August and September 2026 Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR Lists, and What I’m Loving
As I mentioned in my last post, I’m in a very slow reading season. Life has been super chaotic lately, and I’m lucky to get in ten pages a day most of the time. That said, while my reading slowed way down, that didn’t mean the quality of my reads also went off a cliff.…

How To Make Time For Reading When You Have No Time For Reading
I wish I could open this post by saying I’d found the magic one-step solution to never having enough time. I wish I could say I’d finally figured it out and that I’m here today to share my perfect solution for reading endlessly when you seemingly have no available hours, but the reality is that…

Book Review: A Fragile Enchantment by Allison Saft
This year, I set a goal for myself to get in five workouts a week. If I were only doing strength training, this would be no problem, but I wanted to incorporate cardio as well and I’ll be frank, the idea of cardio five times a week is not an appealing concept to me. To…

Book Review: The Correspondent by Virginia Evans
Before I picked it up, I had been seeing The Correspondent everywhere, including on a lot of “best of” lists.

Book Review: Tales of the Celestial Kingdom by Sue Lynn Tan
The Celestial Kingdom duology is a favourite of mine, so ever since this novella released, I’d been keen to find a reason to pick it up. I had a long drive planned several months ago and knew that it was the perfect opportunity to listen to the audiobook the full way through, and I’m glad…

June 2026 Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR lists, What I’m Loving
We are now officially in deep summer in Atlantic Canada and I could not be happier about it. Days spent outside in the sun, letting baby girl run around through the grass until her heart’s content, and barbecuing every single meal is my idea of a good time. What was extra thrilling about this month,…

Book Review: The Knight and The Moth by Rachel Gillig
I’m typically not very good at reading books on their release date. At any given time I have such a huge backlog in my TBR that even if something comes out that I’m looking forward to, it tends to sit on my shelf for a long time. I made an exception for The Knight and…

Book Review: Among The Burning Flowers by Samantha Shannon
At this point, I think you’d be hard pressed to find a bigger fan of Samantha Shannon’s writing than me. I’ve read every one of her books and each one of them further convinces me of her immense talent.
