Hello hello dear readers!   It’s a big day today : The Infinite Curio turns 7 YEARS OLD!   I say it every year, I’ll say it again : I’m amazed I’m still here! Before the Curio (formerly known as the Infinite Shelf), I’d had a string of blogs that never lead anywhere. Keeping up with this place through highs and lows feels good, and to this day I still enjoy having my own little corner of the web, even...

R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril X – Done!   October is over and with that, the R.I.P. challenge is over! I did well this year. I was aiming for 4 books, and while I read almost nothing of my original selection (what a surprise!), I did manage to read at least 4 – and listen to a few more. Here is what I read, with links to reviews or quick thoughts for those I have yet to review : The Kind Worth Killing For by Peter Swanson (good...

Good Monday everyone!   Hope you had a great summer week! I’m feeling all happy and well rested after the Man and I got to spend a few days in the woods last week! We rented a cabin in a lovely location for the occasion. It was small (but perfect for two) and candlelit, and we ate lots of grilled sausages and s’mores. We had rain almost every day, but it didn’t stop us from exploring when the rain quieted down. It was so...

Happy Monday everyone!   How was your weekend? We had a beautiful, sunny and warm weekend here, and we absolutely enjoyed it. This weekend was our 12th anniversary, so we celebrated with a lot of sun, a walk in the Old Port of Montreal, and an absolutely delicious dinner there, too. I had lobster carbonara tagliatelle and we shared desserts, and it was amazing all around. I’ve been feeling like the luckiest woman ever for the past 12...

Happy Monday all! That’s it, July is over and August is here! It feels really weird to me; we’ve been having a very rainy and unusually cold summer, and while I’m not a fan of the super hot days, I’d still like to get a few more rays of sunshine. I feel as though the summer is only starting! But July is over, and with it my month of reading YA contemporary fiction. It was a great month. Lots of good and entertaining...

Happy Monday, Happy July! Hey everyone! It’s a new week and, for a few days now, it’s been a new month! I love July: not because it’s summer (I love a bit of sunshine, but I’m not that much a fan of very warm weathers!), but because July, for me, means a complete month dedicated to reading YA contemporaries! This will be my third year doing this, and I’ve been excited about it for a short while now! I’ve been...

Happy Monday, readers! How was your weekend? If you follow me on Instagram (@infinitecurio), then you already know that my weekend had an amazing start after the Man kidnapped me on Friday morning. We spent the day and the night at a really great hotel where we enjoyed winter in all its beauty. We walked a little, gave ice skating a try after 15+ years without practicing (I only fell once!) and ate amazing food. I absolutely loved the room,...

Filling the Shelf – 158 Filling the Shelf simply is Mailbox Monday, but with a title that suits my blog! If you’re interested in joining the fun or seeing what other bloggers added to their shelves, click away! (but beware, visiting other mailboxes will probably add to your neverending wishlist!) Hi all! I will make this short this week, as I woke up with a swollen index and I am pretty sure it’s finger cancer and it’s going...
