#WeeklyForecast 45/24

Somehow I haven‘t read as much lately so I think these two books might me ambitious already. I have started The Echoes already and am enjoying it.
The tagged one (by the author of Life of Pi) has been sitting on my shelves for ages so I am glad to pick it up for #FoodAndLit 🇨🇦

sarahbarnes I loved Pi so will be curious to hear about this one. And I am excited to read something by Wyld soon - I never have! 2d

TheKidUpstairs I've got The Echoes pre-ordered (it's not out here until February!), eager to hear your thoughts when you've finished!

@sarahbarnes The Bass Rock is my favourite of hers! 1d

sarahbarnes @TheKidUpstairs that is really good to know! 1d

BarbaraBB Thanks for the recommendation @TheKidUpstairs 20h

And the Birds Rained Down | Jocelyne Saucier

The emoji in the center of the flower says it all. The choice between And the Birds Rained Down and My Broken Language was painful!

Ultimately, I went with the title I did because it does *a lot* in few words. My Broken Language could be a bit rambly (but I‘d happily drown in her tidal wave of language forever).

For those following along with #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead #LMMReread or #LMMJournals, in November we‘re starting Vol. 3 of the Complete Journals and also reading The Golden Road.

Then in December we‘ll read LMM‘s Christmas stories! I‘ll assemble a #KindredSpiritsChristmas story-a-day schedule for us to read these cozy holiday stories together. All are welcome—if you‘d like to join in just for December, let me know and I‘ll add you to the tag list!

Seabreeze_Reader Enjoy your reading. 🙂Unfortunately I won't have time in my schedule to join in. 3d

BarbaraJean @Seabreeze_Reader Thank you! Maybe we‘ll catch you another time 😊 3d

TheAromaofBooks I actually read the “Haunted“ short story this week! Still plowing my way through Seven Gables 😅 My copy of the journals should be here this weekend. I'm looking forward/also somewhat apprehensive to read about LMM's early marriage years and leaving PEI. Are the Christmas stories going to a specific book of collected stories, or just random ones from here and there? 3d

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Seven Gables turned out to be quite a slog! 😬 I‘ll see how this volume of the journals feels—I‘m a bit apprehensive as well! There are more of LMM‘s books to break things up with at this point, though, and I‘m going to go through the notes and jot down adjacent titles to work into the schedule also. The Christmas stories are random—I have a list compiled from a few different Christmas collections (minus that weird Red Room one!) 3d

Roary47 The golden road looks enchanting. I‘m going to read the first book really quick to be on track. 🥰 3d

TheAromaofBooks Yeah, The Red Room, randomly depressing and not remotely Christmasy haha That story was a disappointment! 😂 3d

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks I actually read the haunted story too! I‘m so proud of us! 😀 3d

julieclair I will skip the journals, but join in for The Golden Road. And December sounds delightful! 3d

BarbaraJean @Roary47 Yay! Glad to have you join in, and I hope you enjoy both books! 😊 3d

BarbaraJean @julieclair Looking forward to reading Golden Road and Christmas stories with you! And good job reading the ghost story—LMM loved ghost stories, but it sounds like it‘s not in any of our wheelhouses, so good job to all of us! 3d

Daisey I‘d like to try to join in for the Christmas stories. Please add me to that list. 3d

BarbaraJean @Daisey Will do! Glad to have you along for the Christmas stories! 2d

And the Birds Rained Down | Jocelyne Saucier

pick

"Ted was a broken soul, Charlie a nature lover and Tom had seen everything a man is allowed to see."

Three men retreated from society to live and die on their own terms in the remote Northern Ontario wilderness.

Cont'd in comments

TheKidUpstairs ...After one's death, the isolation of the remaining men is broken by the arrival of two women: one, a photographer searching for survivors of a Great Fire; the other, an elderly woman who had lived her days in the constrains of others, hoping for a chance at a life of her own.... cont'd 7d

TheKidUpstairs Their stories are shared, as tales around a campfire, by the witnesses: the photographer, the pot farmer who brings them supplies, the wilderness hotel manager who keeps their secrets, and an omniscient narrator with the feel of a Greek chorus. It is a beautiful, thoughtful, questioning meditation on life, death, and the freedom in accepting that others live lives we can never fully comprehend, but there is comfort in the not knowing... cont'd

"And death? Well, she is still prowling. But pray her no mind. She lurks in every step."

Thank you @monalyisha for inspiring me to push this one up my TBR. 7d

monalyisha I‘m so glad you had a positive experience with this one, too! 💚 6d

The Law of Dreams: A Novel | Peter Behrens

A few chapters in and already hooked. I‘m anticipating the anger, grief, and trauma to come in this historical literary drama about colonization in Ireland and what carries forward in Canada. The writing is gorgeous and the author is extraordinarily skilled at drawing readers into the lives of the MCs.
