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"

Welcome to Stitch Read Cook's weekly feature!! A Day in the Life of..... This is where us bloggers & fans get a glimpse inside the days of our favorite authors! -------------------- A native Northwesterner with the pale skin to prove it, Stefanie Sloane credits her parents’ eclectic reading habits—not to mention their decision to live in the middle of nowhere—for her love of books. A childhood spent lost in the pages of countless novels led Stefanie to college, where she majored in English.
