sarahbarnes I‘ve just recently added Gallant to my list! 1w
merelybookish @sarahbarnes I've never read her and it seems like I should have by now! 1w

JuniperWilde Absolutely! 🇨🇦✊🏻🇨🇦 7d
JuniperWilde It‘s amazing tho. I went to the bookstore last week and by my guess 90% of the books are by US authors. That‘s got to change. 7d
JuniperWilde I‘m all for great books by authors from anywhere. And let‘s have more Cdn writers on our bookshelves. Do you have a too five Cdn books you‘ve read recently? 7d
merelybookish @JuniperWilde I don't read that much Canadian and I'd like to change that. The last CDN book I read was Held by Anne Michaels which I didn't like. But I'd recommend the tagged book. Also recommend following @lindy if you don't already as she reads and reviews a lot of Canlit 6d
Lindy @JuniperWilde @merelybookish Gallant‘s Paris Stories are fab. I see Nancy Huston and Tanya Tagaq on Margot‘s stack too. 👍 Here‘s a few more Canadian authors I enjoy: Helen Humphreys, Emma Donoghue, Marian Toews, Vivek Shraya, Kim Thuy and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson. 6d
merelybookish @Lindy Thanks! Some new ones to add to my list. 6d

Much to the irritation of the police,Tabitha & Julia join forces & investigate.Both women are independent, quick minded, curious and upbeat.Julia has a passion for cooking & Tabitha has a passion for anything mechanical. #AnAmericaninParisMystery #serieslove2025 #Libby (edited) 1mo

Mehso-so

I am having difficulty in rating this book. It is a frank look at the unexamined history of those who collaborated with the Nazis in France and their lives, the secrets they carried and the impact of that history on their family. My problem stems from the fact that this is supposedly a fictional novel based on the author‘s family and at times it read more like non-fiction than fiction. It is almost as though the author couldn‘t commit. ⬇️

Gleefulreader The topic is important and there are many observations in this book about the trauma of being raised in a home where the values and beliefs of Nazi Germany are maintained, but hidden behind a facade of funhouse mirrors. I just so wish that perhaps the author just wrote a true non-fiction book of her family rather than a book in where, like life with her family, you aren‘t sure where truth begins and ends. 2mo

A delightful, breezy read, but don‘t read this book if you are hungry.
