in the company of solitude
Hello, bookworms; I have noticed that I am often more drawn to books that highlight or present solitude as a subtle theme in the books I read. Of course, this isn’t the case for all my reads, nor is it always the main focus, but after reflecting on a few recent books, I realized it’s Continue reading

the things i fear ⋆
Hello, Bookworms. How can we be at peace? At peace with ourselves, with others, and with the world? Do we all struggle with the same ideas, introspections, and anxieties on different planes? Or are we all vastly distinct, only pretending to maintain a comparable exterior? I want to feel both foreign yet equal to the Continue reading

My obsession with the library
Hello Bookworms, what is the importance of a library? Well, what is the importance of a sanctuary, a home, or a safe space? These could easily be interchanged with the first, as they pose the same question to me. I cannot remember when I was not elated to visit the library. As a child, my Continue reading

just a girl in copenhagen
Hello bookworms, I am pleased to announce that it’s March—and nearing the end of March. Last August, I went on a semester abroad to Copenhagen, returning to my home university this January. As soon as I stepped foot there, I knew I had made the right decision. If I’m being brutally candid, I am not Continue reading

I had talked in a previous post about how much reading meant to me, where I touched on the particular benefits (I Continue reading

winter means pillows of comfort
Hello, bookworms; this was originally meant to be a post about November. It then turned into December, and now it’s about winter. The process of giving myself more time is a great one. These past few months have flown by. They always do, and so for that, I am not surprised. It’s comforting to be Continue reading

word of the day – jolabokaflod
Hello, bookworms; I’m almost certain this is a new word for many of you. It certainly was for me. And as someone who loves “collecting” words, if you can even call it that, this was a delightful discovery. I do enjoy collecting various things, and I don’t see why words cannot fall under this category. Continue reading

In Praise Of Sociology with dr. tina fetner
Hello Bookworms; in defiance of my usual literary content, today’s post is in conversation with one of my favourite professors. Albeit an author herself, Dr. Tina Fetner is the President of the Canadian Sociological Association and an associate professor at McMaster University. In my first year, long before I settled on pursuing a sociology minor, Continue reading

spending fall with Søren Kierkegaard
Hello bookworms, one thing about studying abroad, to warn you all, is that you will miss your mother. This may seem glaringly evident; however, past Erin, silly old me, silly August Erin…quite overestimated her abilities. The only upside I can recount to being away from my lovely mom is that she cannot stop me from Continue reading

this book changed my life…now what?
Hello bookworms, do you ever get that sentiment during a book where you just know it’ll make an impact? You don’t know how, or why exactly, and how you will change, but the book is so particular, perhaps only unique to you, making it even more perfect. How does one move on? As a reader, Continue reading
