About Me



I'm Aislynn, the blogger behind "The Geekish Reader"  I'm a 40 something book lover!  By day I'm a mild mannered house designer, wife and Mom, by night I'm a romance reader and family historian.


My "Handy Hubby" and I live in a small Northern Ontario town, we share our small home with our 2 crazy lovable dogs!


About the Blog:


December 2009 I started writing a craft blog called "Knit Purl Stitch" which revolved around my love of crafts!  As the blog evolved over the years the name changed to "Knit Purl Stitch Read Cook" to incorporate my other two passions - food and books!  Eventually the name was downsized to the name to "Stitch Read Cook".  
"Stitch Read Cook" was retired at the end of 2014 as I was pregnant with our first kiddo (Mr W born 2015) and then a second (Miss Miss born 2017) - which has kept me on my toes!
Now in 2023, I've ventured back into the bookish world as "The Geekish Reader"

Medusa A Love Story By Sasha Summers Blurb: It's said love can change a person. Medusa wasn't always a monster... Medusa is ruled by duty, to her Titan father and the Goddess Athena. She's no room for the tenderness her warrior guard, Ariston, stirs. When Olympus frees her from service, her heart leads her into the arms of the guard she loves... and curses her as the creature with serpent locks.

But death, curses, nor the wrath of the Gods will keep him from returning to her. Poseidon will use Greece's war to get what he wants: Medusa. He does not care that she belongs to another. He does not care that she will be damned. He is a God, an Olympian, and she will be his. "This tragic and beautiful retelling of one of the world's oldest stories tackles the eternal battle between ...
