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...]

Book Review: “Weightless” By Sarah Bannan

July 21, 2015 by Christine Stock Leave a Comment

I was 11 years old when my parents told me that we were moving to Los Angeles. I was thrilled, of course. Television had taught me that Los Angeles is the land of palm trees and sunshine and movie stars, and I’d have the time of my life. Or so I thought. Starting a new school in the middle of the … [Read more...]

Book Review: “Monday’s Lie” By Jamie Mason

March 23, 2015 by Christine Stock Leave a Comment

I can say (with a fair amount of certainty) that most women I know want to be a perfect mom. Let me clarify what I mean by “perfect.” I’m not talking about the type of mom who wears a permanent smile, keeps an immaculate house and has a full cookie jar at all times. As if. The kind of “perfect … [Read more...]

Book Review: “The Girl On The Train” By Paula Hawkins

March 13, 2015 by Christine Stock Leave a Comment

I watch people with the same kind of fascinated horror that I view a car wreck. I don’t intend to stare, but I just can’t seem to tear my eyes away from the catastrophe that is in front of me. Perhaps it’s human nature; I am naturally drawn to the drama of others because it reminds me that my life, … [Read more...]

Book Review: “All the Bright Places” By Jennifer Niven

February 17, 2015 by Christine Stock Leave a Comment

There’s a lookout tower in Dorset, Ontario, that owns me. It’s a hundred-foot tall steel structure that provides a beautiful view of the surrounding lakes. Or so I’ve been told. It’s one of those scenic towers with grated steps. You know the kind: climbing it involves watching the safe, firm land … [Read more...]

Book Review: “Big Little Lies” By Liane Moriarty

January 2, 2015 by Christine Stock Leave a Comment

I’m not much of a Hollywood Star gazer, but I have to say that I kind of love Jennifer Garner. My admiration of her has nothing to do with her acting ability (although I hear that she’s quite talented), and everything to do with what I’ve witnessed of her mothering. I can’t count how many pictures … [Read more...]

Summer Escapism

July 15, 2009 by Kath

Maybe it's because my life is so overwhelming right now, or maybe it's just something about summer, but I am devouring books by the bucketful. And not particularly literary books. No, I'm into the page-turning, all-engrossing, character-driven escapist novel: exclusively. So much so that when my new … [Read more...]
