Alright people, this is serious. I’m actually telling you what to do here, something I don’t often do. Sure, I offer advice, sure I make suggestions, but to flat out give orders? That’s just not me. Unless it’s something that will improve your life…then I have to do it. If you don’t already listen to podcasts or have an app […]
Seth Godin said that “the critic, the mimic, and the clown all have one thing in common, they’re not doing the work.” He went on to say that, “if they stop hiding, they might even produce something significant.” (You can read the entire blog here) Now, I agree with him entirely. I also know I tend to take on the […]
Maybe I Angie Thomas’ debut novel, The Hate U Give, has shown up on Twitter feeds, Facebook pages, websites, New York Times Bestseller Lists, and everything in between as an amazing, insightful, life-changing read. John Green hails it as, “Stunning.” Others have proclaimed it to be, “Absolutely riveting!” and “Fearlessly honest and heartbreakingly human.” With so much talk about it, […]
STEP INTO THE FOLD. IT’S PERFECTLY SAFE. A little while ago I wrote a post about the one book you should read if you only read one book (check it out HERE if you haven’t read it). Now that Dark Matter, by Blake Crouch, has whet your appetite for all things parallel universe, you should check out, The Fold, by […]
Where do I begin? I loved this movie so much I can’t decide where to start. When I start to think of what I loved the most, then other elements come rushing to my mind and I can’t quite decide. So, I will simply begin, or give you a place to begin: 3D. If you go see this movie, I […]
Beauty and the Beast is coming out today! Today! Okay, well, only to select theatres today, which does not include mine, unfortunately, but just knowing it’s playing nearby is enough to warm my heart. I am so excited for this movie, can you tell? I was not a fan of Disney’s real life Cinderella (and you can see why, here) […]
“But now I’m not so sure I believe in beginnings or endings. There are days that define your story beyond your life. Like the day they arrived.” That quote is near the beginning of the movie and it struck me so much I had to go find it afterwards. Which is one very convenient aspect of the internet; I was […]
Let it be Dark Matter, by Blake Crouch. Honestly, this post could end right there. There is nothing more to say but to read it. It doesn’t matter what it is about, what type of novel it is, who its written for. It comes down to the simple fact that everyone should read this book. But fine, if you want […]
Tomorrow, if I get my shit together in time, I will be heading down south for a little holiday with my two children. Because I live in the arctic (okay, no I don’t, but it sure as hell feels like it sometimes), going to southern BC means driving for a minimum of 12-hours. With the amount of times I have […]
It was Tuesday night movie night again this week. Something which we’ve had to miss due to my husband’s short stint in Jujitsu classes. However, a love of movies (okay, popcorn for him) and a need to sit and relax for an evening won out and the Tuesday night movie nights are back! Yay for me! Actually, they had returned […]
