Picked up this poetry book on kindle for my next read in the #transrightsreadathon.

Beautiful cover and looks interesting! I don‘t read much poetry but I‘m getting into it slowly.

I‘m bailing on this a bit more than 50% through. This was on a books to read before you die list, and I can see the merit of its place there. Unfortunately, several unlikable characters and the misery of the plot are just too depressing for me to continue. I‘m grateful for learning about the author and this book‘s place in inspiring the quiet revolution, and I‘m ultimately glad I picked it up, but it‘s just not for me right now.

Had a delightful surprise parcel arrive all the way from 🇨🇦- thanks @LeahBergen ! I definitely had an Anne phase but never really thought to explore her other works.

I opened this parcel at my grandparents and the moose poo bookmark really tickled my Nana - she‘s probably still giggling (she‘s so cute). Love that the label on the back reassures that the bookmark is odourless 🤣

❤️🤍❤️

LeahBergen You‘re so welcome! And I‘m glad that your Nana liked it, too! 😆😆 3d

A perfect first book to a series. Chief Inspector Gamache and his team (Inspector Beauvoir and Agent Nichol and Agent Lacoste) are investigating the death of Jane Neal in Three Pines (Quebec). The cast of characters, setting, and mystery are well written. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Book 1/19 #SeriesLove2024
Book 1/2 for #MarvellousMarch goals.

Make a great day everyone 🙂

Keetsahnak / Our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Sisters | Maria Campbell, Kim Anderson, Christi Belcourt

Lunchtime nonfiction with Saki. Despite my little pal‘s glare, this is an important and insightful work that digs into the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls from academic, legal, and personal angles. (NB: it was published in 2017. More recent writing on the matter also includes two-spirit people.)

UwannaPublishme Aww! Great photo! Does Saki get along with Casey? 1w

This is the one where the story really starts to get deep. It picks up where the last book, A Brutal Telling, leaves off. I‘ve read this a few times and the end still shocks me a bit. 🌲🌲🌲

Susanita This is my favorite of the series so far. 2w
Aimeesue Ralph Cosham was the perfect narrator for this series. ☹️ 2w

(2009) Fourth in Penny's series featuring Quebec detective Armand Gamache. In this one, Gamache investigates murder at a forest resort where he & Mme Gamache celebrate their anniversary. Penny's mysteries strike me not so much as mysteries but as stories about being human that just happen to involve murder. This one is about families and how they feed and fail us. It made me squirm repeatedly.

This was my #BookSpin read for March

rretzler It‘s a great series! 3w
CarolynM I think you are right about the nature of Louise Penny‘s stories. The mystery isn‘t the important bit. 2w

JUNIE is one of those books that practically reads itself. I feel like I‘ve hardly spent any time with it, yet I‘m already a hundred pages in. Knight‘s prose is deep and evocative without being performative, and her dialogue gives each character a strong voice. I can‘t wait to read on.
