When does the mud wrestling begin? #PresidentialDebate


It’s a crime (see what I did there) that I’ve never read @linwood_barclay before. #TheLieMaker was great. I actually cared about the main character; too often thrillers lack in that department. Looking forward to the next one

The Book of Eve by Constance Beresford-Howe, from 1973, is a masterpiece w a simple premise: an older woman suddenly leaves her husband. It goes Dostoevsky deep; it’s funny, poignant; just incredible. Those sentences! I’ve dogeared the hell out of my copy. #booktwitter


Well, it’s about that time again. Going in for my 19th-ish viewing of Withnail & I. Always get excited to see Richard E. Grant’s manic eyes & Uncle Monty of course. youtu.be/5YpUtAYfUGk

Check out this rad pad I wrote about. Such a nice departure from all white everything #interiordesign #TorontoRealEstate
