LiseWorks Oh my goodness, as a Canadian, I think I want to do this, by the way, I painted this. It's Mareign Lake in Alberta. Can I be included? 1w

Kitta Also Canadian and having trouble thinking of food that‘s not French Canadian! ðŸ˜‚ What are people planning to eat? Maple syrup? Canadian bacon? I‘d highly recommend butter tarts but idk where you can find them. 1w

Kitta @LiseWorks oh wow you painted this? Beautiful! 1w

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! 4w

Jess861 @lauraisntwilder Thanks! There are so many great Canadian books to explore! 4w

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. 4w

Ruthiella Yes please! If possible, I‘d prefer bimonthly, just to keep the various group reads under control. 4w

CarolynM I‘d be interested in joining in, although every month might be beyond me. 4w

Jess861 @KathyWheeler that would be great if you decide to join in! 4w

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! 4w

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 ðŸ™‚ 4w

LapReader I‘m in. 4w

Jess861 @LapReader Great to have you join :). 3w

kwmg40 I‘d like to join, and bimonthly would work well for me. 3w

Jess861 @kwmg40 Great! I think I can confirm it will be bimonthly at this point as that is what most are leaning towards. 3w

Jess861 @lauraisntwilder @KathyWheeler @Ruthiella @CarolynM @LapReader @kwmg40

I think there is enough interest to go ahead on a bimonthly basis starting in January ðŸ˜Š. 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! 3w

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 ðŸ˜€ 3w

lauraisntwilder Sounds great! 3w

KathyWheeler @Jess861 Sounds great! 3w

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. 3w

Readergrrl I‘m interested, for sure! Part-time Canadian here; spend my summers with family in the Maritimes! 2w

Jess861 @Readergrrl I'll add you to the tag list ðŸ™‚ 2w

O Canada | Ted Harrison

1. This week‘s baseball joy: the hockey team‘s anthem singers came to Nationals Park to sing O Canada on cinco de mayo.
2. This is problematic in the bigger scheme of things, but it‘s always a joy to see deer outside my door.
3. Zendaya‘s first gown for the Met Gala gave me joy.
4. It was a joy to sit on the patio reading and drinking ginger ale.
5. It‘s always a joy to walk around the lake, but especially this time of year.

Oh, Canada! | Per-Henrik Gürth

If you're in Canada and have been wanting to sign up for #BOTM, now's your time! (Though they seem to have excluded Quebec for some reason?)

PS: Aardvark is also available in Canada so now you've got options!

rabbitprincess Quebec is often excluded from contests because of provincial legislation governing how contests can be administered, but in the case of BOTM I‘d wager they didn‘t want to have to translate all of their materials into French. 2y

swishandflick @rabbitprincess Ah, that would make sense! 2y

BookBelle84 I feel like the only reason they've made this available is because Aardvark is now competition for them.... the timing is just weird considering Canada has requested BOTM for years. 2y

swishandflick @BookBelle84 My thoughts exactly! 2y

Anthem | Noah Hawley

so-so

This new release is dark, disturbing, violent . . . and recognizable. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#anthem

readordierachel I've been so curious about this one. My therapist actually recommended it to me, weirdly enough 3y

JoyBlue @readordierachel Oh, interesting!!!! Please let me know what you think if you read it. I'd love to have a conversation about it via email or messaging or some such. (edited) 3y

readordierachel Will do! 3y

I found this #Canadian ðŸ‡¨ðŸ‡¦ Reading Challenge today by a woman I follow on Instagram (@bookishcanuck) (she‘s not on Litsy). I‘m going to try and follow this one. It‘s called # TrueNorthReads. I didn‘t do any challenges last year at all so want to try and get to a few this year. Bummer the Reading Women Challenge is no more. I tried to do that one every year.

Penny_LiteraryHoarders I‘ll try and get the picture up. It‘s not working right now. 3y

Lindy A Canadian reading challenge sounds great! Is it only on Instagram? I tried searching for it there without success. Or is there a weblink you can paste in? 3y

Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Lindy I‘ll send you the challenge image. I think she may only be on Instagram? 3y

Lindy @Penny_LiteraryHoarders Assuming that you will shadow the Giller again, you should have no problem ticking most of these boxes with Giller reading alone. 3y

Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Lindy and you too Lindy?? ðŸ¤—ðŸ˜ƒ 3y
