    These five authors have been on my bookshelves for years. Instead of making unreasonable New Year resolutions, I figured I will try to read at least one book by each author on this list. It is a much more reachable goal. Since I’m a reader, this seems a very appropriate goal to set […]

    Last year, or it could be earlier this year (time flies), I made a list of my favorite Netflix shows. But since the list was getting a little too long, I decided to keep my favorite Nordic Noir series for a different post.  This brings me here. With the days getting shorter and […]

  Last month I started a tally of the books I purchased in the first half of the year. Now it is time to show you the rest of the books that I have either won in giveaways or gifted. I will also include the numerous e-books I bought.  A third article will follow on […]

Part One: Books Purchased New      Every year, I intend to stick to a budget and only make necessary purchases. Well, it clearly doesn’t apply to book buying when it comes to me. We’re only in August, and I have purchased more than 50 physical books (both new and second-hand), and a few e-books.  […]

For today’s post, I thought I would get my inspiration from one of my recent challenges on Instagram. It’s short and sweet, but a post I very much enjoyed preparing.  It’s about random books that I’ve liked in the last little while, but I thought I would expand on that a little here. We all […]

  At the beginning of the year, if you recall, I said that I would join the 22 books for the 2022 challenge. The goal was, and still is, to get through as many books from my own library before purchasing more. As a bonafide bookworm, I will never, ever stop buying books. Just in […]

    With spring finally making its long-awaited appearance, we are slowly coming out of our hibernation period. Days are getting longer, the temperatures are rising, and we want to experience life again. Spring is a great time to get back in touch with nature, and Canada has a lot of beautiful places to visit.  […]

  Reading has always been part of who I am. Ever since I can remember, I’ve enjoyed reading. And yes, every now and then, I will re-read a book I’ve absolutely loved or a series I’ve started and want to get reacquainted with. On rare occasions, I had to restart a few books that I […]

    If you haven’t watched Netflix at least at some point in your life, you really are from another planet. If my 70-year-old mother has heard of it and indulged in a few of her favorite shows, then I don’t understand what you’re waiting for. This is not meant to insult anyone, but if […]
