This is a list of books that I recommend to my readers on World-Weary. These books cover social issues and important topics about human rights.

A selection of my favourite books and authors. These are the reads I turn to when I need to immerse myself in another world for a while!

I picked up my love of cooking from my grandparents, one on either side of the family. My mother's mother always had the ingredients on hand for a cake or a fresh batch of dinner rolls, and it didn't take much to convince her to bust them out. My father's father, on the other hand, was a man who lived to feed his community. He grew up during the Depression, and nothing gave him more joy than laying out a giant table of food and sitting back to watch his loved ones eat. I learned the joy of good food from both of them.

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I have an addiction to caffeine. I used to work as a barista, and I have a not-at-all-hidden adoration for coffee and tea. I'm a pumpkin spice kind of gal, and I'm not at all ashamed!

I'm not much of an alcohol drinker. My partner and I are teetotals for the most part, although we don't abstain completely. We both enjoy the occasional cocktail or glass of wine- especially mead, which we both enjoy. I don't drink very much alcohol, but I do enjoy the process of brewing my own. And of course, if I'm going to drink, I'm going to reach for some familiar favorites!

The word hygge means coziness. The hygge lifestyle is all about comfort; warm intimate spaces, luxurious soft blankets and the fluffiest socks you can find. Think candles, hot tea, and gentle dim light. Think hot spiced apple cider in a crockpot while a winter storm rages outside. This list is your starter kit for building a hygge sanctuary in your own home.

When you get into the business of writing, especially as a freelancer, there are a lot of platforms and tools available for you to choose from. Here is a simple list of the ones that I personally use, and my reasons why. These have allowed me to build a decently successful business without breaking the bank.

Planning a trip to Canada at some point in the future? If you're going to travel, I beg of you- visit the Maritime provinces of Atlantic Canada. I'm a Maritimer born and raised, and I've spent my life romping these shorelines, mountains and forests like a wild thing. There is nothing like it, and I humbly suggest that you partake of the experience for yourself!

I am a woman of ten thousand hobbies. I can, and will, learn a new craft in a matter of days if I set my mind to it- especially if it has to do with knitting, weaving, spinning, or any other yarn craft out there. I have an obsession with being able to make things for myself, and I collect yarn the way people collect stamps!
