How Historical Fiction Became a Source of Comfort These Last Few Weeks

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you're all doing well and keeping relatively sane! I kind of pulled a disappearing act again, but March was uh...yeah. I had to go through some adjustments. The past couple of weeks has been interesting. I'm forgetting what day it is, I've been crying non stop to The Weeknd's new …

Crawling Out of Cave Hiatus: What I’ve Been Up to, 2020 Blog Goals (Changes are Afoot…)

  Hello friends!!! I am crawling out of my hibernation cave like a big grumpy bear in need of more sleep and less stress to say, I'M BACK. *Poses* *Scattered applause* Launching and organizing a book promotion took up much of my time for the past two months (I'll have to write up my experiences …

July Wrap-Up: Family News, Red & Blue is the New Black

I feel like a lot of my personal posts lately have just been me going, "I'm a sad little bundle of sadness!" And, well....the same applies today (I promise a LOT more flowers and rainbows for the next one). But I'll try to keep it brief this time. To put it shortly, my grandmother passed …

I’m Back! – Health Nightmares, Weird Analogies about Canadian Health Care, and Queer Mermaids

Hey everyone! I'm back (possibly? hopefully?) from my completely unintended hiatus! Sigh. Let me be blunt: these past two and a half weeks have been the absolute worst.

Monday Chatter: A Birthday of a Sort (And Books)

Monday Chatter (Books, Games & Life) – Rain! Glorious Rain! | Viva la Revolución

Hey guys! I'm a tad late on this one so it's gonna be a bit short. The weather's gone from "I'm sorry, WHY is it 23 degrees in the middle of March???" to a nice, comfortable, predictable "10-15 and raining" which I'm pretty happy about because that makes it the perfect weather for rainy-pier watching. …

Quotes of the Month: February 2018

I've only read like four and a half books this month, so things are a little short on the memorable-quotes side. But worry not, because author Matt Haig has kindly provided us with enough quotable material to compensate for more than 10 books in How to Stop Time. First, one so powerful that I swear …
