I wish I wasn’t such a dreamer. I’ve ruined this life for myself.

Free-For-All Friday - Veronica Mars (@RobThomas)

Free-For-All Friday – Veronica Mars (@RobThomas)

The other day, Canada Day to be exact, I was finally able to get together with a friend I haven’t seen in months. As it always does, the topic of Veronica Mars came up. Seriously, we end up talking about this show every single time we get together. There are a few reasons this happens: it’s an exceptional show; we are pop culture junkies; it’s the inspiration for her derby name. This time it…

Top Ten Tuesday - First Times

Top Ten Tuesday – First Times

It’s been a pretty shit year for reading for me. There are many excuses I could list, but mostly, I just haven’t made as much time as I should have. However, I have read several new authors this year. And that is today’s Broke & Bookish Topic! These aren’t necessarily debut authors; they are simply people I’ve never read before. Some have been added to my list of authors to watch. Others probably…

Top Ten Tuesday -Movie Love

It seems that every time I’ve been able to sit down and compose a post recently, they’re about movies or music. I suppose this is good – I’ve been shit at getting any reading done lately. Today is a movie freebie. Depending on your age, a lot of these are probably totally foreign. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, Disney did live action movies that weren’t blockbusters. They were these…

Top Ten Tuesday -Scare Yo Self Today's Top Ten post is a Halloween freebie. I adore Halloween. The vibe. The aesthetic. The ability to try on identities.

Top Ten Tuesday - Now Hear This

Top Ten Tuesday – Now Hear This

Today’s ttt prompt is all about the audio. A totally free post as long as it’s audio related. Audiobooks. Songs. Whatever. Since my previous list of audiobooks still stands, I’m going with music. There is nothing pulling these songs together other than I’ve grooved to them within the last week. Fair warning, I finally watched AHS Hotel this week. It had great music. Intergalactic – Beastie Boys…

Exit, Pursued by a Bear by E.K. Johnston

There’s no wrong way to process trauma. We might not agree with the way someone does it, but we cannot dictate the way they process. I won’t even say choose to process. It’s not always a choice. Sometimes, the way we react to things is very different from what we say we would do in a hypothetical situation. E.K. Johnston’s Exit, Pursued by a Bear tells of the story of Hermione’s trauma and her…

Top Ten Tuesday - The Books of Neglect

Top Ten Tuesday – The Books of Neglect

Today’s top ten list from the ladies at the B&B is one I can get behind. One any reader can get behind, especially any blogger (even the negligent ones like me).Books that have been in your TBR pile for a long damn time. Since before you started blogging. For me, that’s two and a half years. Books you teased by telling them you wanted to read them and then never picking. They’re just sitting…

I do hate that I’m putting you on my to-be-read list with the classics I haven’t gotten to yet, because I’d like to be a part of the conversation that surrounds you while it’s happening. But if I force myself to read you right now, I might end up hating you, and I don’t want that for either of us.

The Killer Next Door by Alex Marwood (@AlexMarwood1)

Here’s the thing I love about Marwood – she writes these stories that contain really gritty ideas but focuses on the human aspect of the story. On what makes the perpetrator fit in. Especially in the sections of society that are already marginalized and viewed with suspicion. A population so on the fringes that people don’t even notice when tenants go missing. They assume they’ve just taken off.…

Those Girls by Chevy Stevens

Hard choices lead to bad decisions lead to terrible circumstances and to no choice to weird life changing decisions. That’s the story behind Those Girls by Chevy Stevens. When three sisters are forced to defend themselves against their abusive, alcoholic father, they end up hitting the road, running towards a future they can’t predict. All they want to do is get away. Forever. The journey will…

My Bad

I have been terrible lately. I have not looked at the blog in like a month. Vacations and summer and all of this life happening stuff and suddenly it’s a third of the way into July. I’ve actually completed quite a number of books, decent ones too, but nothing that’s really screamed ‘write a review about me’. I’m hoping to get at least one done over the weekend. So until then, here are some songs.…

Music Music Music

Summer playlists. I listen to audiobooks in the car most of the year, but in the summer, it’s all about the music for motoring around the city. Fun music that makes me sing along and bounce around and drive in a way that’s inevitably going to result in a speeding ticket. Woman Woman by AWOLNATION My favourite song on the new album. …

Top Ten Tuesday - Sand Between the Pages

Top Ten Tuesday – Sand Between the Pages

This week’s topic is right on time. I’m heading off to a sunny, beachyish vacation in about two weeks. I’ve been trying to decide what to bring with me to read. I have a bunch of physical books I’ve purchased and want to read, but those books have made many of my previous lists. I’ve been terrible at reading this year. I’m relying a lot on my audiobooks. Travelling means diving into my ereader-…

The Hate List by Jennifer Brown (@JenBrownBooks)

Perspective is everything. Everything. As readers, and you know – humans, we have soft spots, blind spots really, based on our perspective. We view people and events through the lens of our experience. The longer you know someone, the more likely you are to see the good in them, even if they’ve done something terrible. We’ve all said things we don’t mean but had people take us seriously because…

Top Ten Tuesday - On a Whim and a Prayer

Top Ten Tuesday – On a Whim and a Prayer

Today’s topic is pretty wide open – books picked up on a whim. So to me that means books that immediately caught my interest and I actually read. Lots of books catch my attention, only some of those make it to the reading pile – with varying levels of satisfaction. My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me by Jennifer Teege A fairly interesting read. Taught me more about history than I expected it…
