Oh, Canada! | Per-Henrik Grth

Repost for @Jess861

Looking to see if there would be any interest in a bookclub or buddyread around Canadian Fiction for the year of 2025. I'm thinking a monthly or bi-monthly book to read at your own pace with some discussion at the end of the month. If anyone is interested, just comment below :).

lauraisntwilder Oh, that could be interesting! 1mo
Jess861 @lauraisntwilder Thanks! There are so many great Canadian books to explore! 1mo
KathyWheeler My parents are Canadian and most of my extended family is. We are some of the few family members in the US. I‘d love to know more about Canadian literature. 1mo

Ruthiella Yes please! If possible, I‘d prefer bimonthly, just to keep the various group reads under control. 1mo
CarolynM I‘d be interested in joining in, although every month might be beyond me. 1mo
Jess861 @KathyWheeler that would be great if you decide to join in! 1mo
Jess861 @Ruthiella Awesome! I do think bi-monthly will end up working better since there are so many group read options that people are a part of! 1mo
Jess861 @CarolynM Great if you are able to join! I am leaning more towards bi-monthly and of course you can participate as your able or feel like it. It'll be pretty easy going 🙂 1mo
LapReader I‘m in. 1mo
Jess861 @LapReader Great to have you join :). 1mo
kwmg40 I‘d like to join, and bimonthly would work well for me. 1mo
Jess861 @kwmg40 Great! I think I can confirm it will be bimonthly at this point as that is what most are leaning towards. 1mo
Jess861 @lauraisntwilder @KathyWheeler @Ruthiella @CarolynM @LapReader @kwmg40

I think there is enough interest to go ahead on a bimonthly basis starting in January 😊. I'm going to add you to the tag list as you all showed interest but if you don't want to be please let me know. In mid to end November I think I'll put up a vote (2 or 3 books) on what we'd like to read first. I'd love to start with an Indigenous author and already have many ideas!

CarolynM Great! I have very little knowledge of Canadian literature so I‘m happy to go along with whatever titles you suggest. Looking forward to it 😀 1mo
lauraisntwilder Sounds great! 1mo
KathyWheeler @Jess861 Sounds great! 1mo
kwmg40 Looking forward to this! Being a Canadian, I have read a lot of Canadian books but I'm always happy to reread worthy books and also hope to discover some new authors. 1mo
Readergrrl I‘m interested, for sure! Part-time Canadian here; spend my summers with family in the Maritimes! 1mo
Jess861 @Readergrrl I'll add you to the tag list 🙂 1mo

Ok, so I went through my books and picked these 4 to choose from. 3 of the four were featured on Canada Reads, so that bodes well I think. Let me know if you've read any of them already. 😊🇨🇦

ShelleyBooksie I haven't read any and they all sound good. North of Normal really stands out to me 6y
TheKidUpstairs Haven't read any of these, but they all look great! 6y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Ok. So I assume we mail in the order that was sent in the email? @TheKidUpstairs ➡️ @Tianarose ➡️ @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego ➡️ @ShelleyBooksie ➡️ @TheKidUpstairs 6y

Tianarose That definitely makes the most sense. 6y
TheKidUpstairs @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego yes, I think that makes the most sense! 6y
ShelleyBooksie So I would send to @TheKidUpstairs first? 6y
ShelleyBooksie I just realized you wrote that in a comment above - duh 6y

A fun quick Christmasy novella revisiting the lovely ladies of The Witches of New York. Brought back to mind all the things I liked about that novel and even reveals quite a plot point! Makes me hope for another full length tale - since plenty was left open-ended in the first book in my mind!
Weirdly, this was only published in Canada so I had to order it instead of getting it from my local shop in the US 😕 #ohcanada

tournevis We're still three weeks away from the first flakes in my part of Ontario, but yeah. It's still summer here, i.e. too hot and humid for it to be fun. 6y
OrangeMooseReads And here I thought Canada was cool. Lol stay warm and in your case @tournevis stay cool 6y
GripLitGrl Snow already😮that's crazy🙃 6y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @OrangeMooseReads Oh were cooler than cool! 😄 6y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @GripLitGrl yeah, our weather is nuts. It's not sticking at least. And it could be hot again next week, ya never know. We're all over the place. 6y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @DGRachel @kstadt929 I know I get jealous of ppl who get long cozy Autumn weather. Ours never lasts long. Most Canadian kids have had take into consideration thier snowsuits when picking Halloween costumes 😄. Or just attend indoor activities. 6y
DivineDiana Snow?!?! ❄️ 😮 ⛄️ 6y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @DivineDiana not a ton. But it was there, and I think there is meant to be more. 6y
DivineDiana Stay warm! 🙂 6y

Ok, from the Owen sisters in Practical Magic, I am now jumping back to this story of a boy named Owen.
Who is a dragonslayer.
In a world very much like ours - only diff is a constant worry of dragon attacks - dragons who love munching on fossil fuel. So just being near a car holds exciting new dangers. Set in Canada!
Next up in my pursuit of tackling the #sirensreadingchallenge...
#ohCanada

readinginthedark Sounds fun! 7y
Kalalalatja Look forward to hearing what you think, it sounds wonderfully weird 😄 7y
elkeOriginal @Kalalalatja What's cool is it doesn't seem weird! Just fighting dragons like normal 🤣 7y
Kalalalatja Okay, I need to add this to my tbr 😄😄 7y

This book was a delightful surprise! From the author of Room, a children's book which focuses so much on building family, parenting, and growing old that it makes a fab read for adults. The story is told from the perspective of a 9yo growing up in Toronto 🎉 with four parents and six siblings, all educated at home in creative and unusual ways. It's like if Bread&Puppet Theatre made a family 💗 and sequel coming! 😍 #mommyreads #ebook #ohcanada
