I love seeing this theme repeated! It’s such a fun one.

6. Always Matt: A Tribute to Matthew Shepard by Jason Collins

My One-Word Review: Heartbreaking.

 

Book cover for Grief Eater by Emma Osborne. Image on cover is a drawing of a zombie with green skin and long, wavy black hair who is holding her head up and back and looks like she’s yelling in pain. There is a little blood around her mouth.

My One-Word Review: Perfect.

 

Book cover for The Case of Elmwood Ranch by Deanna Grey. Image on cover shows two young black women st adding outside in front of a meadow and under some trees whose leaves have turned orange. They are both wearing sweaters and slacks for the chilly day.

9. Fallow by Sarah Anderson (My Review)

My One-Word Review: Odd.

 

Book cover for A Curious Presence - an Exploration of Ghosts and People Who Haunt Them by Margo MacDonald. Image on cover is a drawing of a ghost wearing a blue silk robe. Their face and hands are white, cloudy, and obscured which makes them look like a proper ghost.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. A Curious Presence – an Exploration of Ghosts and People Who Haunt Them by Margo MacDonald (My Review)

My One-Word Review: Thorough.

Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Reread Books or Rewatch Movies? Why?

A laptop sitting on a wooden table. The text reads: “Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge. Hosted by Long and Short Reviews.”

The phrase “the end” written in a cursive font against an old-fashioned film reel.

Yes, of course I reread books and rewatch movies.

This tends to be something that happens when I’m either not feeling well and don’t have the emotional or intellectual energy to try to guess the plot twists or when I’m feeling nostalgic for the past.

There’s something incredibly relaxing about revisiting characters you’ve read about or watched before. If I already know what’s going to happen, it doesn’t matter if my attention span wanders or if I fall asleep halfway through.

Some of my favourite things to reread include:

  1. The Anne of Green Gables series
  2. The Chronicles of Narnia
  3. Toni Morrison novels, especially Beloved and The Bluest Eye
  4. Old romance novels like Jane Eyre or The Blue Castle
  5. Poets like Maya Angelou, Shel Silverstein, Emily Dickinson, or William Carlos Williams

As for films, I like rewatching:

    • Teen dance movies like Dirty Dancing or Save the Last Dance
    • Comedic fantasy like The Princess Bride
    • Epic fantasy like Lord of the Rings
    • Nature or science documentaries, assuming it’s been at least a few years since I’ve last seen them.

Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Prologues/Epilogues – Love or Hate Them? Why?

A laptop sitting on a wooden table. The text reads: “Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge. Hosted by Long and Short Reviews.”

Closeup photo of an antique book printed in Old German. I don’t know what the words say, but the font is beautiful. I love them!

My caveat, of course, is that I have mostly found them in high fantasy novels which is a genre I rarely if ever read these days. This means that I can’t really recommend recent stories that do this well as I am not familiar with the cream of the crop anymore.

Of the times I have read prologues or epilogues, I remember them feeling quite appropriate for the tone of their texts whether they was playful, serious, or read like a history textbook. (See also: J.R.R. Tolkien at times).

It would be interesting to see them used more often in other genres in lieu of writing sequels. Sometimes I finish a book and wish I could have just one more chapter about what the characters did after that final scene.

An entirely new novel about them would be too much, but a few to a dozen pages would be the perfect goodbye.

This could also be a way to soften that trend of dropping the reader straight into an action scene without telling us anything about the characters and plot in advance. Now don’t get me wrong. Sometimes that’s a great way to start things off, but it can also be a little to quite confusing if the conflict is a complex one or if you have five different characters whose names all start with the letter C or something.

A prologue could help ease reader’s confusion in cases such as that one.

Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Book/TV/Movie Characters I’d Invite to a Dinner Party

A laptop sitting on a wooden table. The text reads: “Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge. Hosted by Long and Short Reviews.”

Hosted by Long and Short Reviews.

Click here to read everyone else’s replies to this week’s question and here to see the full list of topics for the year.

This week’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge theme complements yesterday’s Top Ten Tuesday theme beautifully. I love it when the two blog hops I participate in overlap like that.

Those of you who stopped by yesterday will remember how I do not seek out meet-and-greets with authors because I’m not into celebrity culture.

Meeting characters, though? Yes!

Here are some characters from books and shows I’ve recently enjoyed that I’d like to meet:

 

A black and white drawing of a hand making a Vulcan salute. The thumb is pointed out to the side alone, the index and middle finger are touching each other and leaning to the right, and the ring and pinkie finger are touching each other and pointing gently to the left. This leaves a v-shaped space between the middle and ring fingers. Erica Ortegas from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. I love her sense of humour and how quickly she thinks on her feet in a crisis. She’s had some interesting storylines regarding her mental health, too, after she was seriously wounded on a mission. If only the writers would give her some happiness in the future, too, whether it’s in the form of her getting a longterm girlfriend, spending time with family, or something else that’s equally wholesome.

