Welcome to shark week (month). The goal is to read one book featuring sharks, but feel free to watch a movie or visit an aquarium and tag me in any shark related activities. The readathon is for all of July even though Shark week starts July 20.

Time to vote for the August #QueerBC author. This year's is flying by!

So keeping that in mind, start thinking about some spooky and wintery books you'd like to suggest for the October and December buddy reads

It sounds ages away but it will sneak up on you!

July's author is Nino Cipri. Looking forward to your thoughts and reviews

July‘s #ChristiesCapers returns us to Hercule Poirot. Considered to be one of the best mysteries of all time, I think one can argue that we truly see Christie‘s writing genius in this.

Hey Littens,

I hope the motivation to read some classics is not affected by the heat (at least over here in Germany it is very, very hot). 🥵🌴

For the 3rd quarter, we'll tackle some stage writing!

Grab some lemonade, enjoy and tag me in your posts!☀️🏖

Our July #buddyread is Andrea Wulf‘s 2015 biography of Alexander Von Humboldt, following the Prussian naturalist from childhood through to his travels in Europe and Latin America.

#VirginiaBloomsberries

Our July #BuddyRead is VW‘s 1927 novel, To the Lighthouse. We meet the Ramsey family at their summer retreat in the Hebridean isles over a ten year period.
Critics have claimed its themes to be about art, WW1, time, family and connection. My experiences of reading VW, so far, lead me to expect a highly skilled novel accumulating all the above themes in a most concise way. I can‘t wait.

Helen Knott does not have as many books as some of the other Canadian authors we have explored but she does have these two memoirs. Either memoir will be a good but hard read. Please let me know which book you would prefer to read for the July/August read of #OhCanada.
