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.

Book Review: Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang
There is little that is quite so thrilling as reading a book that you’re confident is going to be an all-time favourite, and that is exactly how I felt as I read Blood Over Bright Haven. This book was a marvel of horrifying magic and unlikeable characters that gets deep under your skin until you…

April and May 2026 Reading Wrap Ups: Books Read, TBR Lists, What I’m Loving
The fact that I have not managed a single blog post since my March reading wrap-up speaks to the chaotic nature of what life has been like the past couple of months. Baby girl is now squarely in her toddler era and busier than ever, work for both my husband and I has been nearly…

March 2026 Monthly Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR List, and What I’m Loving Right Now
Another month has come and gone and still we find ourselves in deep winter. Despite a few Spring false starts, I started writing this update from the depths of a freezing rainstorm. I could not be more over the cold if I tried.

Book Review: A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
One of my goals for 2026 was to read more diversely and pick some books from my TBR that expanded the genres I was exposed to. I’ve had Fredrik Backman on my must-read list for a long time, but this is the first time I’ve actually prioritized picking one of his books up. I’m now…

Book Review: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
I’ve been hearing good things about Andy Weir and his writing for years. While I hadn’t read anything by him yet, I have watched The Martian at least five times and as a result, was fairly confident I was going to enjoy his writing. I’m happy to report that my predictions were correct.
