Audiobook
This was not a typical book choice for me, but I really enjoyed the Atlantic Canada-ness of it all. This coming of age story takes place in the 1960s, in New Brunswick. The story is told by a young girl in a small town that is about to be underwater - a calculated consequence of building the Mactaquac Dam. I enjoyed the audio, as the narrator's distinctly Maritime voice provided an extra bit of authenticity.
@TheLudicReader ... Well, it wasn't easy to wait until my birthday, but boy, am I glad I did! I can't thank you enough for the lovely presents all representing your Canadian home. I am loving the Cole tea (I even made it into iced tea, and it was FABULOUS!), I already ate too many maple candies (like Ross in Friends), and the book looks very intriguing! ⬇️
Finishing out the bottom which was a present from @TheLudicReader last Christmas exchange and starting a favorite author on top. Plus, oh my golly holly, the beer is a sweet potato ale and it is yummy.

Thank you, so much @TheLudicReader! Everything is so perfect and local, which is awesome. And the candy? I cannot believe that you got me candy, I am such a huge candy freakazoid. I've already tried it and it's amazing. The tea is brewing as I type this and I've already read the first several pages of the book. You did so super amazing, thank you so much!
