An Interview with Aaron Cully Drake; author of Do You Think This Is Strange?
The best thing about Aaron Cully Drake agreeing to an interview, is that I get another chance to tell you to go read this book. Go read it! (My review) The next best thing is getting to dig deeper into the inspiration behind the book, and into the mind of its author. Q: What inspired … Continue reading An Interview with Aaron Cully Drake; author of Do You Think This Is Strange?
The People in the Trees by Hanya Yanagihara
I have been seeing A Little Life all over the place lately. But, I had yet to read The People in the Trees, the premise of which appeals to me more anyway. So, after reading Carolyn's review of A Little Life, Laura (from Reading In Bed) and I decided to read it together. Thanks for reading … Continue reading The People in the Trees by Hanya Yanagihara
Away From Everywhere by Chad Pelley
Away From Everywhere is the cause of my second A-Z CanLit Challenge cheat. So far, I have been going in order, but for this book I am making an exception and skipping ahead two letters. All because I want Chad Pelley to be on my official A-Z list. He deserves it. A while ago I … Continue reading Away From Everywhere by Chad Pelley

The Devil You Know by Elisabeth de Mariaffi
I went into The Devil You Know hoping to be scared silly, but that's not what happened. It's more a smart look into the way we have been taught to fear life. It is creepy and horrifying (it's about rape and murder, after all), and suspenseful at times, but don't expect it to make you … Continue reading The Devil You Know by Elisabeth de Mariaffi
The Capacity For Infinite Happiness by Alexis Von Konigslow
Who wouldn't want to read a book with this title? I am guilty of judging a book by its title (the cover is pretty nice, too), but the good news is that it paid off. I have spent very little time in my life thinking about Harpo Marx . Who would have thought to write him … Continue reading The Capacity For Infinite Happiness by Alexis Von Konigslow
Quotes From Canada; Michael Ondaatje (+ new books!)
I went to our annual Canadian Federation of University Women Book Sale last weekend and came home with these. Last year, my pile looked like this. This weekend, I just happened by a used book sale at the local museum. This pile cost me $4.50.

Literary Wives is an on-line book club that examines the meaning and role of wife in different books that have the word “wife” in the title.
