I‘m on vacation this week and I plan on doing things for me. I have been taking care of others way too much and being an adult fixing things around the house so it‘s time to try and work on my TBR stack. #21of2025

pickI wanted a light crime novel to bring to the cottage, and Thomas King didn't disappoint. Great lead character, intriguing secondary characters, an interesting enough murder to solve, and a nice sprinkling of humour (to be expected from King!). Will definitely return to this series!

Well, this book has boats. It was my first Elizabeth Hay and I remember liking it a lot…as I have liked all the other books I have read since.
pickThe perfect summer read… her books always make me smile and secretly wish I lived in Canada and this was no exception… I loved spending time with Lucy and Felix and watching as they found their HEA!
pickOverall, a pleasant experience. I'll admit I was confused to start with, as the author has produced works of fiction related to the Vinyl Cafe radio show, but this collection is essays rather than short stories.
A lot are simple moments, what I might term as palate cleansers, but they do occasionally get more involved, heavy, moving, discussing the author's past and present as well as that of Canada and Canadians. 1/?
...“as if I had run my hand across the entire country like you would a piano.“
I love the way that description engages the senses.
...“the deadfalls are part of the beauty.“
Suddenly my love of old graveyards and old forests are linked. What a wonderful way of seeing.
