Review – Where They Found Her
Hello readers, Now that school’s out, I’ve been a book-reading machine! I’ve had the chance to finish up Love in the Time of Cholera, The Darkest Minds, Red Queen, and binge-read two Kimberly McCreight novels in 3 days: Reconstructing Amelia and Where They Found Her. You can look forward to my thoughts on Reconstructing Amelia in…

Stay Tuned…

Hello readers, Last Friday, I met with my lovely book club for the very first time to chat about Paula Hawkins’ The Girl On The Train.

Move over, Nancy Drew and Harriet the Spy
Hello readers, I’ve been on a detective novel kick recently. From Harry Bosch novels by Michael Connelly, to Robert Galbraith’s (a.k.a. J.K. Rowling’s) excellent Cormoran Strike novels, I’m digging the mysteries of late.

Bright lights and the big city….of Lockport
Hello readers, Today we’re taking a break from books (I know, how dare we cheat on books?!) to talk about Lockport. Lockport, you ask? Yes, friends, the cute little hamlet of Lockport, located 25 km north of Winnipeg. I visited a shop in town that is oh-so-cute, so I wanted to share some photos and…

New season, new ideas!
Hello readers, The countdown is on! This Sunday, we “spring forward” for Daylight Savings Time, which means we’re “adding” an hour of daylight – and this tells me that summer is on its way. I can’t wait! Not that I’m not enjoying myself at school, but here at the college we’re heading into crunch time with…
