    Episode 7 - The Housemaid
    Jan 19 2024

    Happy New Year everyone! I mentioned during my 2023 Reading Rewind show that I wanted to talk more about books that I rated less than 5 stars and that I didn’t really like, so we’re starting 2024 off strong with just that. The Housemaid is a thriller about a young woman named Millie who gets hired to work as a housemaid for a wealthy family. Unfortunately, the woman of the house, Nina, seems set in making Millie’s job - and life - hard. Little does Millie know, both of them are holding on to dark secrets.

    Episode 4 - The Three Rivers Controversy
    Nov 24 2023
    Something a little bit different this week. Instead of doing a book review, I wanted to discuss a book-related controversy that happened earlier this year. At the centre of it all is former child actor/author Sarah Stusek, and her semi-autobiographical novel Three Rivers. The book is currently standing at a resounding 1.3 stars on GoodReads, and not just because it's a bad book. Tune in to hear all the juicy details!

  • Episode 3 - The Woman in Me

    Episode 3 - The Woman in Me
    Nov 24 2023

    This week's featured book is The Woman in Me, by Britney Spears.


    This book truly needs no introduction. If you know anything about Britney Spears and all she's gone through, then you know even just a little bit about what's going to be in this book. A gut-wrenchingly beautiful story about a woman just trying to do what she loves - create art and raise her sons.


    Genre: non-fiction, memoir

    Trigger Warnings: abuse, abortion, forced conservatorship, cheating

    Episode 2 - A Good Girl's Guide to Murder
    Nov 24 2023
    This week's episode features our review of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, by Holly Jackson. This young adult mystery novel, released in 2019, is the first book in a trilogy and is easily one of (if not THE) best books I have read in 2023. Full of twists and turns, this is not a book you can predict the ending of! Tune in for more!
