• Reading Log 2025

  I know, I know, I said earlier this year I’d cut back on the reading. I didn’t reach a thousand, but I clearly didn’t stick to my goal. I blame the economy for not giving me a job to fill my time. Currently stands at 839 Any who, reading is better than drugs and I…

• Dear Canada

  Much like it’s US counterpart, Dear Canada features the fictional diaries of pre-teens, and some teens during important moments in Canadian history. Since we have no education about events happening north of our borders, this was an educational primer for me. It was super interesting what events were the same, and what were unique to…

• The Taylors Double Review

  This is going to be a unique as The Taylors are two novels, one middle-grade, one YA by two different authors focusing on the same group of friends as they navigate love and friendship through their namesake, Taylor Swift. So let’s start with Calonita’s. Taylor (aka Teffy to her family) is terrified to start middle…

• Whatever After

  As I may have mentioned, besides being a year of historical fiction, I’ve also decided to dive into some nostalgia. Whatever After came out back in 2012, and I only got through the first seven books before dropping it. So it was interesting to see how the story evolved since I last picked it up.…
