Good afternoon! It’s that time of the month again, except February is a special one...it’s been officially one year since I began the Afternoon Tea series! *inserts fanfare and cheers and confettis* Reading back from February a year ago, I can’t believe how so many things changed. Also, I really want to go back in… Continue reading February Afternoon Tea w/ SJ + The Liebster Award
Hi guys! Surprise! I’m not SJ. I’m Samantha (or Sam, up to you), and I blog at Bookshire, where I talk about books, from reviews and analyses of habits of the reading and writing world, to digressing into flash fiction and raving about my favorite books (and occasionally movies). I’m so grateful that SJ suggested… Continue reading 12 Classic Loves Collab with Samantha
Hullo, world! It’s actually snowing in Vancouver today, which is super exciting. Snowcouver trumps Raincouver! (I know, spoken like someone from Edmonton where it’s -30°C and sunny.) I’m thinking I’ll take a short walk in the snow with my sister for an early Valentine girl’s date...It’s a White Valentine! (I know, now I’m ceasing to… Continue reading Create a Writing Life That (Actually) Works for You
Hullo, world! It’s my lucky day! (I know, when I’m happy, I go off into weird Jack Sparrow tandems.) Raincouver has taken a break, and the last three days have been sunny despite winter still raging, and I feel a hint of spring in the air… “And when he shakes his mane, we shall have… Continue reading AH: 3 Habits to Write What You Love
Good afternoon! It’s that time of the month already where I sweep off a shelf of tea boxes and hunt my imaginary pantry for confectioneries and sit down with you...It’s January Afternoon Tea with SJ! *inserts cheers and hurrahs* I think 2021 is starting off pretty well, but first off, let’s set the scene for… Continue reading January Afternoon Tea + Meet my MC
Hullo, world! I’m so excited today (again) because Raincouver has been sunny for two days in a row in winter!! *shrieks A#5* Also, I rediscovered my love for Bach’s Brandenburg concerto 3 and have been swapping the three viola parts with my siblings, which is immensely fun even if you’re missing the cellos and the… Continue reading 7 + 1 Favourite Superpowered Books + Movies
Hullo, world! I am so excited about today’s post! Some of you may already know, but it’s been weighing heavily on my heart for some time now about a certain topic that is close to my heart...the art of reading. And not just reading, but reading ethics, specifically. I know, I sound kind of bland… Continue reading Rethinking Reading Ethics
Hullo, world! It’s officially my first post on SJ Barnard, 2021! (Of course, we did that last week, but I mean this is my first non-new year or end-of-the-year post. I know, confusing.) I’ve been loosely asking around what sort of posts would be interesting, and a lot of people responded to Lifestyle. I myself… Continue reading A Day in a Gap-Year Student Writer’s Life
Happy New Year! (Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu!) I can hardly believe that 2020, with all of its quirks and whirlwinds, is past us. And not to put off 2021, but I think 2020 will be that year we’ll keep talking about when we’re old and senile…(“Yes, sonny, you wouldn’t remember what a year we had in… Continue reading AH: Dreams, Goals + Plans for 2021
Good afternoon to you! We are back for our monthly Afternoon tea series, of which I am extremely excited about. It’s hard to believe that I only started this series in February this year. Since then, so many things have changed it’s frankly hard to say what changed how. Today, we’ll have a classic tea… Continue reading December Afternoon Tea with SJ: 2020 Reflection
