Book Review: All Is Not Forgotten By Wendy Walker

August 25, 2016 by Christine Stock 1 Comment

My love for my husband has grown exponentially over the last two hours. It’s yet another stifling day here in Toronto and I’m just a bit grumpy about it because our home has no air conditioning. So as I sit here wallowing in my misery, my husband has been assisting our daughter as she packs for … [Read more...]

Book Review: They May Not Mean To, But They Do By Cathleen Schine

August 16, 2016 by Christine Stock Leave a Comment

Last year, while getting my eyes examined, I mentioned to my (very young) optometrist that I felt like the world was getting darker. I was having difficulty seeing things and was finding that I needed more light, especially while reading. I wasn’t going blind, he assured me. Apparently, a darkening … [Read more...]

Book Review: At The Edge Of The Orchard By Tracy Chevalier

July 26, 2016 by Christine Stock Leave a Comment

My aunt and I were reminiscing last week about some of the vacations that we took together when I was a child. My family didn’t have a lot of extra money to spend on exotic trips; our vacations were spent driving to various famous sites and national parks instead. We loved to camp, and many of my … [Read more...]

The Nest by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney

July 12, 2016 by Christine Stock 1 Comment

I have this thing with Facebook: I can’t decide if I love it or I hate it. I love the fact that I get to keep in touch with people I probably wouldn’t otherwise, but I hate the fact that I’m kind of addicted to it. I resisted signing up with Facebook for quite a while. I’m a private person, and I … [Read more...]

The Charm Bracelet By Viola Shipman

June 24, 2016 by Christine Stock 4 Comments

I fell in love on my thirteenth wedding anniversary, and not with my husband. The wonderful man I married (whom I’ve already been in love with for well over a decade), knew that I had been longing to visit New York City. We’ve been to upstate New York several times together (which in the autumn … [Read more...]

My Mad Fat Diary By Rae Earl

June 13, 2016 by Christine Stock 1 Comment

I can honestly say, ladies, that I don’t know of any woman who is completely happy with her body. As sad as it is, we focus on what we deem to be flaws and rarely appreciate the parts that are perfectly acceptable. Take my hands, for example. They are perfectly acceptable, even attractive hands with … [Read more...]

Lilac Girls By Martha Hall Kelly

May 30, 2016 by Christine Stock 8 Comments

Some kids get in trouble for refusing to do chores, ditching school, or getting bad grades. I wasn’t one of those kids. I used to get in trouble for reading. I should probably clarify that is wasn’t the actual reading that got me in trouble, it was the fact that I was doing it, under my covers … [Read more...]

The Children by Ann Leary

April 28, 2016 by Christine Stock Leave a Comment

Book review of The Children

Like most siblings, my sister and I used to squabble from time to time. Actually, to be honest, we fought quite a bit. Our arguments were always over the usual stuff: personal space, annoying habits, and who was loved more by our parents. My sister is younger and I thought she was babied; she … [Read more...]

Book Review: “All The Winters After” By Seré Prince Halverson

April 18, 2016 by Christine Stock Leave a Comment

Some kids get an allowance, but I used to earn a nickel for every deer I spotted and a dollar for every bald eagle. I only earned a penny for each white horse, though, because they were easier to find. The summers of my youth were spent in a family cabin on a lake in north-western Wisconsin. It … [Read more...]

UrbanReads: “The Girl You Lost” By Kathryn Croft

March 28, 2016 by Christine Stock Leave a Comment

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard the phrase, “You just wait!” over the past few months. If you, like me, are the parent of a tween, you’ve probably heard it too. Well-meaning people all over the place are warning me (with a slightly ominous tone I might add) of what I’m now thinking of … [Read more...]
