Indigo Chapters: Sherway Gardens

Jul 21, 2016 | Olivia

This past weekend, I convinced (read: tricked) Sarah into checking out the new Indigo Chapters store at a mall here in Toronto. I’d heard about the opening of this new location back in May (there was a party and everything), and I’d been meaning to stop by for quite some time. I figured my birthday weekend was as good a time as ever. I was expecting the store to be nice.

I wasn’t expecting it to be this nice. I don’t exaggerate when I say the following.

This. Store. Is. Beautiful.

Sanctuary Bay

Jul 19, 2016 | Sarah
Sanctuary Bay by Laura J. Burns and Melinda Metz |

What starts out as your average “low-income girl in upper-class world” plot line turns out to be much darker and surprising in a good way! The plot frequently changes directions moving from drama to thriller to mystery to action; a good book for when you can’t settle on one genre and want a bit of everything!

The Fray Theory: Resonance

Jul 14, 2016 | Olivia
The Fray Theory Resonance by Nelou Keramati |

What first drew to the fray theory was its cover. It isn’t often these days that you will find painted covers, and the style reminded me of a classic 80s science fiction novel, but with a modern edge. It is beautiful. So I contacted the author to see if she was handing out ARCs. Turns out she was, and on top of that, she’s Canadian. How could I not read and review?

When Life gives you all lemons and no reading time.

Jul 12, 2016 | Olivia

How do I make sure to make time for reading in my day to day life?

The answer is that I don’t. I’m the kind of person who does things in sprints. When I read, I read A LOT and ALL AT ONCE. When Sarah and I first started planning this blog out back in April, I was still in exams and so I couldn’t really read. As soon as they were over, I launched myself into reading and knocked off quite a few books in a very short period. I was also between school and my summer job, so I had nothing but time on my hands. Lately. It hasn’t been like that. Lately, it’s been more like Olaf here:

This is fine right? Tooooootally fine.

Gossip Girl

Jul 7, 2016 | Sarah
Gossip Girl by Cecily von Ziegesar |

Gossip Girl is a guilty pleasure book, an ideal lounging-by-the-pool summer read! The partying will make you want to go out & do something fun (which you can since school is out!), the characters quickly feel like people you actually know, and the plot is full of drama – be warned, Gossip Girl is totally addictive!
