So I wanted to take a minute to tell you all about something that is completely unrelated to books, except in that it is what has taken me away from reading for the past few weeks. This past Thursday my best friend and I hosted a fundraiser for our local humane society. The Starlight Soiree was a charity gala for a really wonderful organization (The Mississauga Humane Society) which is run completely by volunteers and saves about 500 pets lives every year.

We had over 130 guests, some amazing prizes and a lot of fun. We planned the whole thing ourselves in just a few months and were really blown away by how enthusiastically the community came together to help. It was definitely exhausting to get the whole thing from concept to completion but it’s something I’m really proud of so I just had to share. I was actually going to write about it yesterday but I ended up sleeping A LOT, as I was a litttllleee over tired.

Anyways, we have some great stuff coming up… Titanic Week starts tomorrow as I have been a big Titanic buff for a really long time and have read some really great books this year that have come out to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking. After that we have Self-Pub week because I believe self published books are a pretty fantastic thing and that there are some great titles out there worth sharing.
