What I’m Reading: “Boy, Snow, Bird”

March 12, 2014 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Some books wash over you like a wave; they're read quite easily, bathe you as you're enjoying them and then recede, seldom to be remembered. Other books pull you down like a rip current; demanding your full attention and observation, leaving you almost breathless at the end. Those are the books you … [Read more...]

What I’m Reading: “The Winter People”

March 1, 2014 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

I was recently asked what genre of book I enjoy reading. The truth is that I'm drawn first to literary fiction. I'll dip into chick lit to cleanse my palate after a particularly heavy novel, and I do enjoy a good memoir every now and then. Vacation means mysteries to me, and non-fiction is my audio … [Read more...]

What I’m Reading: “All The Broken Things”

January 25, 2014 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

I think I fell in love with this book the first time I saw it. Throwing the old saying out the window, you really can judge this book by the cover. Kathryn Kuitenbower's All the Broken Things lives up to the beautiful, captivating artwork on the paperback. Set in Toronto in 1983, Bo is a … [Read more...]

October 12, 2013 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

When I Instagrammed this photo of myself on a recent Friday night and captioned it, "Feel like I'm catching up with an old friend", so many of my own acquaintances replied and commented about how much they're all looking forward to catching up with Bridget Jones, too.  (Side note...how much would … [Read more...]
