Book of Records | Madeleine Thien

Pickpick

I haven‘t been posting links to my booktube videos lately, mostly because the Litsy app no longer works properly on my iPad, making its use inconvenient. Anyway, Madeleine Thien‘s remarkable book is in the latest episode. (Please let me know if you want me to continue posting links.)
Hope & empathy are the hallmarks in this 07/04/25 episode — #LGBTQ #kidlit #CanLit #WomenInTranslation #audiobooks

LeahBergen Keep posting links! Have you tried to reload the app? 2w
AnneCecilie Can‘t wait to watch this video and your views on Thien‘s latest (edited) 2w
Butterfinger Yes, I was thinking of you the other day. Children at camp were being taught about folk art. I was giving examples of weaving and dying the wool. 2w

Lindy @LeahBergen Thanks for your encouragement. 😊 Yes, I have tried deleting and redownloading the app. No luck. It‘s partly functional but I can‘t include images in Litsy on my iPad. 2w
Lindy @AnneCecilie Thanks! I even have a Norwegian author included in this episode. 🇳🇴 2w
Lindy @Butterfinger Hi Tammy! It‘s nice to hear that you think of me. ☺️ 2w
marleed Oh yes, I enjoy your posts! 2w
Lindy @marleed Thank you Marlee! ☺️ 2w
Butterfinger The concept of claiming empathy hurts civilization. That is the scariest thing I have heard. 2w
Lindy @Butterfinger I know! 👿 2w

Griffintown | Marie Helene Poitras, Sheila Fischman

Marie is a young woman who loves horses and brings her idealism into the lives of carriage horses and their drivers in contemporary Old Montreal. A short, sharp novella that encompasses the criminal underworld and the dark side of gentrification. Translation from French by Sheila Fischman. #CanadianAuthor #WomenInTranslation

TheKidUpstairs I'll have to remember to watch this when I'm home from work. I checked out the list, a couple there that I loved and definitely more that will be added to the TBR! 11mo
Lindy @melissajayne You are entitled to your opinion. Quebec has long been recognized as a distinct society and I have no problem with that. 11mo
Lindy @TheKidUpstairs Thanks Megan! I hope you enjoy the video. 11mo
