So it’s been awhile since I posted to booktube-my bad! I’ve made it up to you with a funny/timely/fascinating book about death/cremation/burial, set against a Halloween-ish backdrop in my home. Bundle up for a six minute video about why I love Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? by Caitlin Doughty, and my plans for this year’s Short Story Advent Calendar.
There’s something about a book set in a creepy old house. I’ve read a few of them lately that have really stuck with me, but Bitter Orange by Claire Fuller is different in that the house itself isn’t the scariest thing about the book (although it certainly adds to the overall ‘creepy’ factor), it’s what…
I’ve been chatting about books on CBC Calgary’s afternoon drive home show for about 10 years now, so I’ve gotten a clear glimpse behind the curtain of live radio. That being said, there’s A TON I don’t know about this industry, and the inner workings on the morning show here are still a mystery to…
Addiction is a popular topic these days, with no shortage of narratives, both fiction and non-fiction, detailing the rise of highly addictive drugs. The opioid crisis is one that most of us are familiar with now, and if you live in an urban area like I do, you’re likely used to seeing people suffering on…
I knew I’d like Nobody Cares by Anne T. Donahue before I even opened the front cover. Why? Please refer to my list below: The author Anne T. Donahue has the same first name as me, AND we’re the same age, so obviously we are soul sisters. She grew up in and still lives in…
Pretty sure I’ve mentioned that I’m a nervous flier before on this blog before. I wouldn’t call myself a bad flier, because I do it quite often (one of my life’s greatest ironies unfortunately), but I’m a white knuckler for sure. I care how big the plane is, I refuse to sit in the back…
I’m in the midst of preparing my ‘hot summer fiction’ segment for CBC Calgary, and I knew as soon as I read the first review of Every Summer After by Carley Fortune that I’d have to include this novel in my annual round-up. Canadians are buzzing about this one as it’s a first-time author (but…

The titles kind of freaky. Mostly because I look at my cats and think… yeah they would without a second thought :)
cats for sure! They’ll do anything to survive haha
I like your picture! Glad to hear that you’ve got another Advent calendar in the plan too. (I’m still not a watcher. *waves from the quiet corner*)
And i don’t blame you for that. Even though I have a youtube channel I’m hardly on it watching things, I get sucked in too easily and then there goes an hour
And I always thought Tuppence was gazing at my eyes because she loved me… 😱😾
I’m sure that’s it too (winky face)
“Who has time to watch an Advent video every day??”
Me, ya jerk! 🤣 My husband and I would watch them every night before bed! LOL.
Okay, in all seriousness: I have a morbid ten-year-old niece who’s like a tiny, blond Wednesday Addams. I’m wondering if she would like this book for Christmas???
haha it’s funny, after I made that statement in the video I thought (except Melanie!). And i SO APPRECIATE IT. I’ll be doing these advent videos just for you hahah
Maybe have a quick peruse through the book first, you can be the judge of what’s too real for your niece. Depends on the person I think, and her maturity level.
Boy howdy!
With just a few videos, I might be able to keep up! :)
haha it should be easier on everyone :)
