note: I can’t taste the chocolate right now, but the texture still delights me). Smokey takes front seat in this video today because she was missing the limelight. I also…
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted to booktube, so I got my butt in gear and filmed another review full of ‘ums’ for you all to cringe through*. The Child Finder by Rene Denfeld is everywhere right now, I believe it’s currently at the top of the Canadian bestseller list, and I recall seeing a…
So I shot this video on vacation in a rental home, therefore the lighting is terrible and the sound is echo-ey. My bad. Oh, and Smokey isn’t with me, because my husband draws the line at taking our cats on vacation with us (sigh). I’m reviewing Terry Fallis’s latest book One Brother Shy, which I…

Very accomplished story telling. I felt like the legends of the dogs came full circle at the end when the boy and his dogs were heading for the sea—the poor woman who had to sell her dog, but it came back to her across the ocean, and the boy and his dogs perhaps doing the same to return to his mother…either that, or he knew he had to kill them, as his father suggested following the story of the woman and her dog. This one pushed a lot of buttons. I really liked the structure, as well.
Sorry to hear about your squares. Hope the party went well. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos; it makes reading the stories more enjoyable.
Thanks for following along and commenting Cathy, it’s greatly appreciated! Merry Christmas.
Oh, my gosh! Your squirrel story reminds me of when I baked fairy cakes and had to throw them out and then a raccoon ate them out of the dumpster 😂
To this day, your fairy cakes blog post is one of my favourite that you’ve ever written.
Hahahaha, thank you, Anne! 😂
Still, the fact that the squirrel ate them at least proves they must have been good! I’m excited to find out what’s behind “tomorrow’s” big square!
You will have already been disappointed then :(
