pickThis book is a tough read in many places, especially as much as you come to care about its characters. However, it is more than worth it. I love so many things about it and will gladly recommend it to others!

pickFinally started this series and it was really good! @CarolynM @TrishB I think it was you two who put this on my radar years ago! I do love a detective novel with interesting character work - and the setting and community was warm and friendly.
This isnt a photo of Three Pines of course - my local beach walk on the other side of the world 😁

Anne of Green Gables is also part of @tbrgirlies_bookclub Sept BOTM. I've already listened to Rachel Mcadams narration of this classic 3 years ago so I opted to read the graphic novel instead adapted by Mariah Marsden and illustrated by Brenna Thummler. More scope for my imagination!
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Anne With An E is a MUST watch! 📺🍿

My new (old?) definition of a comfort read: a book which “may bring some passing amusement...or some brief respite when the sadness of the heart or the sufferings of the body forbid the perusal of worthier things.“
pickShort stories from a favourite Canadian author. This is a good collection. Michael Crummey does interesting things with character.🇨🇦
pickOn October 19, 1984, a small commuter plane crashed in northern Alberta, killing 6. Four men survived. This tells the story of the crash and how it happened, their experiences before rescue, the aftermath, then follows the men for over 20 years. It‘s terrific narrative nonfiction and an excellent read.

pickEnjoyed this Canadian middle grade timeslip novel from the 1980s.
After her grandmother dies, twice-orphaned Rose is sent to live with her aunt's big family in a ramshackle farmhouse on Lake Ontario. She is miserable until she finds a root cellar and travels back to the days of the US Civil War. What follows is an adventure for Rose that helps her discover where she belongs.
The book earned honours back in the day and I can see why.
