Some people who know me might be surprised to know that I've always wanted to go to Comic Con. My friend and I talked about going one year, but it's quite the trek to get from Toronto to San Diego, so we've never been able to get there. I wouldn't call myself strictly part of … Continue reading Book Review: Be Dazzled
I am so excited that I found the time to read Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall. When it first came out this summer, I heard nothing but praise for it, and I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. I knew nothing about the story other than what I read in the synopsis, … Continue reading Book Review: Boyfriend Material
Having been in isolation for more than 60 days now (weird timing with having a newborn), I'm wanting to get through some of the hundreds of books in my TBR pile that I own instead of getting ARCs off NetGalley. I'm still not reading as much as I could be because I'm so dang tired, … Continue reading Book Review: Red, White & Royal Blue
I'm a bit of a cliché. I have always wanted to be an astronaut. Ever since I went to the Ontario Science Centre in grade 5 and did a mission to Mars simulation with my class, I've been fascinated by it. Not only is space itself so incomprehensible to my brain, but the possibility that … Continue reading Book Review: The Gravity of Us

Instead of being about women helping during World War II, this one was about women ambulance … Continue reading Book Review: Mercy Road
I have so many books in my To Be Read pile that I didn't even know where to start, so I made a little poll and asked my bookclub which book I should tackle next (thank you, Spivesters!). Although it wasn't a unanimous decision, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid won … Continue reading Book Review: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
I've heard about Jennifer Weiner since Good In Bed in 2001, but at the time I was too young to read her, and I strangely haven't gotten around to reading anything of hers since. I was drawn to Mrs. Everything (in stores June 11) because of the beautiful cover—and because I saw who the author … Continue reading Book Review: Mrs. Everything
When I was poking around NetGalley, I was drawn to Starworld by Audrey Coulthurst and Paula Garner (in stores April 16) mostly because of the beautiful cover art. I know you're not supposed to judge, as the saying goes, but as a person who has always been fascinated by space (I always wanted to be … Continue reading Book Review: Starworld
I've never had a problem with spoilers. Whether I find out the big twist or the ending of something before the fact or as I'm consuming it, I still react emotionally when I get there. This is part of the reason why I'm so intrigued by Adam Silvera's They Both Die at the End. I mean, he gives away the … Continue reading Book Review: They Both Die at the End
