I thought I'd start #Canada Month with something quick & easy. This is a selection of Champlain's maps, drawings & writings about his travels to North America, reworked into a graphic work. Interesting as a teaser, but the lack of “meat“ and context is frustrating, despite the few pages of explanations tacked to the end. A giant wood & metal version toured Canada in 2008.

pickI got one last Gamache re-read in before I dive into Grey Wolf. This is the last one before the 💩really hits the fan. The ending still shocks me to this day. #FoodAndLit #Canada
pickThis book was published in 1945 & is the story of the Mitchell family. There are 5 Mitchell children who live with their mother & Grannie while their father & uncle are off fighting in the war. They get into all sorts of funny shenanigans with their club to help the war effort. A nice snapshot of American life during WWII. I‘m reading the sequel for #FoodAndLit - 4⭐️

pickThis book was crazy. There are so many twists and turns. Creepy, and I thought Dawn was weak in making decisions. Here is my Turkey Pot Pie, my Canadian version. Made from leftover turkey and turkey broth. Put in a pot over stove, add frozen vegetables, onion, potatoes, spices to taste, like sage, salt, cloves, add cornstarch to thicken. Pour into a deep pie dish, put a nice pie crust on top, and bake to cook the crust. And voila.#FoodandLit ⬇️
#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon
My #HyggeHour is starting this ARC that I‘ll be using as my #FoodAndLit Canada pick for November. It‘s the latest book in a favorite series from Armstrong, publishing at the first of the year & set in the Yukon. I may try to get to another of the author‘s ARCs this month as well.
For snacks, I was surprised & delighted to find a box from the lovely @mcctrish on my porch this morning full of Canadian snacks. ⬇️
Holy guacamole, Batman! When I first opened this, I thought it was a ton of yummy crackers. I was about to send Matt on a run to our favorite grocery store for a bunch of different cheeses, and then I actually opened the box and saw all these yummy Canadian treats! Yum, yum, yum! And I've never participated in #FoodAndLit ... no time like the present with Inspector Gamache! Thank you so much, @mcctrish. My heart and stomach are full! 🧡🍁🤎
A little later than usual, but here‘s my November‘s #BookSpinBingo board
My #BookSpin book is a book I was thinking about reading for #Canada #foodandlit. I guess I‘ll get to it now
My #DoubleSpin is this months read with #NancyDrewBR
Home made Philly cheesesteak for #daysdevotedto #sandwich and Miss Vickie‘s chips from Canada for #foodandlit @Catsandbooks @Eggs @Texreader @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

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 🇨🇦
Hurray! It‘s like Xmas came early! Thank you, @mcctrish for all the Canadian style treats. I will enjoy them while binging Chief Inspector Gamache novels this month as this is the most correct way to celebrate #Canada month for #FoodAndLit I believe😅🍁
