sarahbarnes I‘ve just recently added Gallant to my list! 1mo
merelybookish @sarahbarnes I've never read her and it seems like I should have by now! 1mo
sarahbarnes Same! 1mo
JuniperWilde Absolutely! 🇨🇦✊🏻🇨🇦 1mo
JuniperWilde It‘s amazing tho. I went to the bookstore last week and by my guess 90% of the books are by US authors. That‘s got to change. 1mo
JuniperWilde I‘m all for great books by authors from anywhere. And let‘s have more Cdn writers on our bookshelves. Do you have a too five Cdn books you‘ve read recently? 1mo
merelybookish @JuniperWilde I don't read that much Canadian and I'd like to change that. The last CDN book I read was Held by Anne Michaels which I didn't like. But I'd recommend the tagged book. Also recommend following @lindy if you don't already as she reads and reviews a lot of Canlit 1mo
Lindy @JuniperWilde @merelybookish Gallant‘s Paris Stories are fab. I see Nancy Huston and Tanya Tagaq on Margot‘s stack too. 👍 Here‘s a few more Canadian authors I enjoy: Helen Humphreys, Emma Donoghue, Marian Toews, Vivek Shraya, Kim Thuy and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson. 1mo
merelybookish @Lindy Thanks! Some new ones to add to my list. 1mo

Woo hoo thank you @RowReads1 !! These are great, two very different story collections and both look very appealing! I have not read either of them. Can‘t wait to dig in 😊 The wrapping paper is exquisite, and the coconut caramel chocolate will be delicious, yum!

Happy birthday to me 🎈Thank you everyone for participating! I know some of you are still waiting - everyone has been sent something, and I‘m hoping several will arrive today 🤞🏻

erzascarletbookgasm Oh, you did mention before today‘s your birthday! Happy birthday! 🎊 Thanks again for organising the swap, good fun! 7y
