Memoir: Velvet Haney & The Mousehouse Years

October 16, 2014 by Sonya Leave a Comment

Velvet Haney went from living a life of poverty in the slums of Toronto in the 1960s to gallivanting around the world as a high fashion model, returning to Toronto 14 years later. And for over 50 years, she has kept the truth about her sensational upbringing a secret. Until now. Nothing has been … [Read more...]

What I’m Reading: Fall Books

September 30, 2014 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Aaaaahhhh fall! So much to love about the season: boots and tights; apple crisp and pumpkin pie; cooler days and turning leaves. And just as we leave our beach and pool days behind, so too do we turn away from light, summer reads. I love the meatier, heavier tomes that come out in fall, and this … [Read more...]

What I’m Reading: “Frog Music”

May 22, 2014 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

A few years ago, I picked up Emma Donoghue's ROOM, not knowing anything about it. The best-selling  novel was told in the voice of a five-year old boy who has been locked in a room with his mother all his life. It was an amazing, charming, funny literary tour de force. I've been looking forward to … [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...]

What I’m Reading: “The Circle”

November 19, 2013 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Have you ever looked at a gorgeous sunset and thought, "ooh I've got to Instagram that." When your kids say something cute, do you run to make it your Facebook status update? Do you spend more than your share of time trying to figure out how to squeeze your deep thoughts into Twitter-friendly 140 … [Read more...]

Scholastic Decoder: October 2013 Edition

October 9, 2013 by Alice Leave a Comment

It's October, so pumpkins and ghosties are big... and some good stuff, too. Elf Counting Turkeys Pack - both these counting books features some pretty loopy birds, and are a lot of fun for seasonal counting and reading together. Firehouse - I'm a big fan of Mark Teague, and I like the dalmatian … [Read more...]

This weekend is our annual book club weekend  up north. I have told you about previous years-wonderful people, food, activity, games, food, movies,wine, food, hysterical laughing, non stop chatting.

Book Club of One

November 15, 2012 by Kath

Here's an interesting conundrum.I'm a voracious reader. Truly voracious. I gobble books up and just can't stop until there's nothing left. I also love to talk about what I'm reading, or have recently read, but I hate book clubs and I won't join one.But wait, it actually makes sense. You see, I … [Read more...]
