Book Review: “The Secrets of Lake Road” By Karen Katchur

November 16, 2015 by Christine Stock 1 Comment

My dad and I were talking recently about of friend of his who has been blind since birth. We are in complete awe of her ability to function almost as normally as a sighted person. Sure, she has a seeing-eye dog and some cool electronic gadgets to help her out, but she is amazingly capable … [Read more...]

Book Review: “The Good Neighbor” By Amy Sue Nathan

November 2, 2015 by Christine Stock 1 Comment

You know the saying, “You marry the man, you marry the family”? (And boy, isn’t that the truth ladies?) I’ve found out recently that a similar relationship forms when you buy a piece of property. My husband and I had a list of “must-have” criteria when shopping around for a cottage last year. We … [Read more...]

Book Review: “Bliss” By Shay Mitchell And Michaela Blaney

October 22, 2015 by Christine Stock 1 Comment

Last Saturday morning the handle of my coffee cup broke off in my hand. The cup was a leftover from a club I belonged to in university: Sigma Tau Delta—the Honours English Club (exciting, I know). It made me sad…the mug was practically vintage. Every once and a while I’m struck by the fact that … [Read more...]

Book Review: “Furiously Happy” By Jenny Lawson

October 12, 2015 by Christine Stock 1 Comment

I kid you not: I was at the gym the other day and the guy on the elliptical machine next to me was eating a candy bar and drinking a Coke. I couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing, and I thought to myself…well, I’m sure you can guess what I thought—you’re probably thinking the same thing right … [Read more...]

Book Review: “At the Water’s Edge” By Sara Gruen

October 1, 2015 by Christine Stock 1 Comment

Okay, I’ll admit it: I’m a big baby when it comes to cold water. My mom used to call me a wimp, but my husband is a bit kinder—he says that I’m delicate. I enjoy swimming, but I have a narrow temperature range when it comes to full-body immersion. On average, 78-82 degrees is just about right for … [Read more...]

Book Review: “The Other Daughter” By Lauren Willig

September 21, 2015 by Christine Stock 1 Comment

My trip to England two years ago was magnificent, until I had a tantrum in the middle of a street. My sister, niece, aunt and I had looked forward to the trip for months. We had never been to London before, so we didn’t want to miss a thing: Westminster Abbey, the Globe Theatre, St. Paul’s … [Read more...]

Book Review: “The Girl Who Wrote In Silk” By Kelli Estes

September 8, 2015 by Christine Stock 1 Comment

I have a confession to make: I am super envious of anyone with a beautiful singing voice. I would love to be a singer… not a performer mind you, but someone who sings well. That way I could belt out tunes in the shower or harmonize with the car radio without completely embarrassing my child. I … [Read more...]

Book Review: “The Secrets We Keep” By Stephanie Butland

August 24, 2015 by Christine Stock 1 Comment

At 11 years old, my daughter is officially a "tween". I love that word. In case you don’t know its origins, 'tween is actually a contraction of "between", as in between the ages of 10 and 12. It’s true—I looked it up. According to dictionary.com, a ‘tween is somebody who is too old to be a child … [Read more...]

Book Review: “Fishbowl” By Bradley Somer

August 11, 2015 by Christine Stock 4 Comments

Cats are so weird. Take my cat Leo, for example. Every morning I spend several minutes realigning throw rugs and straightening couch pillows in order to tidy up from his 4:00am wild tear around the house. Of course Leo is sound asleep (in the dog bed) when I’m awake, so I make sure to nudge him a … [Read more...]

Book Review: “Pretty Is” By Maggie Mitchell

July 30, 2015 by Christine Stock 1 Comment

My family doesn’t watch a lot of television, which is why I became a tad bit suspicious not long ago when my daughter told me (within the total time lapse of about an hour) that I needed to buy an elliptical/treadmill cross-training machine, a no-more-tears detangling brush and an amazingly painless … [Read more...]
