I’ve been pretty busy these last few mon–years. Things have gotten out of control and I’m only JUST starting to patch things together to make them workable. One of those things being writing “reviews”, which at this point they are more or less just blurbs on like “Read it if you feel like it” andContinue reading “Ballroom Blitz”

sTori Telling–Tori Spelling
Okay look…I can’t explain why I picked this one up. I had zero interest in Tori Spelling, her career, or anything that’s ever happened to her. I bought this at a thrift store because I like to read incredibly random biographies now. And this took the cake on random because I had never really givenContinue reading “sTori Telling–Tori Spelling”
Roald Dahl
The Giraffe, The Pelly, and Me—Roald Dahl This book was short and sweet and so will this review be: This was about a little boy who was introduced to his new neighbours: a giraffe, a pelican, and a monkey. They had just moved in and were renovating a house to be their business. They wereContinue reading “Roald Dahl”
Matilda–Roald Dahl
The kid and I, well mostly me, decided to start reading all the Roald Dahl books in his sisters room after I had read the Disney stories until I could barf. (And I love Disney stories.) I basically knew the entire thing cover to cover, and it had pictures, and it was heavy to hold,Continue reading “Matilda–Roald Dahl”
“Give me a smile”–Keep Moving Forward
I got really amped up the other night because my brain decided that instead of sleep it would think over something that has really been bothering me. “Bitchy Resting Face”. I have it, I know that, I always look unimpressed or super annoyed when I’m just hanging around and thinking or just working away atContinue reading ““Give me a smile”–Keep Moving Forward”
That Time I Tried
…to give up caffeine. Hahahahahahaha. No. I give up giving up. This week has been weird and short and long and brutal and yes. Yesterday I made the dumb decision to give up drinking Iced Capps for various reasons (sugar addiction, teeth staining, blah blah blah) but I’ve since decided ‘screw that’ since IContinue reading “That Time I Tried”
The Short Stack.
Good morning everyone! I’m clearing house of the tiny reviews. So here’s four to take a gander at. Summer of My Amazing Luck—Miriam Toews Literally only picked this up because I knew it was set in the summer. (Book challenge #14-A Book Set in the Summer [26BooksWithBringingUpBurns 2015.]) What a treat it was though! IContinue reading “The Short Stack.”
KMF: How to Talk To Pregnant Women
Hey guys, did you know there is a new kind of body shaming going on? And it’s directed at super humans? Which seems ridiculous, yes? I am constantly hearing tales of how people are talking to pregnant women and not in a positive fashion. When my cousin was pregnant with Carol I heard my familyContinue reading “KMF: How to Talk To Pregnant Women”
The Flying Troutmans–Miriam Toews
I first read “A Complicated Kindness” by her and immediately fell in love with her writing. It’s so interesting, and her story arcs aren’t complicated even though her characters are. The Flying Troutmans is about a woman who flies home to help her sister, who is bedridden and losing her mind, in order to watchContinue reading “The Flying Troutmans–Miriam Toews”
The Fault in Our Stars–John Green
I’m obsessed with Pinterest. I make random things from it all the time (ie. Rugs from old t-shirts and hula hoops, fabric flowers, dishcloths, cross stitch patterns, etc.) and I usually lay in bed before I start my day scrolling through the Humour section because I like to start my day with a good laugh.Continue reading “The Fault in Our Stars–John Green”
