I originally completed this survey in September 2014, so I thought it would be a good fit for my 10th blogiversary celebrations! Survey created by Jamie @ Perpetual Page Turner, which I found via Adam @ Roof Beam Reader. Links to my reviews where available. I have copied my answers from 2014 so we can compare how things have changed over the past ten years. I would love to see […]
![The Divorcées by Rowan Beaird [Family Reads]](https://i0.wp.com/fallingletters.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/the-divorcees-family-reads-banner.png?fit=1600%2C900&ssl=1&resize=245%2C150)
Why we chose Rowan Beaird’s The Divorcées Shazzie @ Reader at Work put this book on my radar. I suggested it for Mom because she reads a lot of WWII historical fiction.

I forgot to mention in my June month in review post that I would be acting at work again for five weeks. So that used up all my brain power from the July 7 to August 9. Add in all my camping trips, and my summer went by in a flash. I am still enjoying lovely weather in September so far, though, so looking forward to spending some time with […]

Then this past weekend (since June 28), we have family visiting from out of town so that has also kept me busy. But technically I met my blog post goal for this month so that’s exciting. 😛 I was reading my way through two […]

Why we chose Lesley Choyce’s The Unlikely Redemption of John Alexander MacNeil I plucked this book off my to-read list cos 1) it’s Canadian, 2) it sounded like something Dad might enjoy, and 3) it was available via the public library in both physical and digital copies. (That third reason is the precipitating factor. I was scrolling through my to-read-fiction shelf and specifically looking for books available at the library.) […]
