Photo by u4e09 u70b9sky on Pexels.com Spring has arrived and my grumpy, downer spirit is renewed, lol. I've been reading up a storm and have fallen way behind in reviews- oops. Hopefully, in the next couple of weeks I can make inroads on the omissions. Here are today's top picks. Click the covers to learn …
Spring was soooo close, then we got a rude Arctic outflow that brought below seasonal temps and some of the white stuff. I'm hoping it doesn't do too much damage to the tender buds, but we shall see. This week I'm catching up on a few NetGalley reviews and one from a local bestselling author …
Photo by Johannes Plenio on Pexels.com Still catching up on my reading list before my poor Kindle revolts, lol. Today I have a selection of different genres to share with you. The first is from creative writer Craig Boyack. His fantasy series The Hat is highly entertaining and imaginative. https://read.amazon.ca/kp/embed?asin=B094GG6VGK&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_GBJZJ1Z8V4A7JXHJ8TGJ&tag=jacqbiggar-20 Lizzie and the hat are …

It's only two days until my book release day and I'm nervous about how it will be received. It's deeper and more emotional than anything I've previously written. While there is a romantic storyline the main focus is between two sisters who have gone through a traumatic event, damaging their relationship. Whether it's because of …
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com The fun of growing all of your plants in containers is the ability to move them whenever you want to refresh the garden. Some need either more or less lighting, others become too large for their environment, and then some show off their best colors in the fall and deserve …

This week got off to a rough start; I took a header in the garden and smashed into a decorative rock. Yes, it hurt right away 🙂 My daughter and grandson left for New Zealand Monday. As many of you know, she's moving toward her doctorate in biology and was accepted to a university in …
Woohoo, I've had a breakthrough on my WIP and FINALLY know where the story is going. For a pantser this is equivalent to finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow 🙂 I'll share another teaser with you soon, but for now let's delve into some of the fantastic summer reads I've …

This week it's my daughter's *** birthday! It seems like yesterday that I was teaching her to walk and now she's a mother with an almost-grown son of her own. Where does the time go? This is one of my favorite pictures of her as a baby- isn't she cute? 🙂 I've read a couple …
It's been so nice outside that I haven't had much time to visit the blogs, much less come up with a brilliant post {difficult at any time!}, but hope to comment here and there throughout the summer- my apologies. It was hubby's birthday on the weekend. We spent the day eating fresh berries and talking …
This week I have a murder mystery from the great Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb, a Netgalley women's fiction pick, and a contemporary blogging recommendation. When I first learned of the In Death series, I wasn't sure it would appeal to me. Set in the future, there are flying cars, ray guns, and many …
One of my favorite places to go when I'm seeking inspiration is Esquimalt Lagoon. On one side, you have the Pacific Ocean with a view of Victoria harbor... and on the other side, Royal Roads University with Hatley Castle seen in many featured films such as Deadpool, X-Men, Smallville, and many more. Is it any …

Balroop Singh opened my eyes to the beauty and grace of poetry. Her latest collection is filled with …

Photo by Anton Atanasov on Pexels.com From a high-heel alcoholic retired service dog to a missing plane in the Bermuda Triangle, this week's reading has been interesting, to say the least! I was gifted a copy of Rebecca Zanetti's latest in her Deep Ops series, Unforgiven, and couldn't put it down! The book is a …
Photo by TANSU TOPUZOu011eLU on Pexels.com There's just something about a cowboy that makes us swoon. They're throwbacks to another era. A time when horses roamed the prairies and men worked long hours in the saddle to tame the land. Thanks to Sandra Cox and her engrossing stories, I've rediscovered my love of the wild …
Photo by freestocks.org on Pexels.com Three heartwarming reads to start out the New Year! There's nothing like a good book and a hot cup of tea on a chilly winter's evening. We've had a bit of a cold snap (for us) here on the west coast and I've been holed up inside with hubby and …
