5 stars to Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin Wow. This book is 60 years old, but the hype is still real. www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

The music video makes the song seem like a love song to her dogs, and honestly I'm here for it. 🥰🐶 Haley Reinhart - Promise (Official Video) youtu.be/zMt-HGpInE4?...

4 stars to Strange Weather by Joe Hill Really cool concepts in these 4 scary novellas. GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

New Blog Post: March 2026 Reading Wrap-Up No, that isn't a typo, this IS my March wrap-up. I'm THAT far behind schedule. 🤦‍♀️ worldliteratour.com/march-2026-r... #booksky

3 stars to Cup of Gold by John Steinbeck Steinbeck wrote a swashbuckling pirate novel?? GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

4 stars to 21 Things You Need to Know About Indigenous Self-Government by Bob Joseph A really important read for all Canadians as we move forward with reconciliation. GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky #DismantleTheIndianAct

I suspect that the Powers That Be looooove AI because it disengages your brain and softens your thinking. Your free thought, your imagination, gets unplugged and into the socket, the AI node goes. And they control that node. Which means they control your mind. So: they start with kids.

4 stars to The Midnight Club by Christopher Pike The novel that inspired the Mike Flanagan series (which I loved and is highly underrated). Read it in a day from one midnight to the next, in true Midnight Club spirit. GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

4 stars to The Weather Detective: Rediscovering Nature's Secret Signs by Peter Wohlleben Peter Wohlleben's passion for nature is contagious. 🥰 GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

3 stars to Molka by Monika Kim This horror novel has great moments, but it was extremely uncomfortable for me, and not in the fun way. GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

We love you too, Buffalo. 🥰🍁🦬

5 stars to I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid I searched high and low for a book that would break me out of my emerging reading slump, keep me turning pages, and give me that 5-star feeling. Found it! 🥰 GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

I haven't had a 5-star read in over a month, and I don't know what to dooooo. Everything I touch loses a star, idk.. 😭 #booksky

3 stars to As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder #3) I always love Jackson's writing, but I understand now why so many fans were outraged by the ending of this series. GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

4 stars to Come Closer by Sara Gran This was actually stressful. 😅 And really clever. And kind of hilarious? But mostly stressful. www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

I opened my very own little free library this weekend! Word got out today among the neighbourhood kids that there were stickers in there, and lots of them came by. They were all respectful, just took one or two they liked, but a couple kids left trinkets in exchange, one even homemade. 🥰 #booksky

Read #42 of 2026: 4 stars to These Familiar Walls by C.J. Dotson I really enjoyed going for the ride with this haunted house story, but I had a couple of quibbles. GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky #netgalley #stmartinspress

Canada Reads Day Three SPOILERS The first 3 eliminations happened in a very different order than I expected, but I'm not surprised at all by the final 2. I've felt all along that The Cure for Drowning would win, and it's looking like a safe bet. #CanadaReads #CanLit www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJJC...

Well I’m disapointed already. I absolutely loved Foe. Every critique of Foe seemed to have me saying “but that’s the whole point!!!” Hands down I would have voted for Its Different This Time. *sigh* #canadareads #canadareads2026 #CBC #foe www.youtube.com/live/i5Kb4sZ...

Canada Reads Day One SPOILERS I'm kind of annoyed, honestly. Foe was my favourite of this year's picks, and it was voted off because it made people think too much? Josh dela Cruz did a great job defending it, though. I totally agreed with his thoughts. www.youtube.com/live/i5Kb4sZ... #booksky

Read #41 of 2026: 4 stars to The Burning by R.L. Stine Trying to avoid a reading slump, so I reached for some 90s nostalgia and completed my re-read of The Fear Street Saga. 🥰 GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

Read #40 of 2026: 3 stars to Firestorm: The Great Los Angeles Fires and America's New Age of Disaster by Jacob Soboroff An interesting and informative, if at times repetitive, first-hand account of the LA wildfires of January 2025. www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

Read #39 of 2026: 4 stars to The Death of Trotsky by Josh Ireland I really enjoyed this very detailed account of the assassination of Leon Trotsky and the people and events leading up to it. GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

Read #38 of 2026: 2 stars to Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney A much-beloved thriller, but it utilized one of my least favourite tropes, so it didn't work for me. www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

#BookReview: Son of Nobody by Yann Martel ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Son of Nobody is a unique take on The Iliad, a scholarly analysis of itself, and also an intimate examination of a father's grief and regret. worldliteratour.com/review-son-o... #booksky #netgalley

Read #32 of 2026: 4.5 stars to You Did Nothing Wrong by CG Drews One of the stand-out horror novels of the year, which explores the mother/child relationship and cycles of abuse. #BookReview on my blog: worldliteratour.com/review-you-d... #booksky

Read #31 of 2026: A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides by Gisele Pelicot What can I say? This woman is a force of nature. Her "husband" and all his r*pe buddies are the scum that even the scum of the earth would scrape off its shoes. www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

Read #30 of 2026: 4.5 stars to Julie Chan Is Dead by Liann Zhang This is exactly the kind of unhinged mess I love to read. 🤣 Any time someone wants to pull apart the "influencer" lifestyle in a satirical way, I'm here for it. GR: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

#BookReview: Reboot by Justin Taylor ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a very complex, hard-to-define novel that brilliantly criticizes today's social and ecological norms. I'll be thinking about it for a long time. Full review on my blog: worldliteratour.com/review-reboo... #booksky

Read #23 of 2026: 4 stars to Her Last Breath by Taylor Adams This is a pretty solid, atmospheric thriller set in an underground cave system. Not for the claustrophobic! GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

It's been a long time coming. Canadian independent bookstores have banded together to create an online book buying source so you can avoid the behemoth in the room. (Here are the titles published by CMU Press, which I run.) Spread the word #booksky! www.booksellers.ca/publisher/cmu-press-18021

#BookReview and Read #22 of 2026: Dead in the Water by John Marrs 5 stars despite some flaws. Absolutely loved it. So addictive I had to stay up late last night to finish it, so my review is a little punchy. 🤣 Here on my blog: worldliteratour.com/review-dead-... #booksky

Read #21 of 2026: 2 stars to Nowhere Burning by Catriona Ward I'm surprised and disappointed to say that I didn't like this. GR: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky
