Picked these up for #CampLitsy because the wait for them on Libby was 24 weeks!! 😳

I don‘t like the trend of sprayed edges unless it has a design on it. The colour they chose for Death of the Author is… ummm… not to my taste. But whatever, here‘s hoping the content is better than the edges! Or at least that it sparks a good discussion!

Can‘t wait for camp to start! I‘m packing my tent and sleeping bag already. 🏕️

BarbaraBB Oooh that looks o attractive! I‘ll be reading Author soon too. 14h

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Whimsical and strange in the way that a lot of books translated from Japanese are. Short interconnected stories about people struggling with something, who come to Kokoro Clinic for the Soul and receive strange remedies for their problems. Set in Kyoto and it was cute and lighthearted. Loved the illustrations.

Felt a little repetitive but I raced through it in two days, so a low pick from me.

Interesting read about some bandits who are joined by a nun on their escapes. I found the language a little stilted and the word choice odd in places.

Read early for June #QueerBC! My Libby hold came in before expected.

Also using this for #lgbtqia2025!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

I‘m not a huge poetry fan, but Ocean Vuong gets me everytime. Some poems hit harder than others. While not as good as Night Sky With Exit Wounds, I really enjoyed this.

Hearing him speak in 2022 transformed the way I think about poetry and he was very insistent that everyone can be a writer/poet - you just have to write! It really inspired me.

Network Effect is a great addition to the MurderBot series. Very happy to see ART again.

The Forgotten Home Child | Genevieve Graham

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Interesting historical fiction novel about the British Home Children - street kids who were shipped to Canada to live with new families before the First World War. Not every placement was a good one and this novel details some of the lives of children sent to work on farms. Covering their lifespans, it‘s ultimately a story of both loss and hope. I didn‘t like the style of narration but overall learned a lot.

Read for #OhCanada. @Jess861

Oh wow, strong pick for me. I liked this even more than the first book - The Space Between Worlds. Dystopian rebels fighting to keep their way of life and some people travelling the multiverse coming to interfere!

I love this type of science fiction. I stayed up late reading last night past midnight to finish this one. Definitely recommend!

Counts towards #lgbtqia2025 as well!

Beautiful debut Canadian novel. Nominated for many awards.

Translated from French and set mainly in Cairo and Montreal, this is an LGBTQ and family saga, told from the point of view of a narrator who‘s relationship to the main character is unknown (you find out about half through but I‘m not spoiling it!).

I loved the translation and had to look up a few English words I didn‘t know and this is my first language! 🙈 😂

Go-to genres: literary fiction, speculative fiction, science fiction.

Desert island reads: Soo hard! Definitely the Picture of Dorian Gray, & maybe something a little longer like LoTR to pass the time!

Snack: a nice cuppa

Weirdest reading place: At a concert with 500,000 people on a blanket in a field! SARSStock in 2003 in Toronto & the new Harry Potter had come out. 😂

When not reading: I‘m a scientist and pole dancer!

My sister sent me her copy of this WW II novel about French women in the resistance during the Nazi occupation of France. And wow. So good.

Some things felt a little clichéd but I don‘t care, I was moved by the story of Isabelle and Vianne, and still want to give this five stars.

It was scary to be reading about this and how it mirrors some of what is happening in the US right now. Not the same of course, but there‘s some parallels.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

jaye‘s second poetry collection delivers some really good stuff but a few of them missed the mark for me. Maybe it‘s cause I‘m reading on the subway and it‘s hard to take it all in while reading on a phone. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I do think it‘s important to read more queer, indigenous voices and jaye‘s description of their relationship with their body as a 2 spirit indigiqueer person is really moving.

Working as a traverser who moves between worlds in the multiverse, Cara mainly collects data and brings it back to Earth 0. She‘s been picked for the job because you can only visit worlds where your other self has died and she‘s dead in most of them. One day she discovers she‘s been murdered in one of the other worlds and she starts digging into what happened.

Excellent LGBTQ sci-fi. Would recommend!

The Book of Cold Cases | Simone St. James
post image
Mehso-so

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Shea writes a blog about cold murder cases and is particularly fascinated the the unsolved Lady Killer case which took place in her town in the 70s. The story follows Shea and the woman accused of the murders, Beth, starting in 2017 and how their lives become intertwined.

A bit too paranormal for me and took too long for me to get into, but fairly engrossing once it got going.

I had high hopes for this as I loved Black Cake, but I was kind of frustrated with it and coincidences that kept happening.

It‘s not really my kind of book, I prefer heavier literary fiction and science fiction over historical fiction and romantic storylines, but I did enjoy the historical parts more than the modern day parts.

The book is about a jar made by an enslaved potter, a murder, and a wedding that doesn‘t go to plan.

Low pick for me, I was annoyed at the chapters narrated by the octopus and I guess I dislike knowing things the characters have yet to figure out. It seemed very obvious to me what was going to happen even from the start.

Still, I was enjoying it more than the other book I‘m reading so that pushes it more into the pick category I guess?

LoverOfLearning On my list of 40 books to read! Hope I enjoy it. 3mo
Kitta @LoverOfLearning most people really enjoyed it! The rating on goodreads is 4.28. I worked at a marine biology station for a bit and we had an octopus we were studying, so maybe the slight inaccuracy was too much for me 😆 3mo

julesG Good advice, but I wouldn't follow it either. I try to keep as little tension on the yarn as possible and then there are a few stitches when I tightened it up. Obviously I only notice that several rows down 🤦🏻‍♀️🤬 4mo

Really interesting story of the world‘s most prolific art thief - who doesn‘t steal for financial gain but rather for being able to possess the beauty of the works himself. A deep dive into his psychology, relationships, and crimes.

I kept falling asleep when trying to read this at the beginning so I‘m making this as a 3.75 instead of a 4. I think I‘m just super exhausted right now though.

Read for #sharreadathon

Finished this for #ohcanada a few days ago and forgot to update.

Amazing book looking into the effects and horrors of residential schools and treatment of #indigenous Canadians. Told as the story of a young boy, Saul Indian Horse, as he grows up.

Really interesting insight. Be prepared if you don‘t understand hockey to read a lot about it. I think it would be fine if you don‘t know a lot but as a fan this was a bonus for me.
