Q: If you could have an endless supply of food, what would it be?

Napoli has good pizza, but Canada, has great poutine.

If you are ever in Montreal, I suggest you make a pit stop at La Banquise. They have tons of poutine recipes -- a mixture of french fries, gravy sauce and melted cheese -- with pretty much any smoked meat or vegetable you can think off. I asked for sour cream and Swiss cheese on mine.

Review: Return to Kaitlin

How far would you go to earn some fast cash?

Tyler's been having a rough year. Not only did his girlfriend dump him, but now, he is being removed from school due to his low grades. Unable to afford to retake most of his classes, Tyler sees no other solution than to move to Alberta for some quick cash. Unfortunately, Ty will not only need to be confronted with the importance of saving for rainy days and the actual price of food and housing -- he will also need to learn to defend himself. Even if it means standing up against his own addictions.

A survey says that 79% of teens drink in Alberta. Which is crazy considering that the city's population is not that high compared to the rest of Canada. It hurt seeing Tyler drink himself to sleep, and get into several pointless fights. Some life lessons are learned the hard way, and Tyler needed a big revelation in order to grown up and become more disciplined.

Lots of research and information about the Northern job positions and lifestyle.

Review: An Ember in the Ashes

Nobody knows what lies behind a person's mask

Elias might be a candidate for the future Emperor, but deep down, he wants nothing more than to desert the empire. He's tired of seeing how slaves and Scholars are treated, and to be force to kill his own friends as a work task. Heck, he wouldn't even mind getting away from his best friend Helene, who has developed a crush for him over the years. 

Slaves don't have it much easier though. Laia, was sent to work for a commandant as a spy. And must endure daily torture and humiliation. 

Told in dual point-of-views, An Ember in the Ashes, reveals a hidden spy and a hidden freedom fighter who must keep their true personalities a secret in order to survive. Tahir kept the reader waiting for a while before these two characters could meet, adding some strange tension by doing so. Add a countdown, several life's on the line, and a love quadrangle -- and you wind up with crazy cliffhangers.

Looking forward to the sequel.

Q: If you could have 3 wishes granted, what would they be?

Can I wish for a person?

Just a random thought. Honestly, my number one wish would be to travel more often. I recently came back from a trip to Florida and loved the weather, and sightseeing. I would also ask for immortality (not a vampire kind of thing -- but perfect health) and unlimited funds in the bank account since, after all, I would be living forever.

Review: All the Bright Places

Based on a true story

Violet lost her sister in a car crash, and without giving it much thought, went up a tower to kill herself. But Finch saw her. He saved her. Back at school, he got close to her and helped her get through her fears of entering a car and accepting a loss. The problem is Finch wasn't on that tower to admire the view. He was about to jump too. 

All the Bright Places is told in a dual point-of-view (sometimes repeating Violet's twice, which was a little confusing), and with a count down difficult to understand. Aside from that, we get a bittersweet story about abuse, suicide, bullying and the woes of living with bipolar disorder. Both characters seemed like a perfect match from the start, but sadly, their depression required outside help. 

Offers inspirational insight on valuing the little things in life that makes us feel lovely.
