Hello everyone! I have been gone for quite a while. I’m so sorry that I haven’t posted on here. I won’t make excuses on why I have been gone and bore you with some story about my life, and how I’m so busy that I just never have the time to post anything. That would be a total lie. Truth is, I’ve just been lazy. I’ve been posting way more on Instagram….
I just find that its easier for me to take pictures, write a short caption, and be done. But I’ve kinda been missing Tumblr. So I’m going to hopefully be posting more. We shall see how often that is…
But if you want to, you can check out my Instagram ( onceuponachapterr ) where I try and post everyday, if not, every other day.
Anyway, if you’ve ben following me since my absence, thank-you. I don’t deserve it and I will try and make it up to you all.
Happy Reading!!
Review of Jade Chang’s The Wangs Vs. The World
10 Word Review: Wealthy family loses everything during the financial crisis, hilarity ensues!
Spoiler Free Review: I really enjoyed this book! It was funny and touching, though it does take a bit to warm up to some of the characters! I think it’s also a fantastic representation of how the U.S. got into the financial crisis, and includes one of the best explanations I’ve seen yet. It’s simple, to the point, and well illustrated!
I thought that this was an interesting twist on the classic immigrant story. The ending was completely fitting and I did grow to really care for the characters. I’d definitely recommend it!
Review of Brene Brown’s Daring Greatly -
10 Word Review: Analysis of how vulnerability and shame affect our daily lives.
Spoiler Free Review: I’ve had a bunch of people recommend this book to me, and I am so glad that I’ve finally read it! It made me think about vulnerability and shame in a completely different way. It really is remarkable how those two things truly do affect my everyday life. It also made me come to several realizations about myself and how I want to live my life. I’m sure this book means something different to everyone who reads it, so I’ll just say that you should definitely give it a chance!

Review of Lisa Taddeo’s Three Women
10 Word Review: Insightful glimpse into the sex lives of three different women.
Spoiler Free Review: I read this book as part of a book club that I’m in, and it’s one I probably never would have picked up on my own, but I’m glad I did! It really led to some fascinating and deep conversations with some wonderful women.
While the book’s central focus is around the sex lives of three women, it’s really about what it means and looks like to be a woman in today’s society. The challenges that are faced and how these women are overcoming them or not overcoming them in some cases. It does feel a little intrusive to get such an intimate and raw portrait of their lives, but that’s what makes the book so interesting and I think important. These women who participated in this book were able to be so open and vulnerable with their story, and I found that to be extremely brave! I’d definitely recommend reading this one in a group and you won’t be disappointed!
Current Read is Daring Greatly by Brene Brown! So many people have recommended this book, and I’m excited to finally read it!

Happy Friday, Bookworms! Here’s what the team at Simon & Schuster Canada is reading.
Andrea, Digital Marketing Associate: I’m currently re-reading Kim Harrison’s The Drafter before I dig into the second book in the series, The Operator. I love any story line that involves time travel, and Peri Reed is the epitome of strong kick-ass female protagonist that readers all love and need. I’m falling in love with these characters all over again and am picking up on details I missed the first time around. Bonus: the prequel novella Sideswiped is included in the mass market paperback (which I had previously not read).
Siobhan, Editorial: I’ve stepped beyond my normal reading horizon and have been reading Jasper Forde’s dystopian novel, Shades of Grey—and no, it’s nothing like Fifty Shades ofGrey. It’s a fun and highly weird tale set in a futuristic world where all aspects of society are ruled by the colours you can and cannot see. I’ve only just dipped in, but it’s been a treat so far!
Jordyn, Sales Operations Assistant: I just finished The Hating Game, by Sally Thorne, which is a steamy romance novel featuring two coworkers who totally hate each other. It’s hard to find a good love/hate relationship book because the transition from hating to dating can be easily unbelievable. This book, however, totally nails it! I love the intensity between Lucy and Josh, and while the sexy stuff is slow-burning, there are quite a few lines in there that make you pause and say “daaaaamn”. I’m not going to lie; I had to take a water break at a couple points. Highly recommend!
