Book love

I hope my future home will contain so many books that they will need to occupy every available surface and spill out from corners and cupboards. Having time to read over the winter break has been one of the highlights of my time off from school.

So far I've devoured Eat, Pray, Love (which I thought was going to be a pretty floofy book but I thoroughly enjoyed reading about this woman's travels and all the interesting people she met), The Lovely Bones (literally could not put this book down. It's been on my to-read list for ages now), Blankets (beautiful graphic novel about the author/illustrator's first love. Couldn't put this one down either), and The Lake of Dead Languages (this book is literary crack I tell you! Recommended to me by Abi).

Currently working on Basilica and have The Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food, and Vanished Smile on deck.

Anyone have any good book recommendations that I should add to my list?

Happy Monday



Happy Monday everyone and Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday. I've had this song stuck in my head all day.

Christmas fort

Mireille and I built a fort in our living room and have pretty much been camping out and watching movies in it for the past two days. It's awesome, you're jealous.

Monday Mix #24: Best of 2009, part two

photo here

Here is part two of my favourite songs of the year, in no particular order. So many songs that I loved this year that I doubled the Monday Mix today. Listen to my tenth pick (Sailor's Eyes by Joel Plaskett) here.

Il Sung Na

I am completely in love with the quirky characters and use of mixed media in the beautiful illustrations of Il Sung Na.

My sister knows how to dream big....

"And now I have to wrap my lunch in
plastic wrap like a weird clumpy sack."


A quote from my sister the other morning. Thought it deserved a drawing.
