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"

Book Tour: Bring Me Back by Karen Booth

I’m Karen, a Midwestern girl transplanted in the South, raised on 80s music, Judy Blume, and the films of John Hughes. An early preoccupation with Rock ‘n’ Roll led me to spend my twenties working my way from intern to executive in the music industry. Much of my writing revolves around the world of backstage passes and band dynamics. My first full-length novel, “Bring Me Back”, is a story I had in my head for nearly eight years before my fingers hit the keyboard. Sleeping and eating quickly became a luxury, a plan I have since dubbed the Writer’s Diet. I channeled teenage memories of plastering my walls with posters to weave the tale of music journalist, Claire Abby, and the dreamy British rock-star crush of her youth, Christopher Penman. “Bring Me Back” is a work of women’s fiction, published by Turquoise Morning Press. When I’m not creating fictional musicians, I’m listening to everything from old-school Cheap Trick to Duran Duran to Superchunk with my kids, honing my Southern...
