In the Skin of a Lion | Michael Ondaatje

pick

I had read Michael Ondaatje long ago, but I hadn‘t read this one. On a discussion with my massage therapist he said this was one of his favourite books, and so I picked it up. I was not disappointed. This is a Toronto novel through and through, reflecting an era of major public works (the Danforth bridge, the water plant). It is a story of love and the immigrant experience. The writing is beautiful and the story timeless. Loved it!

TheKidUpstairs One of my all time favourites. "The first sentence of every novel should be: Trust me, this will take time but there is order here, very faint, very human." 9mo

BookBr Love love love this book❤️ 9mo

That Scatterbrain Booky | Bernice Thurman Hunter

My bookspin for March, a Canadian #Canlit children's classic from the 1980s. Hope to start later today!

ShelleyBooksie I adored this series as a child. Was my #1 scholastic bookfair choice. ♡ 9mo

TheLudicReader Never heard of it! 😂 9mo

merelybookish @ShelleyBooksie You're the second person whose told me that! 9mo

merelybookish @TheLudicReader Maybe "classic" is a bit strong! But some people do remember it with fondness! 9mo

Prize Women: A Novel | Caroline Lea

Hello!

I cannot see that there is anyone on Litsy that is a dedicated poster about the Women's Prize (formally know as the Orange Prize)

This is my very favorite literary prize and I would like to know if anyone would be interested if I hosted some things - Predictions; Longlist reading, shortlist, and voting for favorites to win?

Both prizes are sort of on top of each other so I am unsure how it will all shake out, just gaging interest?

AllDebooks I would 😀 10mo

fredthemoose I‘d be potentially interested! 10mo

BarbaraBB I‘d be interested! It will be around the same time as the #ToB so we will be busy 😀 10mo

ImperfectCJ I would be interested! 10mo

squirrelbrain I‘m interested! I usually read the full fiction longlist. Did most of the NF list last year too, but I won‘t aim for that this time. 10mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @BarbaraBB I know!! I am trying to get through the #ToB now so I am ready to go for the WP but it isn't going well 🤣. I wish they were more spread out. 10mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @squirrelbrain they are too close together! I am a die hard for the fiction list and last year I spread out the NF. I found so many gems! I am happy to host for both, but I will not be reading the full NF list before moving to fiction. 10mo

squirrelbrain I think we‘re prize list twins! 🤪 10mo

Suet624 I would!! 10mo

Jas16 I would! 10mo

Hooked_on_books I‘m not into the predictions for prizes, but I‘ve read the fiction list the last 2 years (though I still have 2 left from last year to get to) and most of the NF list last year. I plan to do so again, though who knows if it‘ll be in time for the prize announcement. 10mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @Hooked_on_books I skipped the one from Karen Lord, I don't read books if they are part of an ongoing series (I find it annoying they are even put on the list!) and I still need to read Traces of Sun which I own but just haven't felt the desire to pick up. 10mo

Hooked_on_books I started A Trace of Sun months ago and it‘s written (at least early on) in dialect that wasn‘t right for the moment, so it‘s been on pause for a while. Then I have Nightbloom on audio to get to. I hear you about series books. I tried that one but bailed about halfway through. 10mo

Chelsea.Poole I‘m interested 😊 10mo

CarolynM I‘m interested 🙂 10mo

Cabbagetown: The Classic Novel of the Depression in Canada | Hugh Garner

#FoodandLit #Canada I made Cabbage Rolls it is unclear as to who invented this lovely dish, but we do have a lot of Ukrainian immigrants that came to Canada in the early 1900 s. I learned how to make it from a French Canadian lady. The recipe is very easy.
1. Cook beef with onions and add beef broth pouch until cooked. Cook rice separately. Mix the two together and add soya sauce. Don't be cheap but taste. ⬇️

LiseWorks Add cayenne peper to spice it up. Put the mix in leaves of cabbage and roll to put in casserole dish. Take a can of Campbells tomato soup. Mix with full can of water and mix. Sladder all over cabbage rolls and put cover on it and bake in over until cabbage is cooked. Serve with sour cream 😋 13mo

julieclair Yum! 13mo

Catsandbooks Tasty! 🇨🇦 13mo

Texreader Positive I‘d love this (other than the cayenne) 13mo

LiseWorks @Texreader the cayenne is a personal choice. It is something I decided one day to add and now my family likes it lol 13mo

Dilara I had something pretty similar in Hungary 😁 https://budapestcookingclass.com/hungarian-stuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe-toltott-...
I guess every country where cabbage grows would have its own take on the dish 😁 12mo

LiseWorks @Dilara, this is the recipe my mom used to do with the rice uncooked with tomato sauce. But when I made mine for my dad, he loved mine more than my mom's. The campbell soup has spices in it that give it flavor, and yes, everyone has their own take on how to make them. I had some in Saskatchewan, and theirs had sausage in it. 12mo
