Video Book Review: Short Story & Chocolate Advent Calendar Re-Cap
As in past years, I’m continuing with the short story advent calendar this holiday season. I’ve also decided to go local with my chocolate advent calendar, so I’m highlighting the wonderful treats that Calgary-based The Chocolate Lab has to offer in their advent calendar. It’s worth the price tag of 60 bucks! As you will see in some of my photos, the chocolates are beautiful and taste just as good as they look. And of course the short story advent calendar is also by local publisher Hingston and Olsen, but it features authors from all around the world. I’m very happy with both advent calendars this first week, but we’ll have to see where the rest of December takes us. For a day-by-day summary of my advent calendars, head to my twitter or instagram accounts. I’ll do my best to post one video per week on youtube and here on the blog as well.
The design of the short story advent calendar this year is definitely my favourite! The colours are gorgeous
It looks exceptionally beautiful this year. Part of me wishes that the stories were all by Canadian authors, but I understand why that’s not necessarily a great marketing decision.
That would drive me bonkers. Put out a call for winter-themed stories! It’s not that hard; publishers and magazines do it all the time.
I’m really disappointed by the lack of Canadian authors so far, but I guess if they aren’t pitching, you can’t force it…
