  • Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling

    I should have read these years ago. Phenomenal. I wish I’d bought the boxed set. Also, how great is the new Bloomsbury design?! No. 20 on my challenge. Everyone has read the first Harry Potter. And obviously, the movies are awesome.

  • A little foreshadowing…

    Settling in for a Saturday night read. Any guesses as to which number this fulfills on my challenge?

  • #RedneckABook

    Have you heard of this #RedneckABook trend? It apparently started as a hashtag war on @Midnight, a Comedy Central show. It’s hilarious. My contribution: Sisters Brothers Lovers. And here are some of my favourites: @KeithBarrett The Hitchhikers Guide to Road Kill @Brentalfloss Eat, Pray, Eat @TheSneak0 50 Shades of Minorities Who Best Go Back to…

  • Two Night Stand

    A typical rom com: hot people in a ridiculous situation. So obviously I loved it.

  • Tomorrow’s Promise by Sandra Brown

    BLARGH. Why are her characters always so asinine? Not worth a number on my challenge. PS. Quick tip for authors: don’t describe clothing in detail. No one cares. Unless it’s a chastity belt. Then some people might care.

  • A handy how-to guide

    Read this and this, click here to validate my existence. I dare you to find the hidden menu. If you like that little sketch up there, it’s a doodle that took my very talented, very affordable designer friend Sydney Barnes about 30 seconds. Hire her. Enjoy! Or don’t. I can’t tell you what to do—I’m not your real mom.

  • Unbroken

    Wow. Just wow. I hope this film did the true story justice because his life was unbelievable. Also, you might like this.

    If you: – watched the tv series – read the books – like quick-witted come backs – enjoy terrible karaoke – watch movies you should watch this movie.

  • Still Alice by Lisa Genova

    Never have I read a narrative so terrifying. It is poignant, thoughtful, and distressingly believable. Alzheimer’s Disease has always been scary—now it may be my greatest fear. No. 2 on my challenge. I cannot wait to see this movie.

  • The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt

    Unlike any ‘western’ I’ve ever read. It’s gritty, violent, relentless, and often utterly ridiculous. I liked it. No. 8 on my challenge. This is one of the first books I purchased when I moved to Vancouver. It’s about time I got around to reading it.
