The Save Saskatchewan Library Movement Was A Success!

Happy Wednesday Guys!

I hope you're all having a great week so far.

Mine has honestly been really long already, but it's been an amazing week nonetheless.

If you remember me telling you all in an earlier blog post (here)

The Saskatchewan government had cut major funding to the whole provincial library system, and as a result library programs all over were being forced to shut down, and certain rural libraries were in danger of having to do the same thing.

Petitions and Protests were called to help show our premiere just what our local libraries mean to us here in Saskatchewan, and guys I can't even begin to express my excitement that it worked!!

The Finance Minister has admitted that they made a mistake, and the library budget has been reinstated!

On top of being ecstatic that the library will be here for future generations to love the same way that I have for so many years, it always gives me hope that there's still a good number of people in my province that understand the importance of reading, and availability of free books for all.

I couldn't wait to share this exciting news with you guys, but I will definitely be back on Friday with an actual review since it's been a couple of weeks since I last posted one.


Thanks so much for reading guys! 


And I'll see you all next time. :)

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since. If you'd like to check out that review, you can do so using the link below: Bless Your Heart Rae Sutton Otherwise, keep on reading down below for today's full review. De...

First Line Friday: The Joy of Falling

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books. This week, Lindsay Harrel's newest book released, and I loved it when I had the chance to read and review it. I'm excited to feature it for this week's First Line Friday post which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books. The Joy of Falling by Lindsay Harrel: About The Book: Eva and Angela must learn to live again. One step at a time. It has been fifteen months since Eva and Angela lost their thrill-seeking husbands in a scuba diving accident.

First Line Friday: All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you're looking forward to the weekend. Today I'm excited to once again be linking up with Hoarding Books for First Line Friday. First Line Friday is one of my favorite weekly memes, and it simply consists of sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading. I've had a lot of extra reading time on my hands lately because of all the social distancing, and as such, I've been able to read a lot of the titles that have been sitting on my shelves for quite some time. Today's book is one of such titles, and I'm happy that I finally found the time to get to it as I'm really enjoying it so far. All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes by Betsy St. Amant: About the Book: Kat inspected rows of the same old cupcakes. They seemed to blink back at her, as if they knew she was capable of so much more. Kat Varland has had enough of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. At twenty-six years old...