 

Joseph M’Benga, also from Strange New Worlds. He has a tragic backstory that I keep hoping the show will go back to with some sort of resolution arc. I also enjoy seeing how methodically he works in the sick bay, especially when an episode includes multiple people getting sick or injured in the same time period. He’s a kind and dedicated doctor. It would be nice to see him and Erica in the same room more often, too, as they’re generally working in opposite areas of their ship.

I know I’ve done similar topics in the past. This time I’m specifically focusing on books set in Southern Ontario instead of in Toronto.

Book cover for Ghost Road And Other Forgotten Stories of Windsor by Marty Gervais. Image on cover is a black and white photo of a back country road that only has one vehicle driving on it. The grass and dry and looks dormant for the winter.

Book cover for Birding at Point Pelee by Henrietta T. O'Neill. Image on cover shows an aerial shot of Point Pelee. It’s covered in forests and has a beach on the left hand side of the point, too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Birding at Point Pelee by Henrietta T. O’Neill

 

Book cover for Fifth Business by Robertson Davies. Image on cover shows the silhouette of a man’s head against a round yellow object, possibly the sun. Near him are various objects like a black fist, the tendril of a growing plant, and three solid blue lines in a row.

Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Books I Wish I’d Discovered Sooner

A laptop sitting on a wooden table. The text reads: “Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge. Hosted by Long and Short Reviews.”

Hosted by Long and Short Reviews.

Click here to read everyone else’s replies to this week’s question and here to see the full list of topics for the year.

I tend to believe that the right books will appear when we need them, but there are a few books I wish had shown up earlier in my life.

Someone – probably my aunt or grandmother – gave me the first few Anne Shirley books as a kid, but I didn’t read the rest of them until I was an adult. Either my local library didn’t have them or someone else had borrowed them every time I looked as I do remember searching for them.

Book cover for Anne's House of Dreams by L.M. Montgomery. Image on cover shows Anne in a long blue dress that does not have a bustle. She’s looking off to the side with a serious and slightly sad expression on her face as she stands in front of her new home and a small grove of trees around it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anne’s House of Dreams by L.M. Montgomery

I read the first three books in this series as a preteen and watched the film version of Anne of Windy Poplars as well. Everything from Anne’s House of Dreams onwards were titles I read in adulthood. I enjoyed seeing Anne as a wife and mother, although her life turned out quite differently than I had dreamed it might.

 

Book cover for The Shelters of Stone (Earth's Children, #5) by Jean M. Auel. Image on cover shows a drawing of a running horse on a cave wall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Shelters of Stone (Earth’s Children, #5) by Jean M. Auel

It appears that I need to grumble about this series once again. 😂 I read the first four books many years after they were first released, and then I had to wait years to read books 5 and another long stretch of time before book 6. If only each new instalment could have been released every 3-4 years at the most so I could have finished this series sooner and not spent so much time assuming it would end satisfactorily. I will refrain from listing the many plot holes and abandoned conflicts that irritated me along the way. Ha.

I look forward to seeing what everyone else came up with!

Top Ten Tuesday: Buzzwords or Phrases That Make Me Want to Read a Book

The text reads, “Top Ten Tuesday. www.thatartsyreadergirl.com.”
Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

1. Prehistoric, Neanderthal, Hunter-Gatherer, and/or Anatomically-Modern Human

I’m always interested in books set at this point in the past.

2. Magical Realism

There’s nothing like a story that is 99% realistic but has a slightly magical twist to it.

Grey stones in a stone garden. The stone closest to the viewer has the word “hope etched onto it. The stone right behind it has the world “charity” etched onto it. 3. HEA (happily ever after)

It’s not that common in the scary stuff I sometimes read, so I have to branch out to other genres to see characters who ride off into the sunset peacefully.

4. Friends to Lovers 

This is how my spouse and I ended up together. When I do dip into more romantic reads on occasion, starting off with a strong friendship between the characters is definitely the first thing I’m looking for.

5. Twist Ending

If the right amount of foreshadowing is included ahead of time, I love it when there’s a twist ending that catches me off-guard but, in retrospect, makes perfect sense. It’s quite difficult to accomplish, so I never fault authors who can’t quite strike the balance between hinting at what’s to come and still keeping their audience guessing. It’s simply a fun bonus when it does occur.

6. Solarpunk, Hopepunk, and/or Utopian Themes

Show me visions of the future that are remarkably better than the world we currently live in!

7. Animal Companions 

Assuming the pets don’t die or get seriously injured in the story, I love reading about characters who have close relationships with their furry (or scaly, aquatic, or what have you) friends.

8. Urban settings 

I love living in an urban setting as well as reading all sorts of stories with this sort of setting.

