So I've been chatting on an important girl guide cookie thread about #litsy folks who are from Canada or #Canlittens (good one, @rabbitprincess 😀). I'm curious who all lives in Canada or is from Canada? Where do you live? I live in Toronto, Ontario. I was born in Guelph. 🇨🇦

Jenshootsweddings #canlitten here! Grew up near Muskoka, lived in Toronto for awhile but have settled in London🇨🇦 8y
Bibliogeekery @LeahBergen - oh yes! I was trying to remember if you were a #canlitten! 8y

Jilanna Hi! I'm in Fredericton, NB. 8y
Bibliogeekery @Jilanna - hi! I was just in Fredericton this summer. My childhood best friend lives there so we come to visit fairly regularly. A highlight was riding tubes down a river- great fun! 8y
Jilanna @Bibliogeekery Tubing is awesome! Fredericton is pretty great. Let me know if you ever want to meet for tea and book chat. 8y
Bibliogeekery @Jilanna will do! I 8y
TheCanuckReader There are never enough book nerd friends! @Bibliogeekery 8y

merelybookish I grew up in Saint John, NB. Went to school in Halifax. Have lived in Kansas City, MO for 10 years. Moving to Denver in a month. 8y
Jenshootsweddings @brilliantglow for sure! ☕️📚❤️ 8y
TheCanuckReader Since all of the #canlitten peeps are here, do any of you subscribe to book subscription boxes based in Canada? I've been looking! I just ordered the Book Riot one but I bet I'm gonna get dinged with duty fees! 8y
brilliantglow @Jenshootsweddings if you want add me on goodreads then we can PM and schedule a get together. My goodreads is the same as my litsy. 📚😃 8y
brilliantglow @TheCanuckReader YES! I've been wondering this too! I tried to sign up for BOTM but couldn't and was so disappointed. I think you're right about duties 8y
LeahBergen @TheCanuckReader I've looked at some but haven't tried any yet. And why can't we get BOTM?!?! 😡 8y
Tanner @TheCanuckReader No, I've been scared off by the whole customs/duty thing on the ones I've seen, and keep forgetting to see if there are any based in Canada. I really should, since bookish mail is awesome! 8y
Shemac77 I live in Nova Scotia currently (Liverpool). Born on Cape Breton Island. Lived on Vancouver Island for 6 years. #canlitten (love it)! 8y
TheCanuckReader I'll let you know if/how much I get soaked for duty. And sucks that BOTM won't ship here! 8y

Two queer Canadian books I picked up at Little Sister's Vancouver's LGBTQ+ bookstore (among other things). RED ROVER is the first in a mystery series about a lesbian PI in Toronto. CINNAMON TOAST AND THE END OF THE WORLD is set in late 80s Nova Scotia about a grade 12 boy who's fallen in love with his guy best friend. #DiverseDetectives #QueerCanLit #WeNeedDiverseBooks #Mysteries

read_diverse_books Nice! I'm still looking for another #diversedetectives book. Thanks for the recommendation! 8y
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @read_diverse_books No prob! Any recs for POC detectives? I've already read Walter Mosley. 8y
read_diverse_books @CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian Can't help you there, unfortunately. This genre's new to me. You can ask Bina if you haven't already! 8y
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian I have asked before, so I'll scrounge up her recs. I've got 'em stored something. 8y
