Hilarious and heartbreaking. Erin Bow keeps the suspense going — a late reveal of the traumatic thing that‘s happened to 12-year-old Simon, which necessitated a move to a town without internet — and she keeps the laughs rolling too: a church blessing of the animals gone awry, a murderous peacock, a death metal squirrel cult, etc. This middle grade novel has garnered numerous awards & accolades; now I‘m adding mine. It‘s fantastic. #CanadianAuthor

I stopped in at Toys R Us today and was delighted to find they‘ve expanded their books selection to include lots of material for older teenagers and adults! Some of the genre divisions don‘t make sense (for example, there‘s a weird amount of non-romance on the romance shelf), but whoever their purchaser is brought a lot of diverse books into the fold alongside the uber-popular stuff like Brandon Sanderson and Sarah J. Maas.

Aimeesue That‘s quite a mix! 5d
xicanti @Aimeesue I hope it does well! They‘ve got a vinyl section now, too. 5d
Aimeesue @xicanti Oh wow! Glad they‘re expanding their wares. I would‘ve passed up the toys for this section when I was a kid 😃 4d

I've loved having Molly the Maid back. She is as endearing, entertaining, and quirky as ever.
I much preferred this to "The Maid" as we got to know Molly more, and she had some corker one-liners. Feel good, cheesy, unique, and fun. A huge thumbs up from me!

The only Canada Reads book I got to this year and late, but I really enjoyed it. I‘m not surprised it was eliminated first; it was light for that program. However, it is being made into a film! I liked that the b-story was Ferns relationship with her mother and the grief from losing her. I also liked the theme of trying to figure out where you want to be and where you belong that was featured along side the steamy complex love story. Which was 😍

I listened to this historical tale of slavery set in Canada on Audio. It read like connected short stories to me. I did not give it my full attention and had a hard time following the family lines. I feel I did this novel a disservice, but I am also unwilling to reread it. So-so for me. It is on the Walter Scott long list for historical fiction.
