Oh hi looks some more book reviews! If you’re currently Christmas shopping, maybe you’ll find some inspiration for the book lover on your shopping list, even if that person is yourself… I Know You Know by Gilly Macmillan [Amazon US–Amazon Canada] I 100% picked up I Know You Know by Gilly Macmillan because of a YouTuber recommendation, since I’d seen the […]
I had a really great start to October when it came to reading, and even though it slowed down near the end, it was enough to convince me to change my reading goal of the year to 150 books. I don’t know if I’ll make it, but if I do, I’ll have written 150 reviews […]
It’s not often, or basically ever, that I get to read a book set in the province where I live, so I was easily convinced to pick up A Curve in the Road by Julianne MacLean who lives in Nova Scotia and set her novel there. Abbie, a doctor, is in a car accident on her […]
I wasn’t sure if it would turn out that way but I ended up having a second half of September that was just as productive, reading-wise, as the first half (and a whole lot more productive work-wise! Which was nice). The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas [Amazon US–Amazon Canada] [PR copy] The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas is the […]

So I actually created this very detailed reading spreadsheet for September and I swear it makes me want to read 10x more because I love updating it. Yup. So with that in mind, the first half of the month was great for reading and so I’ve compiled what I’ve read so far before this post […]
I love to read books with Canadian settings so picking up The Ghost Road by Charis Cotter, a ghost story set in Newfoundland which has been compared to Coraline (which I adored), was an easy sell. In this lovely middle grade novel, Ruth travels to Newfoundland for the first time, while her dad is on his honeymoon. […]
And we’re back for round two of the 15 books I read in August. Also, here was round one if you missed it.

A Room Away From The Wolves by Nova Ren Suma is the story of Bina, a 17-year-old girl who has a bad relationship with her stepfather and stepsister, and whose mother has sent her away for the summer. Bina decides to take the opportunity to visit Catherine House, a young women’s residence in New York City […]
August was such a nice reading month! I am pretty sure this is the most books I’ve read in a month–15 books!–and there were plenty in here that I loved. Having a little over a week of vacation certainly helped, but I hope to continue to make time for reading as I go from a […]
