I stopped in at Toys R Us today and was delighted to find they‘ve expanded their books selection to include lots of material for older teenagers and adults! Some of the genre divisions don‘t make sense (for example, there‘s a weird amount of non-romance on the romance shelf), but whoever their purchaser is brought a lot of diverse books into the fold alongside the uber-popular stuff like Brandon Sanderson and Sarah J. Maas.

Aimeesue That‘s quite a mix! 4w
xicanti @Aimeesue I hope it does well! They‘ve got a vinyl section now, too. 4w
Aimeesue @xicanti Oh wow! Glad they‘re expanding their wares. I would‘ve passed up the toys for this section when I was a kid 😃 4w

These are all the Canadian books I bought (or were sent to me) in 2023 that I haven‘t read yet. I plan on reading more from my shelves this year (I‘ll try!!) and I‘m looking forward to reading these in particular. Cut off from the picture is Tomson Highway‘s Kiss of the Fur Queen. #CanLit @Lindy

Lindy The only one in that stack that I have read is the Broken Heart of Winter. I liked it! And I‘ve been thinking of it since moving to Victoria because the MC lives here & works in a bakery. There are so many great bakeries in this city! 4mo
LiteraryHoarderPenny @Lindy love it!! Glad to see your settling in so nicely. I really love Victoria! 4mo
Lindy @LiteraryHoarderPenny It really is beautiful here ☺️ 4mo

Myths can be rewritten. As Wayne learns when a mysterious force begins killing off modern knights. He must work with a Valkyrie, a monster, and a rune smith to stop it.

This was a really interesting twist on Arthurian legend! Urban fantasy & a diverse cast, which I loved. Really loose world building, a too quick romance, & pacing that was all over the place, which I enjoyed less. But once I got to the last 1/4 I was in! 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

30 book recommendations in 30 days...

Day 30: Let's end the 30 days with a very intense yet very powerful and important novel. Again, it is fiction, but really allows people to get inside other lives and perspectives in a way I think we all should. It is *tough* stuff, so pretty much any content warning you can think of applies. #30recsin30days

CuriousG Content warnings for: forced residential schools, forced restrictions on cultural customs and language, abuse, harmful ongoing colonial issues, childhood sexual abuse, sexual abuse, poverty, intergenerational trauma, drug use, self harm, suicide, and more I've probably forgotten. Basically most things. 9mo

4⭐️ beautifully written and well paced storytelling. The forest, and coastal landscapes as well as the people living in them are so compelling. I could almost smell the pine and tidal changes. A very good read. #victoriadayreadathon 🇨🇦
