Welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books! The book I’m sharing with you today is one of the most emotionally draining books I’ve read, and it’s absolutely amazing. Jolina Petersheim’s How the Light Gets In released last Tuesday, and if you’d like to read my full review you…
From the highly acclaimed author of The Outcast and The Alliance comes an engrossing novel about marriage and motherhood, loss and moving on. When Ruth Neufeld’s husband and father-in-law are killed working for a relief organization overseas, she…
Welcome to day three of The Emoji Files, showcasing my favourite reads of 2017 by the emoji they best correspond to. So far this week I’ve had The Swoony Awards and The LOL Awards, and today we’re looking at The WOW Awards: those books that had me riveted to the page and often on the edge my seat.
I’m going slightly rogue today for Top Ten Tuesday. The girls at The Broke and the Bookish have given the topic Ten Hidden Gems in X Genre. Well, I’m not limiting myself to one genre.

This weekend has been a flurry of activity at our house (hence the later-than-usual-book-buzz-post) as we’re preparing to leave for our trip to Melbourne on Tuesday (an 11-12 hour drive that we will be doing over two days!)

Hello and welcome to another edition of First Line Friday! 🙂 My first line this week comes from a much anticipated sequel: The Divide by Jolina Petersheim. I read and reviewed The Alliance last year and have been eagerly awaiting the conclusion to the story. It most certainly did NOT disappoint! Look for my review coming soon!
