April
Reading It’s been a stellar reading month. I don’t know how I’ve done it. Actually, I do know. It’s because I’ve shirked responsibility and curled up with a book at every moment possible. It was easy to fly through a book when it was so addictive. Desire or Defense by Leah Brunner was one of…

3 Pre-Orders I’m VERY Excited For
It’s been a very good book year for me so far. Out of the 10 books I’ve read so far, four have already made it to my top of the year list. As a writer, it’s inspiring reading these types of books, and as a reader, it’s a whole lot of fun. I’ve also been…

March
I know it’s a cliche, but can you believe that March has come and gone already? It’s been a whirlwind, but in the best kind of way. Reading I finished off three physical books this month. I found them all very entertaining but Better Than The Movies by Lynn Painter stood out. I loved Wes…

February
Usually, February is the time of year when I feel sluggish and a bit restless with life. This year has been nothing like that. My February has been full of change and possibility and I’m curious to see what the future holds. It’s a reminder that no year is going to be the same and…

January
January. It’s supposed to be the fresh start that kicks off the tone of your year. My January has been more like a kick in the face. Life can really surprise you in the worst way. To escape some sad news that my family has received, I’ve dived into work, writing and exercise. A healthy…

2022 – Year in Review
Did 2022 kinda suck for me? Yeah, I would say it did. Besides bringing the twinnies into the world, not much else went to plan. I had a hospital stay after my twins were born, my oldest daughter had a seizure and an unfortunate diagnosis and we had an issue with our neighbour that affected…

My Top 10 Favourite Books of 2022
If it wasn’t for Goodreads, Instagram and my blog, I wouldn’t be able to keep track of all the books I’ve read in 2022 – and I’m not even a big reader compared to the Bookstagrammers I follow. This year, with the exception of the books that I plan to get through this month and…

A Fake Proposal, Two Dogs and Light Up Golf; A 2022 Writing Wrap Up
In 2022, I had big hopes of finishing off at least one of my manuscripts. In a perfect world, I would have liked to finish the three drafts that are waiting for some editing love. In reality, I was barely able to finish one. In fact, as I’m writing this, I’m taking a break from…

November Wrap Up: Reading, Listening, Watching and Life
Reading It’s official. November is the first month where I have finished zero books. None. A goose egg of reading. And it’s not because I was busy writing 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo or even editing my debut novel. It was just days of settling back into work, looking after my kids and cleaning up the…
