Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia – Book Review

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia is one of the best books I've ever read. Seriously, this inter-text woven with gothic lore, fantasy hijinks, a dash of romance, and riveting plot twists make for an excellent book. I haven't binged a book this hard in a while! I was skeptical at first about this book because…

#BookReview Pumpkins by Kevin Miller

Anyone who knows me knows that I am the Queen of Halloween (self proclaimed, of course). I LIVE for Fall and Halloween and breathe it with every fibre of my being. I love decorating (be it store bought or my own creations!), I love Goosebumps, I love giving out candy and making Halloween a fun…

#BookReview Hiding Out on Halloween by A.J. Kormon

Hiding Out on Halloween by A.J. Kormon is a delightful, middle grade read! I really liked this book, and not just because it features my favourite holiday! This craft middle grade book is aimed at readers who have trouble reading or just don't enjoy it as much. It combines a fast paced book with a…

#BookReview Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family by Robert Kolker

If you want your mind completely blown away then grab this book! Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family has been sitting on my shelf for probably too long. I've looked at it, thought about reading it, and then just decided otherwise. I wanted more fiction in my life! Or so I…

#BookReview Spiral by Khaled Talib

Khaled Talib has crafted another magnificent thriller, called Spirals, to keep you on the edge of your seats. In Spiral, Laurence Turner is apart of many tragic, surprise events that just keep coming his way. He's been around enough dead people to make it suspicious. Honestly, it's amazing this guy hasn't been labelled suspicious before!…

#BookReview I Miss You Most by Cassie Hoyt

I Miss You Most by Cassie Hoyt is an adorable picture book all about missing someone.  This is a great picture book filled with colourful illustrations that showcase the feeling of missing someone. It can be read as a story of grief or simply missing someone who is far away. I think this can be…

#BookReview The Underground Toy Society: You’re the Illustrator by Jessica D. Adams

The Underground Toy Society: You're The Illustrator by Jessica D. Adams is a delightful book to pick up if you are seeking some activities for your children. This series is one of my guilty pleasures. It's simplistic yet genius, cute yet versatile and just all around awesome. Instead of just a story, this time we…

#BookReview Two Mothers by K. Kris Loomis

Two Mothers is a horrifyingly great book by K. Kris Loomis. It features postpartum depression across generations, with two women (who become Mothers) being connected despite being many years apart. The first chapter alone having a 15 year old giving birth but potentially having to give that child up is… intriguing. It draws you in…

#BookReview 100 Tiny Tales by K. Kris Loomis

This book features one hundred drabbles (stories with one hundred words) by K. Kris Loomis. I had never heard of a drabble before, but man does it sound tough! How does one write a story and perfectly sum it up in one hundred words?! I'm awful at describing myself in little words, so kudos to…

#BookReview Snowbound (Milligan Creek #5) by Kevin Milligan

There is nothing I love more than another Milligan Creek book! I can't express how pumped I was when I heard there was another book coming from Kevin Miller. The Milligan Creek series is one of my top middle grade series EVER (and yeah, that's a big deal - I read a lot) so I…
