If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need
Hello to 2018! With 2017 over, I hope that everyone had a great time, and that you got to celebrate being you. Last night my parents and I finished Jessica Jones. I'm quite impressed with how much marvel we've watched. I think I have my dad sufficiently hooked to keep watching the shows without me… Continue reading Review: The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood
With the year coming to a close, I thought that I would go over everything that I read! I didn't do as much as I would maybe have wanted to do, but I did get to my goal of 30 books. I started off wanting to read 50, but school got to be too much.… Continue reading Books I Read in 2017
Happy New Year's Eve! This year has been full of ups and downs, and unfortunately for me it was mostly downs. But! That doesn't mean that there wasn't some ups as well! I became a reviewer for Simon & Schuster Canada, which is a dream come true; I completed my reading goal and even read… Continue reading Review: The Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo
Its BOXING DAY! I don't really know what the purpose of boxing day is, but I figured it would be a good day to show my non-book gifts that are still in certain fandoms! Up first, I got a really cute ornament of the TARDIS! I used to be super into Doctor Who, but I… Continue reading Christmas Haul (part 2)
Merry Christmas Everyone! I'm not really a practicing Christian, but my family still celebrates. This year, to try to cut back on spending and stream line the gift buying process, I gave my parents a list of books that I was interested in. And GOD BLESS THEM, they got me all of them and more!… Continue reading Christmas Haul (part 1)
I was leaving a lecture the other night and I was talking to a friend. They asked me what my plans were for the night and I was like “We’ll I think I’m going to go to Chapters and but a book!”. She was so surprised by that - well not really, but she asked… Continue reading How I Read
Strange Fire is OUT NOW! This past week has been a whirlwind of reading for me! I think I’ve finished two books in one week, which is the first time that that has happened in a while! And it was all thanks to Strange Fire by Tommy Wallach. Man oh man, I really had no… Continue reading Review: Strange Fires by Tommy Wallach
Oct. 2017 Hello again and welcome to this edition of Monika updates you on her life (which is basically books and school). So my third year of university got off at a run this year - I feel like summer never even happened and I’m just continuing on from last year. Of course, the fact… Continue reading Blog Log #2
So I had fully meant to read and review Strange Fires first, but then I got book mail and everything went sideways (you know how it is). I always love getting these books to review because it’s always a surprise which one I’m going to get - this time it was “Could it Happen Here?… Continue reading Review: Could it Happen Here? By Michael Adams
Ok so I meant to post this about a month ago but apparently my computer didn’t save what I had written (which is so sad because I had basically written another novel about how much I love this novel). But that might be a good thing because now I’ll only take maybe 1000000 words? (I… Continue reading Can we talk about Crooked Kingdom for a minute?
Hello again! To all the students out there, welcome back to school! I’ve just started my third week of university and it kind of feels like I never had a summer haha. I wish I had had more time this summer for leisure reading, but I’m still pretty happy with what I accomplished. One of… Continue reading Review: Captive Rebel by Erin McDermott
*Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada for providing me with an ARC for this book!* With summer drawing to a close and exam dates looming, my reading has kind of slowed down a little bit. But not so much that I couldn't read The History of Bees! Let me start off by saying that… Continue reading Review: The History of Bees by Maja Lunde
