pickVery interesting fiction about the history of Canada and the prairies specifically in the early 20th century. Memory and loss and longing are explored in a very subtle way

pick5⭐️ Wagamese so effectively captures the heart wrenching destructive trauma of the Indian boarding school policy.
I knew I was going to like this because I enjoyed Medicine Walk. Deft writer! Lyrical and sensitive despite the subject matter.

I've read 24. Being a theatre major definitely helped there, lots of plays listed. And presently surprised by the amount of Canadian content.
Three of my all time favourites were on the list:
The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath
Alias Grace - Margaret Atwood
The Diviners - Margaret Laurence
Thanks @dabbe for another fun #ThreeListThursday
pickPost apocalyptic. A remote northern indigenous community slowly comes to the realization that the world they know has changed forever. A slow burn, but never felt like it was dragging. I definitely guessed what was going to happen in the end, but it was an enjoyable read, and felt very realistic.
pickA series of short stories that are immersive, poignant and entice the reader to reflect and inspect the trappings of relationships and decisions we do (or don‘t) make that impact relationships.
pickAnother fantastic read from Thomas King! Love this series. It‘s fascinating to me how Thumps is such a careful and deliberate person, yet the mystery is fast-paced and moves in leaps and bounds. Dragged reluctantly into another murder, Thumps is faced with ghosts from his past. It‘s a great mystery, with plenty of questions in the air, and just enough going on to keep you guessing without being frustrating. I‘ll keep on with Thumps for sure.
pickA great fire, a man who wandered for years haunted by the fire and his lost loves, and a photographer trying to find s ghost but, instead, finding society‘s refugees. This was a plotless novel with a great deal of philosophizing on aging and death.
