Northern Wildflower | Catherine Lafferty

Starting this one now. As the resume claims, hoping for insight into real issues many Indigenous women face in the light of family ties, education, spirituality, cultural identity, health happiness and courage to speak the truth. ▪️I wonder what it is about the timing in my life, but this is my 3rd book by native authors from Canada this summer. I had never read any before 🤷🏻‍♀️ #ReadCanada #WomanAuthor #NorthWestTerritories #BAnQ

MsMelissa Looking forward to your review of this one. 4y

#BAnQ finally reopened 2 days ago. Beautiful day to come to a deserted downtown Montreal to get 2 of my #ReadCanada books that I could not borrow from my local suburb library or digitally. Added bonus, easiest parking ever! #CanLit #WomenCanLit

The Library Book | Susan Orlean

First time I read about my philosophy about not owning books. Pleasantly validated 😉

Mrs_B I like this! 5y

MsMelissa To each their own, but this is definitely not how I look at books 😂 I have thousands of books in my house, and I‘m at utmost peace when I‘m surrounded by them. I haven‘t read them all yet, and keep buying more, but to me there is nothing better than a home filled with (well organized and ordered) books 📚 5y

MsMelissa Ah, I should add that my husband probably wishes my philosophy was more inline with yours. His favourite thing to say when getting the mail is, “oh look, more books” 😂😂 5y

Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira @Book_Fiend_Melissa 🤣 We need to handle books the way it answers our needs. Having to many items in my house, books or else, overwhelmes me to a point of paralysis. I should add that , once the kids are out, my partner and I will be moving into a Tiny House. Not the extremely tiny, but TINY. 5y

MsMelissa My husband doesn‘t like it when his TBR pile is too big (which for him is about 50 books), but I would start getting bothered if mine were too small (50 is too small for me) 😂 I seriously feel bad for our movers when we downsize, cause even though we‘ll move to a smaller home I plan on having a bigger home library 😜 5y

Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira @Book_Fiend_Melissa you crack me up 😆 My partner doesn‘t read and I borrow most books digitally, which is a technology blessing; my library was closed a little over 3 months. If I can‘t find it within my friends who buy, my city‘s network, the provincial national library #BAnQ carries almost anything I look for. I will only buy, after I‘ve exhausted all options or if it‘s a reference book, I will need to use regularly. 5y

MsMelissa I think I might single handedly keep Chapters-Indigo in business with the number of books I buy each year. They had a promo once that was only for their top 10% of Plum rewards members and I was one of them 😬. Good thing books are my only purchasing addiction (oh, and mugs). 5y

Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira @Book_Fiend_Melissa Really Top 10% ? It‘s a honorable addiction, no need to detox ?? Yé for mugs, they partner so well with reading ? 5y

Lindy I‘m not big on owning books either. I buy a couple every month, mostly to support local authors and small presses, but most of my reading is thanks to the library. After reading a book that I own, I usually find a new home for it and pass it along. 5y

Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira Yes, I buy provincial sometimes and then give them away or as gifts. I also buy youth books for this fondation. https://www.fondationalphabetisation.org/en/program/the-gift-of-reading/ I like supporting their mission 💗 5y

A Gentleman in Moscow: A Novel | Amor Towles

Excited to finally be starting this one. I‘ve always been curious about Russian people and culture. It was strongly recommanded by one of my best friends a little while ago.

TheSpineView One of my all time favorites! 💕 5y

4⭐️ - Quels bons moments passés avec Pamela! J‘ai été charmée par la fantaisie et la sagesse de ce roman. Pamela et Thad y existent dans des univers singuliers remplis de complexités rassurantes mais vulnérables. J‘y ai relevé plusieurs extraits qui m‘ont fait raisonner. Quelques longueurs durant le passage au Japon, mais quand même très divertissant. Léger et profond à la fois. #sedecouvrirautre #2020Josee #BAnQ #empruntnumerique #franco

Before We Were Yours: A Novel | Lisa Wingate

pick

#4stars - The settings of the River Gypsies and the Politicians were interestingly written about; just enough details and nuances. The political privilege of the Stanford family was skilfully expressed by Avery and gave me thoughts to ponder. I got attached to Rill & Avery and was intrigued by the plot as much as I was appalled by the historic events behind Rill‘s struggles. #siblinglove #adoption #heartwarmingending #BAnQ #2020Josee

We Are All Made of Molecules | Susin Nielsen-Fernlund

#Audiobookoftheday, or probably of the next two days, back on #libby thanks to #BAnQ being functional again. Yup, I really need a story to focus, it's kinda ridiculous.