9. Medical triumphs 

That is to say, there’s nothing like reading a book about a condition or illness that we now either prevent with better nutrition, clean water, vaccines, municipal sanitation, etc. or have such effective treatments for that the average person may not realize how dangerous or painful it was for previous generations. It’s exhilarating to read about all of the progress we’ve made.

10. Mutual Aid

That is, stories about people working together to solve seemingly insurmountable problems. It’s easy for this topic to come across as an cheesy after school special, but when care is taken in fleshing out the characters and exploring the conflict(s) they face in depth, the hopefully happy ending that eventually comes can be immensely satisfying.

Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time

Hosted by Long and Short Reviews.

Click here to read everyone else’s replies to this week’s question and here to see the full list of topics for the year.

There are so many books I wish I could read again for the first time! I decided to narrow down the list to titles that were published sometime this century.

Book cover for The Deep by Rivers Solomon. Image on cover is a drawing of a black mermaid with long hair swimming up to the top of the ocean as a whale dives deeply into the water behind her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. The Deep by Rivers Solomon

There were a few amazing plot twists in this tale that were well done, including one that I originally thought of as a flaw in the plot. It would be a joy to discover them again.

 

Book cover for The Girl With All the Gifts by M.R. Carey. Image on cover is a drawing of a young girl, about 10 years old, who is wearing a dress and standing with her arms outstretched. Only the silhouette of her body can be seen due to how bright the setting is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. The Girl With All the Gifts by M.R. Carey

Once again, there was a creative plot twist that kept me hooked. While I did figure it out in advance due to how often I’ve read stories in this sub-genre, it was still executed nicely and set up everything nicely for how this duology would pan out. It wasn’t until the final scene in the second instalment that a few last things gelled together which was incredibly satisfying for me as a reader.

 

Book cover for A Psalm for the Wild-Built (Monk & Robot, #1) by Becky Chamber. Image on cover shows a top-down drawing of a winding road through a rural landscape. You can see a metal robot at the top left hand corner and the eco-friendly camper the protagonist rode around in down in the lower left corner. It include a bicycle at the front for pedaling and a small compartment at back for sleeping, eating, and other necessary tasks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. A Psalm for the Wild-Built (Monk & Robot, #1) by Becky Chamber

Yes, I know I’ve gushed about this duology before, but it really is the perfect world to step into if you’re dreaming of a peaceful solarpunk future.

 

Book cover for A Short History of the World According to Sheep by Sally Coulthard. Image on cover is a photo of a shepherd herding his sheep while they stand on a mountain. There are much larger, snowier mountains in the background.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. A Short History of the World According to Sheep by Sally Coulthard 

This is the sort of history I love to read! Sheep changed the destinies of the humans who cared for them in so many different ways.

 

Book cover for Remote Control by Nnedi Okorafor. Image on cover is a drawing that can be interpreted in two ways.First, it looks like a young black woman with short hair who is wearing hoop earrings and staring pensively off into the distance. Second, it looks like a grove of trees growing closely together. The hoop earring could also be interpreted to be a swing of some sort or a vine hanging down from the trees.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Remote Control by Nnedi Okorafor

This novella had a mysterious and exciting ending that other readers should discover for themselves. I reread it a few times just to see how many different interpretations I could come up with about what happened next.

 

Book cover for Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Image on cover is a drawing of an astronaut falling through space with a large yellow planet in the background. The astronaut is stilll tethered to something just out of sight by a white cord attached to their space suit, but their limbs are flailing as they are unable to grasp onto anything in the vacuum of space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

The film version of this story is finally coming out this spring! I can’t wait. Once again, the plot twists were exciting and the ending left so much scope for the imagination as Anne Shirley would say if she lived in our era.

What I Read in 2025

A pair of glasses, possibly reading glasses, lying on a page of an opened book that has a map drawn on it. Happy (almost) New Year, readers!

In January of 2013, I began blogging about everything I’d read that previous year.  This tradition began when my dad asked me how many books I’ve read in my entire lifetime.

I couldn’t begin to give him an answer to that question, but it did make me decide to start keeping track from that moment forward. The previous posts in this series are as follows: 2024, 2023, 2022,  2021, 2020, 2019, 2018,  2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013.

In 2025 I had a lot of DNFs of full-length novels due to some very difficult times my family and I have gone through these past couple of years, so I did not read as much nonfiction as I normally would. Short stories and similar types of writing were much more my speed in 2024 and 2025, especially if they were closer to the cheerful end of the scale.

Thirty full-length books read is honestly impressive given everything I was dealing with behind the scenes, and I have hope that 2026 will be easier for all of us. Some of them were comforting rereads, too, to be honest.

Books I never finished are only occasionally included in my lists of what I read. For example,  if there was something memorable about that tale and I want to remember that, yes, I have already tried to read it, I’ll add it in. The other 99% of the time, I do not.
