On the face of it, this has not been an impressive reading month for me. I only checked off three completed books: But WAIT. Don’t judge quite yet. I also started and did not finish more books than usual last month. Some I got quite far in. So it’s not like I wasn’t reading. Honest. READ MORE

I always think that when I go on vacation I’ll get all this reading done. I’ll read book after book sitting in a quirky coffee shop or a friendly park, and next thing you know, I’ll have caught up on my TBR list as if by magic. But in reality, I only get through the READ MORE

Perhaps because of the uncharacteristically hot weather we’ve been having in Vancouver over the past month, I’ve actually gotten through a respectable 6 new (to me) books in the past month – even some that had been on my TBR for quite some time! Though it’s hard to pick favourites, I think Cold Comfort Farm READ MORE

I got through five books in the past month – one of which was a review copy and a couple of which had been on my TBR list for longer than I care to admit! Though I enjoyed all of these, I’d have to say that my favourite, hands-down, was The Opposite of Loneliness. I READ MORE

  Well, it was a slower month for me, reading wise. Work is ramping up, and I haven’t been reading quite as voraciously! This month’s reads were quite varied. I’d say my top pics were probably the Razorland books and Being Henry David – possibly Thirteen Reasons Why. Razorland surprised me – I didn’t expect READ MORE

I haven’t done a monthly wrap-up before, but it sounded like fun, so here goes! I’ve had a pretty good start to the year, reading-wise. I not only managed to read a fair amount of books this month, but there were a couple that I really enjoyed and that will be hard to top! Here’s READ MORE
