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)

How I Read
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
Review: Strange Fires by Tommy Wallach
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
Review: Could it Happen Here? By Michael Adams
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?

Can we talk about Crooked Kingdom for a minute?
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?
Review: Captive Rebel by Erin McDermott
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.

Review: The History of Bees by Maja Lunde
*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
Review: A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway
I find that whenever I revisit authors that I read in high school, I get a very different feel and view of the book. For Hemingway, that didn’t really change. I read An Old Man and The Sea in grade 11 or 12, and I remember thinking ‘wow, this guy doesn’t really care about punctuation’.… Continue reading Review: A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway

I received this book as an ARC from Simon & Schuster Canada!

I am so so happy that… Continue reading Review: The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell

My bookstagram friends and I started a Percy Jackson read-along and where else would we start other than the beginning! The Lightning Thief was such a big book for me (not gonna lie, probably started my… Continue reading Review: The Lightning Thief (PJO #1) by Rick Riordan
