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,…
There’s alot going on in this video; I’m wearing a bathrobe, I reveal my blog branded mug, and my husband interrupts my recording. But the most important thing of note is that this is the first short story that is holiday themed-yay! And I really enjoyed it. There are major spoiler alerts in this review,…
So thankfully I liked today’s story more than the previous two; it’s a quirky little number that got me thinking, and I’m still pondering it now. I also have a surprise for you chocolate lovers (especially you, FictionFan!), because I just received a hefty Christmas gift that will most certainly lead me into the beginning…
I’d like to claim I’m always spot on when reviewing these short stories, but it’s clear with this next video that I’m a long way off on some of them, today’s story being a perfect example. I suppose that’s the beauty of reading-we all come away with something different, but in this case I’ve come…
Wowza, ok this video is way more up-close and personal than I had hoped for this early in the morning. No make-up, not even brushed teeth in this one, but I really enjoyed today’s short story so you have a glowing review to look forward to. Oh, and Smokey makes an appearance too, as does…
I’m tight on time these days (isn’t everyone at this time of year?) so I’m squeaking in these videos right at the tail end of my toddler’s nap. Or, in today’s case, her two hour lay around in bed, singing and reading books. Whatever, I’ll take whatever alone time I can get, especially because these…
Wow, we are at our halfway point already!!! I’m so impressed with how varied each story is in the advent calendar has been, it feels like I’m getting a taste of every possible kind of writing out there (which is the point of an advent calendar, I suppose). Which leads me to a question; does…
This was a great story; it was by a Canadian (yay!) and it was sad, but not so sad that I regretted reading it. I also got a delicious cookies and cream flavoured chocolate in my Purdy’s advent calendar two days in a row (yay!). And the thumbnail clip of this video isn’t hideous, like…
I’m feeling perkier and perkier as we inch closer to Christmas. Part of that is because my cold is improving (yay!) but another big part of it is the fact that I can now taste food again, specifically chocolate. As you’ll see in this latest video, I received a big beautiful gift of chocolates last…
Highlights? I’ve changed the ‘angle’ of my video today, and both Smokey and Pearl make an appearance. It’s pretty obvious Pearl isn’t happy about her cameo; the expression on her face is a dead giveaway of this. Seems as though Smokey is more showbiz ready these days. Oh yah, I also hated this short story,…
This has been my favourite day of the advent calendars so far! The chocolate was so-so (sadly, it was dark again, like, super dark, 70% cocoa dark) but the short story was amazing, and it was only five pages! You can tell how excited I am about it in this video, I don’t think I…
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…
