Reading Week

empty park benches in sunny weather

In the spirit of university students taking a Reading Week this week, I'll be taking a short break from blogging and posting content. Not only do I have my own reading to do for work, I also want to catch up on some ARCs and books that have patiently been waiting for me.

Here's a fun fact I learnt when I looked into Reading Week a bit more:

"For post-secondary institutions in anglophone Canada, it is common to have "reading week" or "mid-term break" during the third week of February, coinciding with Family Day." Source: Revision Week

I'm happy that I can have my own Reading Week! I'd love to do this more often, although it might lose its meaning if I turned every week into one 😂

Review: Breath of the Almighty

I've had the pleasure of revisiting my love of poetry through reading poignant and touching collections of Christian poetry that I've been introduced to on Instagram. I'm grateful that Breath of the Almighty by Shay McNally came at just the right time for me, tugging on my heart and my mind through verses that point back to God in every breath and poem. Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Each poem is rooted in Scripture and lived-in faith, and grounds lofty theology to an eve...

Friday Reads

Happy Friday! I hadn't realized that both my books this week were Christmas-themed until I put this list together 😄 I'm ready for the season although I still haven't put up any decorations. Once the busyness subsides, I hope to put on some Christmas music and enjoy putting up the tree. These books will surely complement that occasion! 📘 Christian fiction: The Christmas Promise by Gabrielle Meyer 📗 Non-fiction: Celebrating A Christ-Centered Christmas: Seven Traditions to Lead Us Closer to the Savior by Emily Belle Freeman (Update: For full disclosure, I had no idea that this was an LDS-authored book, which means that it is my mistake for not having done more research before choosing to read it.)

Review: The Biblio Diet

Over the years, I've had the joy of reading many books on health and nutrition, partly a product of some studies I've done on it and also due to personal interest. As a result, I'm always intrigued when there is a Christian perspective on this subject.

Many thanks to Worthy Books for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
