The Glowing Life of Leeann Wu by Mindy Hung

A Contemporary Canadian Gothic(ish)

The Glowing Life of Leeann Wu by Mindy Hung

October 17, 2025 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Initially, I read The Glowing Life of Leeann Wu back in May (?), but as is wont to happen in 2025, my brain erased all memory of everything I had read. So I started again a few months later and it was like revisiting a friend I hadn’t seen in forever. At first I was a bit anxious because I had positive feelings, but no memory.

Also, she makes a lot of sandwiches for the beach days, because […]

What Fresh Hell is This?: Perimenopause, Menopause, Other Indignities, and You by Heather Corinna

May 31, 2021 by faintingviolet 1 Comment

I received What Fresh Hell is This? as an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. It publishes June 1, 2021.  What Fresh Hell is This? Perimenopause, Menopause, Other Indignities, and You came to my attention following emmalita’s positive review of it earlier this month.
