2018 Short Story Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 11 and 12
I don’t like to post more than one article a day because I know y’all got lots on, so here are the videos from yesterday and today’s advent calendar unveilings!
I typically post between two and three book reviews a week. Please refer to my review policy if you’d like to submit a book for consideration. I invite you to subscribe to my newsletter to get a summary of my reviews once a month.
Book Review: Miss Marley by Vanessa Lafaye
I’m not sure I’ve ever actually read the classic Dickens story A Christmas Carol from beginning to end. Sure I’ve seen the adaptations, but I’m not as familiar with it as I would like to be. So when Miss Marley, an imagined prequel to A Christmas Carol landed on my doorstep a few weeks ago,…
2018 Short Story Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 10
Today’s story is called “One Gram Short” by Etgar Keret, translated by Nathan Englander. It’s my favourite one yet!
2018 Short Story Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 9
Smokey hogs the camera, I’m wearing my housecoat, and an important and timely story is included in today’s video.
2018 Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 8
I’ve tried a new angle here-let me know what you think! Smokey chooses to clean her butt instead of making an appearance in this video. Also, you witness me daydreaming about being put under for my tooth surgery, because I’m looking forward to not worrying about anything while I’m in la-la land.
2018 Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 7
So kind of a weird story today. In fact, it’s not even really a story, but I felt like I had somewhat insightful comments on it nonetheless.

Ugh I hate this new WordPress format on my screen. Presumably you dear readers won’t notice a difference but I’m struggling to write this in their new set-up! Anywho, below is my short story advent calendar video for December 6. Smokey makes an appearance, and I try to focus on what I’m saying while making…
2018 Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 4 and 5
Whoa, where does the time go? Turns out I didn’t get my tooth pulled today, but my excuse for not posting yesterday is still legit, I was indeed filming a few television segments! More on that later, but in the meantime, enjoy these videos, where the last one includes my kid hacking in the background……

Today’s chocolate is delicious…short story, not so much.
2018 Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 2
We’re onto day #2! And I know i’m posting this super late today, but Momma’s been busy :)
2018 Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 1
Welcome to day 1 of my short story advent calendar unveiling! Like last year, I’ll be opening up one new short story each day from my Hingston and Olsen advent calendar PLUS opening up my Godiva chocolate calendar as well. That means I’ll be posting a new video every single day until December 25! Smokey…
Book Review: The Dinosaur Artist by Paige Williams
The Dinosaur Artist by Paige Williams is an in-depth exploration of dinosaur bones; where they are typically found, how they’re formed, the best way to mount them, etc. Thankfully though, the book focuses more on the people behind the bones (or more accurately, fossils) rather than the dinosaurs themselves. Eric Prokopi is at the center…
