Sunday Musings: The Slump

Posted on September 6, 2015 12 Comments

I’ve been away for a while. Not, away away. Just, not here at Bibliosanctum so much. Fortunately, my co-bloggers have more than kept you entertained with their voracious reading and reviewing. It’s not that I’ve been absent in relation to bookish things. I’m still reading and am ahead of my Goodreads challenge goal, but for […]

Sunday Musings: Y I H8 YA

Posted on July 12, 2015 10 Comments

For me, the best kind of young adult novel is the young adult novel that doesn’t feel like a young adult novel. That is, it doesn’t have all the tropes of whiny, obnoxious teenagers whining obnoxiously about how their life sucks or pining obnoxiously over one or more romance options. Not that I’m totally against […]

Sunday Musings: Guilty Pleasures

Posted on January 11, 2015 14 Comments

My recent gaming adventures have involve many hours invested in Dragon Age Inquisition. One of my favourite moments features a companion character named Cassandra Pentaghast, whom the main character catches during a moment of downtime. Cassandra happens to be reading a copy of Swords and Shields, a romance serial, and talking to her about it leads into […]

My 2015 New Years resolution is to read! I know, I know, this is a shocking twist on my usual resolutions, but what can you do. This year I am challenging myself to read 100 books and comics. I don’t know what Worlds Without End has in store for us this year, but in the mean […]

Sunday Musings: It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

I still have presents to wrap, but at least I am finished all of my Christmas shopping. Oh wait…. There. Now I’m done. Hurray for online shopping! CURRENTLY READING Every year, my daughters’ school invites families to send in gently used items to be sold in the 25 Cent Sale. It’s such a delight to watch […]

Home in bed with a cold — but that’s nothing a good book can’t cure! CURRENTLY READING I’ve been playing a lot of Dragon Age Inquisition lately. A lot of Dragon Age Inquisition. And recently completed a mission involving the Empress of Orlais. The mission in the game follows up on one of the latest […]

Yesterday I went to my very first book fair! I’ve been going to and working for comic book conventions for well over a decade, but, since getting involved in the book blogosphere, I’ve been itching to attend a convention dedicated to some of my other loves. Enter INSPIRE! Toronto International Book Fair. INSPIRE! Toronto International […]

Sunday Musings: Challenges

Posted on November 9, 2014 5 Comments

November is well under way, and it seems that I am not so well under way with the challenges I’ve set out for myself this year. I’ve read only 108 of the 150 books and comics I intended to read for my Goodreads challenge. I have written all of 2281 words for NaNoWriMo. And my […]

Sunday Musings: Recovering Gamer

Posted on October 26, 2014 3 Comments

I’m just getting up after sleeping off the effects of pulling an all-nighter–something I haven’t done in a long, long time. No regrets, though, since this all-nighter was for the kids. As in the Extra Life gaming marathon in support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Together, we raised an astounding five million dollars–and the numbers […]

Sunday Musings: Giving Thanks

Posted on October 12, 2014 3 Comments

This is Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. There are many things I am thankful for, including a new job. It’s tying up a lot of my time, which means I have less time for reading, writing, and gaming, but so far, the trade off has been worth it. Hopefully I can find myself a new groove […]
