Hosted by Long and Short Reviews. I was the sort of English student that teachers loved. Not only was it my favourite subject, I enjoyed almost every writer that was ever assigned to us in those courses. Often I’d even go out and read as many other poems, essays, or books by that same author… Read More

Top Ten Tuesday: Book Characters I’d Love to Be Besties With
Share post:
Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl This week’s prompt required some brainstorming for me because I’m the sort of reader who is drawn to characters and plots that I would not actually want to spend much time with in real life. For example, I love rereading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, but I would never want to… Read More
Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Books I Loved But Never Wrote Reviews For
Share post:
Hosted by Long and Short Reviews. I’ve written countless books reviews over the years, yet there are still plenty of books out there I love but have not written reviews for. There simply isn’t enough time in the day to do everything! Sometimes I also question if it’s ever a good idea to write reviews… Read More
Top Ten Tuesday: Summer Covers I Like
Share post:
Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl Officially, this week’s topic was Cover Redesigns I Loved/Hated. I generally don’t notice – much less have strong opinions about – book cover redesigns, so I tweaked the topic to be Summer Covers I Love instead. Since August is a hot, humid month here in southern Ontario, I thought it… Read More
Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Favorite Food and How I Use (+ Recipe)
Share post:
Hosted by Long and Short Reviews. Fellow participants, I have one word for you: strawberries. They’re in season in June and July here in southern Ontario. My grandmother serves strawberries, milk, and sugar to relatives as a light supper on hot days when no one is that hungry and she doesn’t want to heat up… Read More
Top Ten Tuesday: LGBT+ Books I Want to Read
Share post:
Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl This week is a Freebie week for Top Ten Tuesday, and it took me ages to decide what to write for it. There are so many books out there that I’d like to read but haven’t gotten around to yet. Today, I’m narrowing my focus to those titles that… Read More
Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: My Favorite Quotes from Books
Share post:
Hosted by Long and Short Reviews. Confession: I love quotes. (Those of you who already follow me on Twitter are no doubt 100% unsurprised by this). I had to restrain myself for this week’s prompt. It would have been so easy to write a 1000+ word post and share dozens of quotes, but I’ll try… Read More
Top Ten Tuesday: Settings I’d Like to See More Of (Or At All)
Share post:
Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl Unlike last week, I had no problem filling up the list this week. Honestly, I could have shared twice as many ideas! 1. Prehistoric Africa. I’ve read dozens of prehistoric novels over the years. The vast majority of them were set in Europe or places very close to that… Read More
Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Fictional Worlds I’d Love to Visit
Share post:
Hosted by Long and Short Reviews. I’m guessing that a lot of people are going to pick the Potterverse, Narnia, and the (safe) portions of Middle Earth this week. Count me in for those places, too, but I’m going to spend most of this post talking about worlds that may not get as much attention… Read More
Top Ten Tuesday: Auto-Buy Authors
Share post:
Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl Last week I unfortunately didn’t have time to leave comments on everyone’s Top Ten Tuesday posts. Thank you to all of you who commented on mine! I’ll be back to my regular commenting habits again this week. I’m a frugal, minimalistic, and environmentally conscious person, so this week’s list… Read More
