Even though he had three cats living in his house, he wanted to find some more information on these sleek and furry creatures for the story he was writing. In the city of Victoria, there was no better placeContinueContinue reading “Once Upon a Time in a Bookstore”

We’re down to the final two months of the year, and while I had intended to post monthly wrap-ups on the blog, after March and April disappeared in a bit of a blur, it felt overwhelming to start trying to catch up on what I’d read. It’s been a truly amazing year for reading forContinueContinue reading “A Year Well Read”
