Oh, Canada! | Per-Henrik G�rth

Repost for @Jess861

Sorry for the late post on the vote for the next book! Two different types of books by two authors. Please let me know which book you would prefer to read for the September/October read of #OhCanada . Moon of the Crusted Snow is the first of two books (so far) and Three Day Road is the first in a trilogy.

Anyone welcome to join in this easy going book club where we explore different Canadian authors every two months.

Jess861 Thank you! 😊 1d

mcctrish I‘d love to read Three Day Road, I‘ve had it on my death tower for years (edited) 2d

Kitta Both sound really good! I‘d be happy with either but I‘m leaning towards

Tamra My vote is for Three Day Road. I read the other, it was great! 2d

TheKidUpstairs Both are great books, but if you are choosing from these as a way of reading Indigenous authors, please be aware of the controversies surrounding Boyden's ancestry claims: Author Joseph Boyden and his shape-shifting Indigenous identity https://share.google/mBFXjSnGW5xh4dGJd 2d

Jess861 @TheKidUpstairs - Thank you for letting us know about the controversies. These books weren't picked because of the authors ancestry. Just looking to explore well written books by Canadian authors. 2d

Jess861 @mcctrish @Kitta @Tamra - thanks for the votes - noted :) 2d

Tamra @mcctrish “death tower” 😂 2d

PurpleyPumpkin As I haven‘t read it yet, I‘ll vote for Three Day Road. 🗳️ 2d

Jess861 @PurpleyPumpkin Thanks for the vote - noted 😊 2d

Ruthiella Both are available at my libraries 👍 I think I am more curious to start with Boyden, since I have long heard about him as an author but not read anything yet.

Three Day Road (Revised)

Jess861 @Ruthiella Thanks for the vote - it is noted 😊 2d

CarolynM I‘m a bit over committed at the moment. I probably won‘t get to the current book, or the next one. Sorry. Hopefully I‘ll be able to join you for November/ December. 2d

Blueberry I've read Moon of the Crusted Snow. So I will vote for Three Day Road. I'm always up for reading a canoe trip through the northern wilderness. 😄 2d

Jess861 @CarolynM No worries - such a busy time of year!! 1d

Jess861 @Blueberry Thanks - noted 😊 1d

lauraisntwilder I'm voting for Moon of the Crusted Snow, but they both sound good. 1d

Jess861 @lauraisntwilder Thanks for the vote - noted 😊 1d

kwmg40 I‘ll vote for Three Day Road, as I‘ve read Moon of the Crusted Snow. 2h

O Canada | Ted Harrison

My dearest @mcctrish, what a lovely gift. I feel honored to be worthy enough to cherish this Canadian ornament. I have even looked into moving there and am beyond bummed that I probably can't. I don't blame your country one bit for not wanting us USA nutcrackers up there! Here's to the July birthday 🦀 babes! Thank you, m'dear. ♥️🇨🇦🤍

mcctrish So glad it finally got there 3w

LiseWorks You can come and visit anytime. 3w

dabbe @mcctrish @Liseworks ... I'll have to find a way to make it all the way across the country! 😍 3w

AnnCrystal Bummer 🇨🇦🆒. Yet you're needed here. America is our home, and she needs us all to remain to vote for change ✊🏼🦅✌🏼💝. (edited) 3w

Helen Knott does not have as many books as some of the other Canadian authors we have explored but she does have these two memoirs. Either memoir will be a good but hard read. Please let me know which book you would prefer to read for the July/August read of #OhCanada.

Ruthiella I like the idea of mixing in memoir! I vote for

In My Own Moccasins: A Memoir of Resilience

(edited) 2mo

PurpleyPumpkin Oof these both sound like heavy but important reads. Hard to choose just one! So, I‘ll go with her first book. But I‘m happy to read either.

JenlovesJT47 I read Becoming A Matriarch and I loved it. It‘s a quick read. I downloaded the other one but haven‘t read it yet. Either is a good choice! 2mo

kwmg40 Becoming a Matriarch is currently on my TBR list, so I‘ll vote for that one. 2mo

JenlovesJT47 We read Becoming A Matriarch for #shesaid and everyone had a hard time finding a copy that wasn‘t super expensive. I do know a place where you can download them for free if you feel comfortable doing that. 2mo

CarolynM I‘m behind with my #OhCanada reading, but I hope to join you for this one, whichever you choose 🙂 2mo

JuniperWilde Let me know which one you chose. 2mo

Jess861 @Ruthiella @PurpleyPumpkin @kwmg40 - thanks for your votes - noted 😊 2mo

Jess861 @JenlovesJT47 - good to know - they are so easily available where I live in Canada. I didn't realize they were a bit harder to find in other countries. 2mo

Jess861 @CarolynM - sounds good! 2mo

Jess861 @JuniperWilde - Will do - I'll have another post with the book that is voted for. Going to give it a few more days in case people want to vote and weren't on during the week. 2mo

Oh, Canada! | Per-Henrik G�rth

It is Election Day here in Canada, and I've been oscillating wildly between cautiously optimistic and absolute bundle of nerves weighed down by the boulder of dread in my stomach. I may or may not sleep tonight. Wish us luck!

BarbaraBB Happy for you and the rest of the world with the results ❤️🤍 4mo

DogMomIrene As a PR I‘m so elated with the results. Canadians did not disappoint ❤️🇨🇦🍁 4mo

TheKidUpstairs @BarbaraBB @DogMomIrene 🎉 I'm so relieved. And I'm glad they were able to call it early so I could actually get a good night's sleep! 3mo

TheKidUpstairs @Cortg @TheBookHippie @Kerrbearlib @Ruthiella thank you all for your good wishes and crossed fingers! While we didn't get the Liberal majority I would have liked to see, I'm still relieved by the results. It looks like lots of strategic voting took place to keep the politics of division and distrust from winning. 3mo

TheBookHippie @TheKidUpstairs I was watching into the night!!! I agree. Relieved. 3mo

I thought we could explore Genevieve Graham as an author for the next #OhCanada read. She has written a number of books with many of them being Canadian historical fiction set around war times. She also has a new book coming out in April 2025. Please vote if you'd like. All are welcome to join this low key read.
