I’m a big Jane Austen fan. I love her books, movies, and I even love traveling to Jane Austen-ish places. But, I really love a Jane Austen tea party! It doesn’t have to be fancy with decorations or anything. Just some great food and yummy tea! If you’re feeling the same way, I’ve got some…
It’s always fun to be part of a blog tour because you never know what kind of books will be offered up for you to read. Thank you to The Write Reads and Puffin Books for the opportunity to read and share my book review of The Ship of Shadows by Maria Kuzniar. If you…
I love day trips! You are able to leave your worldly belongs back in your base city, and go explore the surrounding world in just a day. It’s a fun way to see more of an area! And London (or the London area) is such a great base city. There are so many fabulous places…
In my quest to read more diversely this year, I came across Kwana Jackson’s books. More specifically, I came across Real Men Knit. What first appealed to me is the title. I’m a big fan of knitting and I typically enjoy books set in a knitting shop or that have something to do with knitting….

If Brazil is on your Bucket List, but you aren’t able to get there anytime soon, why not read some books set in Brazil. While traveling through the pages is certainly not the same as actual travel, it is a wonderful way to experience different places and cultures when you aren’t able to go. Books…
For any reader, this is an eternal question: what will you read next? For some of us, the book depends on the mood we’re in and what we feel like readers, for others it might be a very well organized to-be-read list, and for others still, it might be as simple as what’s available and…
This year I decided to challenge myself to read outside my comfort zone. I started the Read Around the World Challenge as a way of reading more books set in other countries. But, what I’m finding as I go through the challenge is that I’m really enjoying reading books translated to English but were originally…
Where can I take my kids in Toronto? I don’t know about you, but this is our battle cry every time we travel. Where can we take our kids? And now that we have teens, it seems like the resources for finding fun places aren’t as plentiful. So, if you happen to be heading to…
