Instagram post 2226416405962771809_12415367 This is the book I bought at @russellbooksvictoria in honour of my Grandpa. It's about a girl who goes into a wilderness called Wildwood to save her brother. I've wanted to read it for years, and will definitely be placing it near the top of my TBR. Middle grade books like this one are so special. They often focus on friendships and sibling relationships. And they are often stories about kids coming into their own, realizing how strong or smart or capable they are. I think those are the types of stories we all need to hear sometimes. If Prue can save her brother from the creatures of Wildwood, I can get through whatever it is I need to get through today. . . . #middlegradebooks #middlegradefiction #adventurestories #bookhaul #newbook #book #bookish #read #reader #wildwood #colinmeloy #balzerandbray #harpercollinscanada
Instagram post 2225825160244587000_12415367 This weekend we said goodbye to my grandpa. My family gathered together around my grandmother, more than 20 of us, to share memories and moments of love. And, before we journeyed home, we stopped at a bookstore to explore. It was a few moments of peace in a busy weekend of events and family get-togethers. My grandfather always encouraged me to read. We would sit together, me with a book and him with the newspaper, and read silently. I will miss his quiet faith, his generosity, and his infectious smile. I will always be grateful that he loved me for me, bookishness included. . . . #grandfather #granddaughter #bookstore #explorebookstores #newbookstore #sayinggoodbye #bookish #bookishcanadian #indiebookstore
Instagram post 2222800874365915636_12415367 My tea cupboard is over flowing. And this is one of my latest additions, Grisha Grey tea from the lovely (and local!) @teahippies and was a gift from my sweet friend and writing buddy @kimcreatorca. Find yourself friend who give tea and books and bookish inspired tea as gifts. 😊 Have you read the Grishaverse books by Leigh Bardugo? They are really cool fantasy with a lot of layers. And, a Netflix show is in the works! This post isn't sponsored. I just like talking about books and local companies I like. Do you have a favourite tea or tea company? . . . #bookandtea #bookishtea #grishaverse #shadowandbone #fantasybooks #booktomovie #tea #teacup #shoplocal #cochrane #yyc
Instagram post 2221638571389894064_12415367 I started this book today (thanks for sending it @raincoastbooks) and oh my goodness I'm loving it. I'm 60 pages in and the Jane Austen (Anne Elliot) vibes and the space ships colonized by European royalty who had to flee Earth mix so well with the bachelorette/find a husband vibe. Plus there's a mystery, and political intrigue and so much. I've been sucked in. Full review will be on the blog next month once I've finished reading. If the rest of the book is as good as the first 60 pages, it will be magnificent.

Instagram post 2220037983460055585_12415367 I've been slowly working my way through this book since the fall (thanks @alexkgt!) and the more I read, the more I learn, and the more I believe that everyone should read this book. 📚 I love finding experts who are writing books to help others and share their knowledge in accessible ways. And @drjengunter is smart and snarky and doing just that - using her decades of training and experience to dispel lies and inform women about our bodies. 📚 What books have you learned a lot from? . . . #amreading #thevaginabible #nonfiction #bookish #bookishcanadian #read #booksforwomen #booksbywomen #booksaboutwomen #science #scicomm
Instagram post 2218466743217763675_12415367 Friday morning self care means a wander around Winners, then picking up a London Fog and reading a fun book for an hour. . I finished a couple of projects yesterday and decided to take this morning to rest and refresh. . Working from home can make it difficult to remember to rest, there's always something to do. But knowing that taking breaks is really important for my mental health is one of the reasons why I chose to go freelance instead of seeking new full-time employment after Hudson died. I need these breaks and mornings of rest to remain healthy. . What do you do to give yourself breaks to rest? . . . #mentalhealth #break #rest #freelance #freelancewriter #freelanceeditor #lossmama #stillbirth #grief #readingbreak #booksandtea #reader
Instagram post 2217797860093835188_12415367 I read this book last year and absolute adored it. I'd borrowed it from the library but knew after the first chapter that it would be a feel good book I'd want to read over and over again. ♥️ Flash forward to this week when my writing buddy @kimcreatorca and I were finally able to exchange Christmas gifts. The absolute sweet heart bought me a copy! Thanks, lady! ♥️ Find friends who love you so much they gift you your favourite books. I'm so grateful for friends like Kim who encourage me to read what I enjoy, and cheer me on in my own writing and editing endeavours. ♥️ I hope on this wintry Thursday you can feel some warm fuzzies in your heart for friends in your life who support and encourage you. And who gift books. 😊 . . . #bookish #givebooks #bookhaul #friends #support #encouragement #favoritebooks #readromance #bookishfriends
Instagram post 2217053443737208350_12415367 We're 8 days into the month and I've finally selected my #JanuaryTBR 👍🏻 . I've been slowly working my way through The Vagina Bible since September and am learning a lot. Every one should read this book so they can learn about how the female body actually works. . My hubs gave me Strange Planet for Christmas and I read it last night and laughed and laughed. . My sweet neighbour lent me Say You Still Love Me in September and I am hoping to finally read it. . The kind folks at @raincoastbooks sent me The Stars We Steal and I want to read it and review it before it's release day in February. . I'm also listening to audiobooks too. I just finished Our Stop and absolutely loved it. It's a sweet rom-com about two people who fall in love via missed connections letters in the newspaper. 📰 And I started Well Met today, which is a rom-com that takes place at a small town renaissance fair. 🎪 . I think this will be a pretty wonderful reading month. . What's on your #TBR? . . . #unreadshelfproject2020 #toread #booksandtea #bookstack #bookblogger #bookishcanadian #bookish #reader #bibliophile
