The Charm Bracelet By Viola Shipman

June 24, 2016 by Christine Stock 91 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 6 Comments

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...]

UrbanReads: “The Girl You Lost” By Kathryn Croft

March 28, 2016 by Christine Stock 2 Comments

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...]

Book Review: “The Other Me” By Saskia Sarginson

January 14, 2016 by Christine Stock 1 Comment

While visiting my sister and her girls over the holidays, I thought it would be a great idea to have my niece pluck out my gray hairs. I don’t have a lot of them, but let’s face it: I’ve reached the time of my life when I can no longer deny having the shiny little suckers. They’re hiding in there, … [Read more...]

Book Review: “House Of Thieves” By Charles Belfoure

book review, house of thieves, charles belfoure

I have to admit that I didn’t jump on the Downton Abbey craze right away. I had heard about the show and how good it was, but I just didn’t get around to watching it. I don’t watch a lot of television anyway, so not picking up a new show wasn’t too much of surprise. Besides, it took me at least a … [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: “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 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: “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...]
