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.
