living my best life, experiencing the best books
The world is definitely seeming darker lately, as the sun isn't rising until I am getting to work and the temperature is already in the negatives (which is very strange for Vancouver). It is really getting to the time of year where I want to cuddle up and read with some tea or hot chocolate …

I have never been much for blog challenges, but I have been seeing this one come up every Tuesday for a while now in some of my favourite book blogs so I figured I would give it a shot. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved …
