What better way to fuel up your February ambition than with a morning cup of hot chocolate? The YYC Hot Chocolate Festival presented by Meals on Wheels kicked off this week and my beverage of choice today is Bridgeland Market’s Peppered Petals & Cocoa featuring cardamom and rose water with pink peppercorn sprinkles.

I’m not sure why I thought I could pull off five books in the shortest month of the year, but there you have it. My book club has chosen Antifragile for our March book and Taleb’s authorial voice is already proving to be controversial (and seemingly Trumpist).

I’ve got a couple of short stories in the fire for middle of the month competitions, so do not be surprised if some of these books show up again on the reading list for March.
