#VictoriaDayReadathon wrap-up:
✅ Emily Climbs (Montgomery)
✅ Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain (Eagleman)
I did not start Pierre Berton‘s War of 1812 or A Fine Balance (Mistry), but I‘d had the Eagleman out from the library for a while, so it was good to finish it.
pick4⭐️ beautifully written and well paced storytelling. The forest, and coastal landscapes as well as the people living in them are so compelling. I could almost smell the pine and tidal changes. A very good read. #victoriadayreadathon 🇨🇦
pickI finished off the #VictoriaDayReadathon with this excellent installment from the October Daye series. In this one, Toby negotiates the politics of a conclave involving faerie kings and queens, and ends up as lead investigator when one of the monarchs is murdered.

Last day of my weekend and the #VictoriaDayWeekendReadathon thanks @melissajayne for hosting. I started listening to this fun cozy before bed last night and continued listening this morning. Happy Victoria Day 🇨🇦
pickThis historical fantasy set in Chicago of the 1920's features demons, angels and a noir-style mystery. I enjoyed it very much and thought it had a lot of depth in its plot and characters for a novella-length book.

The best way to find more Canadians on Litsy? Through @melissajayne ‘s #VictoriaDayReadathon! 🇨🇦 I am looking forward to a long weekend full of reading. If I can read these 2 books, that would be great:
Emily Climbs (Montgomery)
Pierre Berton‘s War of 1812
Also could this be the weekend I finally start A Fine Balance (Mistry)?!
Onto my next read for the #victoriadayreadathon - there‘s a new thing on our library‘s Libby App -A Skip the Line Loan - you have 7 days to read it - I‘m hoping to make some headway before times up in 4 days. Naturally my loan list is full and I‘m easily distracted by the other books 📚 so who knows if I‘ll finish
The #victoriadayreadathon hosted by @melissajayne is just what's needed to fill out the upcoming long weekend! For once, we're not travelling anywhere, so I'm looking forward to a relaxing few days with lots of reading.
The Aurora Award nominees (for Canadian sci-fi and fantasy) have just been announced and I'll be reading from that list: https://www.tor.com/2023/05/15/heres-the-2023-aurora-award-ballot/
repost for @melissajayne:
I am hosting a Victoria Day Weekend readalong this Friday through Sunday. Victoria is the unofficial start of summer here in Canada. For a more broad definition of Victoria Day, you can go here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Day
This will be a low key #readathon, in that you can read as much or as little as you want. It just matters that you read. I hope you can join in. #victoriadayreadathon
