Repost for @Jess861

I thought we could explore Genevieve Graham as an author for the next #OhCanada read. She has written a number of books with many of them being Canadian historical fiction set around war times. She also has a new book coming out in April 2025. Please vote if you'd like. All are welcome to join this low key read.

I thought we could explore Genevieve Graham as an author for the next #OhCanada read. She has written a number of books with many of them being Canadian historical fiction set around war times. She went to school to be a musician and only started writing books at the age of 40! She also has a new book coming out in April 2025. Please vote if you'd like to and if it is a tie I will flip a coin. All are welcome to join this low key read.

Ruthiella Like Mary Lawson, another Canadian writer who started publishing in middle age. I‘m fine with either title! 12h

Just wanted to put this out to those who are participating (or thinking of) - is there a particular genre you'd like to read next and if you like voting on the next pick or would rather I just pick one book? I'm happy to go any way - want to pick books that people are interested in reading! I was thinking another historical fiction for the next read and then maybe something lighter in the summer. Always love hearing from you all 😊!

kwmg40 I don‘t have any particular preferences and will be happy with whatever is chosen. Being Canadian myself, I‘ve read a lot of Canadian books but I don‘t mind rereading I book I‘ve enjoyed before if one is selected. 6d
Jess861 @kwmg40 Awesome - thank you so much for the feedback 😊!! (edited) 6d
lauraisntwilder I don't know enough about Canadian literature, really, so I'm happy to go along with the group. 6d
Tamra Following too! 😁 6d
CarolynM I'm happy to read whatever you choose. I joined this group because I want to explore Canadian literature beyond the already internationally known authors, so I've been very happy with your first two choices. 6d
Ruthiella Like @CarolynM I‘m here for the discovery! If you want to mix it up with genre, it‘d be fine with me. I want to expand my knowledge of CanLit. 6d
Teresereading I'm interested 6d
Blueberry I'm open to all but nonfiction. 5d
Kitta I like having a few to vote on but also happy with whatever you choose! 5d
Jess861 @Blueberry Awesome, I had no plans for non fiction for this group so that works 🙂 5d
Jess861 @Kitta Perfect - I'll keep the voting going then. I'll probably post soon for May/June read 5d
JuniperWilde I‘m open to any genre. Including non-fiction. I have Suzanne by Anais Barbeau-Lavalette on my list. Translated from French. 4d

I hope everyone who has had a chance to start is enjoying Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese!
For our next read, I thought we could pick from two Lori Lansens books. I feel she is a less known Canadian author. These are two of my favourite books by her. Please feel free to look up each book and vote (if you want) on the one you'd like to read.

I hope everyone who has had a chance to start is enjoying Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese! Just over a month to go and I will post a couple of discussion points on the book.

Jess861 @LeahBergen I know...such a neat concept for a book. 2mo

The Oh Canada book club officially kicks off tomorrow with Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese. We will select a book to read every two months and I will post a small discussion at the end of each book for those who wish to participate. I'll probably post a vote for the next book near the end of January. This is about as low key as it gets and everyone is welcome!

I look forward to discovering and exploring Canadian authors and books with you all!

Tamra 👏🏾👏🏾 Looking forward to it. 3mo
Kitta Just got it from the library! 3mo
