How is it November already? That being said, Iām going to keep this short and sweet since weāre all super busy writing for #NaNoWriMo, right? Well, weāre trying. We love non-fiction and have written blogs about our favourite memoirs and such. But I wanted to give you a list of …
You know those books that are heavy on atmosphere? The ones with spooky houses and wild landscapes? The ones that feel like the setting itself is a character? Those are some of my favourites. In books where the setting is a character, the city or landscape or house has a …
Finally! Itās Autumn! There will be afghans, sweaters, knitting, hot beverages, and reading. With the breeze getting crisper everyday, I feel life in my lungs again. I ended up reading 3.5 of the 5 books on my summer TBR list and, considering the heat waves killing my brain, I take …

When we recorded our Summer Solstice hangout episode and wrote our Summer Update blog post, I realized Iād read a lot of the books I had on my Top 10 New Book Releases of 2021. Having a Kobo eReader has helped. Iāve been able to borrow ebooks from the library, …
We didnāt realize when we set a reading challenge for 2021 that the challenge would be actually, you know, reading. Who would have anticipated The Great Reading Slump of 2021? Reading feels impossible these days (The Slump is powerful), but we havenāt stopped adding more books to our TBR piles. …
