In March we saw an increase in violence against Asian communities, both in Canada and the US. It feels like every way we turn there is ignorance, racism and hate focused on someone we care about. In my daily life, I work in a library, and while my role isn't focused on children, I love
I have been busy, all swept up in Julia Quinn's Bridgerton series. I've just got the last book left -- Gregory Bridgerton. I've already started. I've found that I vaguely remember each story once I've started reading, but sometimes I remember better than others. If you don't know already, the identity of Mrs. Whistledown is
Well, 2020 ended without much reading and it took me awhile to get back into novels. I've certainly flipped through graphic novels and cookbooks. Yet it took binging the popular Bridgerton series on Netflix and a desire to revisit the romance novels the series is based on to get back into the swing of reading.
Unfortunately, this month's reading consisted only of one and a half books, and I don't believe will finish the other half by the end of the month. I do have several spooky titles I'm interested in reading, but instead I spent the month de-compressing with horror films and shows. So here is my pitiful monthly

It seems I've become completely engrossed in the lives of Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer of Vengerberg and Cirilla of Cintra. All of August was spent further delving into their lives. I expect September to follow suit. There is so much to read, but I hardly have time anymore. Really makes me miss the Quarantine period
Well friends, my HP bookclub of 2 is a little behind on the reading, which has also delayed the reluctant movie marathon of 4, but I have finished the HP series. I was so into reading HP that I also read the Cursed Child screeplay (which is awful). I will do a review of the
We are officially into the latter half of 2020 and it's been wild thus far, likely only to get wilder! Unfortunately, I didn't accomplish as much reading as I would have liked. I'll also be returning to work full time (in a physical work space, as opposed to WFH), and I expect my body will
A lot has changed in the world, since I planned this post. If you're looking for a reading list to help you educate yourself in systemic racism and what it means to be an ally, you will find a link at the bottom of the post. Another month gone by and some more books have
