Boo to vacation being over. Also, boo to not getting any of my review written before or during my vacation. That was quite a bit of silence for the last few weeks, and now I have several books to review that feel like I read ages ago. Oops. Oh well. It was a great vacation. Books read: Boundary Crossed – A thrilling start to a new series. Forever Grace – A perfectly sweet romance. Thirty Days of Red – Not so good, this felt very rushed and forced. The Memory Game – A sad story that was still really good. […]

Vacation countdown: only 2 more work days left! Then it’s a quick overnight trip to Vancouver, and then off to Ontario for 2 weeks. So excited! I was back for a visit in November, but this is the first time my son’s been back since we moved 2 years ago. I can’t believe the time has gone by so quickly. I still vividly remember our drive across the country. Books read: Rogue – Dark and still humourous, this was a great trilogy ender. The Library at Mount Char – This was like someone asked a high person what should be […]

I mentioned last week that I thought summer had arrived, and I was right. Most days this week were hotter than average, reaching 26-27 Celsius (78-80F) every day. That is really warm for here.

Books read: The Dragons of Heaven – I really wanted to like this, but it had a dual now and then narration that felt more like 2 different people, and I found it hard to follow the now story without the background provided in the then […]

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone! This week has actually been all about my son here. It was his 6th birthday on Thursday, and today is his birthday party. Hopefully the weather stays nice and we can have everyone running around in the backyard with the bouncy castle. Otherwise they’ll be all over the house. Books read: Being Emily – This is such a powerful story about a girl born in a boy’s body. It was a very captivating read. Once a Thief -Light-hearted and fun, this book was exactly was I was wanting at the time – a pure entertainment […]

So tired. That’s my summary of the week. I’m not sure what it is, but I’ve been exhausted all week. I napped after work most days, and went to bed early most nights, and I’m still super tired. Hopefully whatever this is will pass quickly and I’ll get some energy back so I can enjoy the mostly nice weather we’ve been having. Books read: The Well – This book had such an overwhelming melancholy feel, I had to read it in small chunks because the feeling of the book kept soaking into me. The ending was surprisingly satisfying though. Spider’s […]
