The Way Home | Elizabeth Brewster
post image

I read a lot of poetry in August for #thesealeychallenge. I loved many volumes but highlighting this one by Canadian poet Elizabeth Brewster. It was my "least shelved book" in my Goodreads wrap-up and so want to show it some love. I have a soft spot for Brewster and her work as she grew up in the same small town as my mother.

My pick for July is this excellent story about the messiness of young adulthood. It was a perfect summer read!

My pick for March, a collection of linked stories by my all-time favourite writer. Called The Beggar Maid outside of Canada.

BIRTHDAY PARTY. | LAURENT. MAUVIGNIER
post image

My pick for February (and one of my top books of 2023) is Laurent Mauvignier's The Birthday Party. I listened to it on the indie audio platform Spiracle. And it was FABULOUS. It's a master class in building suspense.
