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"

Blog Tour: Romancing the Countess by Ashley March

After their deaths, Sebastian is determined to avoid a scandal for the sake of his son. But his best friend's widow is just as determined to cast her mourning veil aside by hosting a party that will surely destroy both their reputations and expose all of his carefully kept secrets... Leah George has carried the painful knowledge of her husband's affair for almost a year. All she wants now is to enjoy her independence and make a new life for herself-even if that means being ostracized by the Society whose rules she was raised to obey. Now that the rumors are flying, there's only one thing left for Sebastian to do: silence the scandal by enticing the improper widow into becoming a proper wife.
