It was this picture from Justin Trudeau's first cabinet that caught my eye. Much like spotting an extremely attractive person, I scrolled past it at first and then did I double take. Look at this magnificence! There are fifty percent women, minorities and a person with a visible disability all right there representing a whole... Continue Reading →
It is time for WWW Wednesday, my favorite meme! The gracious Sam from Taking On a World of Words continues to host even when she is on vacation! So, without further adieu, I give you... What Did I Just Finished Reading? I had a doozie of a week! Thanks to the Dewey's 24 Hour (Reverse)... Continue Reading →
Two nights ago I heard a noise around one thirty in the morning. It was probably my cat, Merlin, but that was all it took to upset my sleep. Insomnia had me in its grip and I was up for hours. Thankfully, as always, there was a book to keep me company. I selected the... Continue Reading →
I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I finished Madeline Miller's first book, The Song of Achilles. That book tore something in my heart and for days afterwards I carried it around the house as one would a beloved stuffed animal. When I learned that she had a new book I... Continue Reading →
Reading Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills made me immensely happy. So many YA books, especially those set in high school, are stuck in the doldrums. Foolish Hearts lends vulnerability and nuances to the characters that could have been manipulated in a negative and depressing manner. Instead, each characters concerns and tribulations became platforms for growth.... Continue Reading →
I hate math. So, a book with math on the cover is to be avoided. But, then the delightful Penny Reid's fan club argued that The Kiss Quotient by Helen Huang was perfect for any of Reid's romance ninja's. I have been anxiously waiting for Reid's new book (it's out today!) so I figured, challenge accepted. I purchased a... Continue Reading →
The first book I read by Becky Albertalli was The Upside of Unrequited Love. It was included in an OwlCrate and I didn't want to read it. I was coming out of a YA funk so I put it on my bookshelf and left it there for about six months. One night insomnia struck and I... Continue Reading →
The wonderful people at Dewey's 24 Hour Reathon hosted a Reverse Readathon this weekend. I only heard about it on Wednesday but I wanted to participate because, well, reading. I didn't do anything correctly. I missed the prompts that were posted on the site, I didn't know you were supposed to time yourself and I... Continue Reading →
We all know it and love it - its WWW Wednesday! This meme is hosted, as always, by the lovely Sam at Taking on a World of Words. I am so happy to hear she is on vacation and I hope she's having as wonderful a time as I did on mine. I just returned... Continue Reading →
Many years ago I started developing a major crush on Canada. I grew up in the mid-west and Canada seemed just a exotic and far away as Mexico. Also, as a cold-weather lover, Canada seemed more suited for me. Basically, Canada is my tall dark and handsome Jacob and everything south is the Edward everyone... Continue Reading →
