Cheeseburger casserole for dinner tonight really hit the spot. Filling, delicious, and made enough for us to have leftovers tomorrow.

Highly recommend this book - it was one of my favorite reads of 2025. If you haven't picked it up yet now is a good time as it's now available in all formats.

⛴️ The Ferryman is a fascinating sci-fi novel with some great ideas, a great atmosphere and protagonists that do just enough to stay out of the way. Read my full review 👇 www.lukeharkness.com/book-reviews...

Today is dedicated to blog work. I've already worked on two post drafts, cleaning them up, and now they are almost ready to be scheduled. I also need to work on reducing the number of open browser tabs because my browser is bogged down by the sheer number I have open right now.

Hubby and I spent the last 2 hours outside working on setting up new raised beds. The craziest part is we were in t-shirts, in February, in Canada! I also officially started the garden by planting onion and pepper seeds in seed trays.

Chocolate chip muffins fresh from the oven make for a great late lunch.

For tonight's family movie night, we watched Strange Brew. Very Canadian, quite weird, but oddly entertaining.

A Saturday starting with a pancake breakfast will always be a good day.

Today's library pick-ups. I always enjoy a David Attenborough documentary. As for the book, learning more about Maple Syrup seems like a good Canadian thing to do. #libraryhaul

Oh, that's not fun. I was working on scheduling some reviews, and one of them is now blank. I know I not only had a full review written but also saved the draft multiple times during the process, but now there's nothing there. I guess I'll be rewriting that review later today.

Book Review: The Saviors Book Cafe Story In Another World Vol 1 exploringallgenres.com/review-savio... #booksky 📚💙 #manga

Busy morning, but that's typical for Fridays. Got groceries, walked the dog, mixed up a batch of bread dough, and started some laundry.

Book Review: Finding Mr. Write by Kelley Armstrong exploringallgenres.com/finding-mr-w... #booksky 🌶️📚💙

Had hoped to do one quick thing in the kitchen today and then move on to other tasks. But then, in my haste, I spilled something and turned a 5-minute task into a 30-minute task.

I forgot how good hummus was. Especially homemade hummus. I ate SO much of it at dinner.

Well, I don't know where the day went (actually, I do, I was playing WoW all day), but it's dangerously close to dinner time, so I must stop for now. It's so nice out, we are throwing some pork chops and potatoes on the BBQ and having carrots and hummus as well.

Book Review: Adult Survivors of Toxic Family Members exploringallgenres.com/adult-surviv... #booksky 💡📚💙

Alright, emails are dealt with. Going to grab lunch real quick and then it's on to blog work.

Today's to-do list (internet permitting): -work on the blog -reply to emails -listen to an e-audiobook from the library -plant onion and pepper seeds in seed trays

Our internet has been all over the place today. It's finally acting normally, so I may try to knock out some blog work over the next hour or so.

Review: Light of My Life by Takiba and Fuuko Minami Even though Erin has decided that manga style art doesn't *really* work for her in her romance reading, she was utterly charmed by the HEA in this one.

Done in the kitchen for the day - at least until dinner rolls around. Made 32 pizza pockets for the freezer, although we did enjoy a few for lunch, and also whipped up 2 dozen carrot raisin muffins. Thankfully, hubby will be doing the dishes, which is our deal: whoever cooks, the other cleans.

February is here, and that means it's time for another monthly TBR. exploringallgenres.com/february-202... #booksky 📚💙 #TBR

Aha! Figured out the issues with today's blog post. I had it scheduled for PM, not AM. That was an easy fix.

Today's to-do list: -figure out why today's blog post didn't go live -laundry -bake muffins and pizza pockets -play WoW

We watched Face/Off for tonight's family movie night, and we all enjoyed it quite a bit. There were a few moments where it felt slow, but overall a good movie.

Barbequing dinner in late January, in Canada, feels weird but also oddly satisfying. I will never complain about nice weather during the winter months.

I'm finally getting a start to the day. Spelt in, which was much needed, and then puttered around doing a lot of nothing for a couple of hours. But I just got back from walking the dog, tossed a load of laundry in, and now I'm going to tackle some blog work.

Book Review: Cat + Gamer Vol 5 by Wataru Nadatani exploringallgenres.com/cat-gamer-vo... #booksky 📚💙 #manga

I try not do blog work in the evenings, but I'm behind on so much that I put in an hour or so in tonight, and I'm happy to have gotten two posts almost done. I'll give them an edit in the morning and then schedule them.

Today's library pick-ups. Since reading doen And Dusted earlier in the month, I knew I had to pick up the next novel in the series, so that's going to be one of my first reads in February. I can't recall if I've ever seen the movie Face/Off before, but we'll be watching it this weekend.

Happiness is purchasing a giant stuffed rhino. It's so hard to find rhino items, so whenever I find one, I HAVE to get it. This is now the largest rhino in my collection.

Phew, busy day and a half. Between getting sucked into World of Warcraft and some warm temps that allowed us to get some early garden work done, I barely looked at social media. Time to play catch-up.

I've done everything on my to-do list plus a few extras, so now it's time to read. I'm finally diving into Red River.

this sapphic fantasy romance is so adorable! if you want cozy vibes, friends to lovers, and lots of family feels, this is the read for you. #booksky
