Favourite Fridays! Seven of Nine
Welcome to Favourite Fridays! Usually I write about YouTuber and Authors, but I’m mixing it up a little bit today and writing about one of my favourite characters. On a quest to introduce me to Star Trek, my husband has finally succeeded in making me a trekkie. My favourite series would have to be Voyager, […]
Throwback Thursday – The Highland Clearances
The Highland Clearances took places in the late 18th century over a period of about 70 years. This relates back to last weeks post that concerned Footsteps in the Snow. The Scott family in the story were victims of the Clearances and since I mentioned them previously I thought I would expand on them in […]
What I’m Reading – Left Neglected
Left Neglected is another remarkable piece by Lisa Genova, the author of Still Alice. She has a knack for crafting the startling and painful reality that illness brings to people. They are devastating to read, but are also amazing and I can’t stop reading once I’ve started. Every time I walk into the bedroom I […]

Productivity For The Win
A blissful week’s vacation has just ended. I have to say that I was almost more productive than I anticipated I would be. Traditionally when I have all the time in the world I get easily distracted and don’t focus the way I need to. This time I set myself a goal of 1,000 words […]

They have theories covering a wide range of fandoms; Disney, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc. They also have a variety of videos besides theories including Fast Facts, Google Autofill and Loot Crate […]
Throwback Thursday – Footsteps in the Snow
I thought today I would combine a Throwback Thursday with a What I’m Reading. Footsteps in the Snow is a book from the Dear Canada collection. It features the Red River Settlement in 1815 and is written by Carol Matas. The book features the fictional Isobel Scott, an immigrant from Scotland whose family was pushed […]
What I’m Reading – A Walk In The Woods
I grabbed A Walk In The Woods randomly while wandering in Chapters and giggled a few times to myself while I read it in Starbucks. It is so delightfully hilarious. Bill Bryson does an excellent job of making the reader laugh while at the same time educating us about the Appalachian Trail. The trail itself […]

Happily Ever After
One year ago today I was waking up at 5:30 am to have my hair and makeup done in preparation for a moment I’d waited over a year prior to arrive. A year ago today I got married and in honor of that I’m going to pick out my favourite weddings from books I’ve read. […]
