• Book Review: Where The Crawdads Sing

  So much hype and buzz over a book and it all seemed to have missed me at the time, then I finally decided to take a bite out of the popularity I seemed to be missing. I am beyond glad that I did! This book took me by surprise! This week on the blog, we…

• Book Review: The Kite Runner

  I’m going to say it before you do- what rock have I been hiding underneath that I haven’t read this book much sooner than now. But, here we are and I have finally taken the plunge and bought the book (R2 read this book in High School, so imagine how behind I feel). I have…

• Book Review: Felix Ever After

  Our 1st book review of the year and it’s a very different genre that we’ve explored this time around. While visiting Point-Claire Village last summer and more specifically The Babar Bookstore during the Montreal YA! Festival, I spotted this book and was immediately drawn to it. Not only for its content, but also because I…

• Book Review: The Other Black Girl

  As an avid reader, this book came across my radar when it wasn’t released yet in Canada and I literally ran and pre-ordered it! Yes, I was that excited. Not only is the cover goals, I loved the title, I could relate on 100% and also, it was such a captivating subject, I figured it…

• Book Review: The Prophets

  Sometimes you pick up a book, and you just KNOW it will leave a mark on you, some things are just seamless and this book is one of them. Though chosen because I am expanding my exploration of books from Black authors, I was pleasantly surprised by the subject matter and the wonder that this…

• Diverse Books For Kids

  Books, books, books! So many to choose from and so little time! Or at least that’s my issue with adult books, which seems to have transferred onto my daughter! Over the past few years and especially with the influx of more and more Black voices being given the platform and their over due space, many…

• Book Review: Saga Boy

  

  When I first came across this book, solely based on the tile alone, I knew I needed to read it, because despite my deep love for books, I do still choose them based of my visceral reaction. Otherwise known as choosing them based on their covers and this one stood out for many reasons. Being…

• Book Review: Why I Am No Longer Talking To White People About Race

  Sticking to my goals, and doing the work, making sure I keep myself updated, knowledgeable and accountable. Why I’m No Longer Talking To White People About Race is one of THOSE books, first published in 2017, but oh so so relevant today and I would almost venture to say it’s vital reading. Written within a…

• Book Review: The Beekeeper of Aleppo

  I actually came across this book on a photographer’s blog, in which I wasn’t looking for book recommendations, but I found it none the less. I am embarrassed to say that while the unrest in Syria has been going on for decades, it is one of the conflicts that I do not know very much…

• Book Review: Little Fires Everywhere

  

  I don’t know if this book needs much introduction, it was the talk of a lot of book clubs when it 1st came out and in some ways for me, it went under my radar, it wasn’t until I read Celeste Ng’s other book, Everything I Never Told You, that I was really taken with…
