I've moved away from picture books this month, back towards romance novels. I run a romance book club at work, called the Happily Ever After book club, so romance titles are going to be part of my monthly reads going forward! This month saw 3 titles. I can't say that it'll always be this many,
Literally everything I read in May was a picture book. So many picture books! I re-read Julián is a Mermaid by Jessica Love. It's one of my favourite picture books, and I adore Julián. The author published Julian at the Wedding in 2020, which is just as fantastic. Both of these are going into my
Well, April was very picture book heavy. It's been a struggle balancing working, reading, content creation and house hunting, all while trying to find a vaccine appointment. If you live outside Ontario, Canada, you may not know -- but it's been an extremely stressful pandemic, due to poor decision-making at the leadership level. All the
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.
It’s been an incredibly stressful year for everyone, including the little ones in your life. They haven’t had as much social interaction as they require. Moreover, it’s really difficult and confusing for them to understand what’s going on. Now is the time to step up and be the aunties and uncles (or grandparents, or whoever)
The holiday season is upon us folx, and I thought some gift ideas for coworkers would be nice right now. Many of us haven't seen our work friends in months, and a little gift would really perk up anyone's holiday spirit. Perhaps you and your work friends are Secret Santa? So I've rounded up some
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
Continuing with our wedding series, today we are gonna do a little show and tell of wedding dresses I’ve tried on to date! Barely a month after announcing our engagement to our friends I began the exhaustive search for my wedding dress. I knew I would be wearing two: a South Asian look and a
