kwmg40 I'm not sure if, like @BarkingMadRead, I'd call this my favourite book of all time (though I can certainly appreciate readers making that argument) but it's definitely my favourite of the Stephen King books I've read. I'm looking forward to the reread. 1d

We‘re a little halfway through the month, so time to check in for this month‘s #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead . A few have bailed, and others are enjoying it. Any thoughts to share with the group?

Discussion will be posted on the 28th, but feel free to respond whenever you can…this one is a chunkster!

As a reminder, our March title is I Am Livia by Phyllis T Smith. Official reminder will be posted soon!

Karisa Just finished Villette this morning. Twisty and turny—I liked it! That ending though… 🤐 1w
mcctrish I was listening to it on audio and I ran out of time to listen and the library clawed it back so I‘m out. Some day I will read it in print 1w
Deblovestoread I got through the first third and then set it aside. Not sure if I‘ll pick it back up. (edited) 1w

AnishaInkspill I remember when I read this how slow it was but what kept me reading was that there was it felt very different, and I've been wanting to read this again to understand this more. 1w
Librarybelle That‘s a great perspective, @AnishaInkspill . I may keep that in mind as I read through it…what compels the reader to continue? 1w
julieclair I will circle back to the discussion whenever I finish. May be months from now at the rate things are going…🤪😂 4d

Mehso-so

Did a #buddyread with my bestie for this one. We haven‘t discussed it in its entirety yet but I‘m kinda disappointed how this turned out. We‘d read Fourth Wing and weren‘t fans, but thought this might be better. I liked most of the characters much better, but the general plot and narrative was lacking so much depth. I think the ideas were mostly great but the author didn‘t go deep enough. Didn‘t feel much suspense/drama

TheDaysGoBy I‘m not a huge fantasy reader but I‘ve been pretty disappointed with much of what I‘ve read so far 2w

The Girls | Lori Lansens

repost for @Jess861:

Excited to announce that our second pick for the #OhCanada Book Club will be The Girls by Lori Lansens - a fictional book about conjoined twins. I flipped a coin because the vote was tied. This book club will run every two months, so this will be the March/April book. Excited to continue the Canadian book journey!

All are welcome to join! Let me know if you want to be added to the tag list!

Pickpick

Wow. The first pick for the #OhCanada #BuddyRead was intense. I loved this story of an Ojibway boy falling in love with hockey, but that's only part of the book. Saul's story is heartbreaking and moving. I can only imagine the continued lasting effects of the so-called "residential schools."

DogMomIrene The writing was so beautiful! I cried at the end. What a freaking journey to even get to the tip of healing. 2w
lauraisntwilder @DogMomIrene I cried, too! It was such a good book. 2w
Jess861 Definitely a journey and an intense book! Such an important part of Canadian history. Glad you enjoyed it! 2d
