Even though Thanksgiving was a couple weeks ago for us here in Canada, I have been really inspired by all the thankful posts I have seen around the blogs of my many american friends. While I certainly have a lot to be thankful for in my life, I wanted to honor the books and authors that made the last 12 months of my reading life so fantastic. In no particular order, this year, I am thankful for : 1. Brandon Sanderson & the Mistborn...

Hey everyone! This is it : we are finally in our new place! We still have a few more things to get, but we have been sleeping in our bed, in our new bedroom since Saturday night. We were lucky that it didn’t rain too much, we had pizza and a birthday cake for the Man of the House, and it went much quicker than our last move. I had felt really “in between two places” since last week. The Monday before we moved in, we started...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to update you all quickly on the state of things. We are officially moving this coming weekend, but we have spent the last days at our new apartment, painting and cleaning. On Monday we moved the cat there so he would be able to get a good sniff of things and explore a little. It was terrifying. He still stays hidden during the day, but at night, he comes out and explore more and more of the apartment. Poor little furry...

Some of you may have noticed that the blog has been unusually quiet in the past couple of weeks. It’s been less than a dozen of days, but it feels like months since I showed up in the blogosphere! A lot has happened since, and I thought it would be nice to keep you all in the loop. About twenty days from now, the Man of the House, the Furry One and I will be moving! This was not something we knew about two weeks ago; we were already...

Hey everyone! If you visit here regularly you might have noticed that the homepage is now absent, landing you right on the blog’s page when you arrive on the Curio. It’s not a mistake, simply me trying something else! Don’t get me wrong, I love the front page. But no matter how pretty it is, and how useful it is in featuring what the blog is about, I’m always afraid it’s not the most useful/practical for you...

Happy Thursday all! So, I am super happy today because I’m finally making some changes around here, changes I have been working on for a little while! I talked about it a few times, mentioned it on twitter, and now it’s finally done; the final look for the blog is done, and while there might be some tweaks left to do, that’s pretty much it! Yay! It’s what I wanted it to be; simple and clean with just a tad of...

Today, I finally started a project I had had on my mind for a short while. That is, a retirement box. What is a retirement box? you ask. And also; aren’t you a little young to think about retirement? Why, yes, I am a little young to retire. I believe I still have a few good years left in me. No, that box is for none other than my mom, the awesome lady who first introduced me to books. Hi mom! (I know she lurks around my blog on a daily...

Why yes, that is exactly what I meant! Hello to you too,...
