5/5🌟I loved this book! It looked so deeply at the destructiveness of family secrets, grief and trauma.
These characters!! They were all so vivid and real to me. Add all the family dynamics going on and thos was so very engrossing! Original and excellently written as well. I was so interested in this book, its why I love these kinds of family stories, they are so emotionally absorbing! Reccomend checking this one out! #canlit #readthenorth

4/5🌟for this illuminating memoir! In Every Little Scrap And Wonder Funk reflects on her childhood, growing up in a Mennonite community in a small logging town in British Columbia. Telling stories of her girlhood and family. I found myself curious from the first page and ended up really enjoyed it! Her writing is tender, vivid and beautiful. #bookreview #readthenorth #canlit

Oh my gosh, I enjoyed this book as much as Son Of A Trickster. Eden Robinson is a master at quirky, witty, and the supernatural. #readthenorth #recommend #EdenRobinson

I loved this book! Eden Robinson‘s way with dialogue had me chuckling even when situations in the book were definitely not amusing. There was humour, there was depth to the characters, there was all the feels. #readthenorth #gillarprizefinalst #favourite #octoberread

Here is my book haul from the Saskatchewan Festival of Words held in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. I spent a lovely weekend listening to author readings, going to my first ever poetry slam, and attending a cookbook inspired rooftop dinner. #canlit #readthenorth #canadianauthors

Listened to this debut YA by Canadian author Nafiza Azah and really enjoyed it. Engaging setting, complex characters, and plenty of action. #readthenorth

A little bit late going out, but this baby is on its way to you @Tianarose

Tianarose Yeah! 5y
Tianarose @TheKidUpstairs I still haven‘t gotten this book. 😫I‘m holding out that it will show up tomorrow. I‘m really hoping it didn‘t get lost. (edited) 5y
TheKidUpstairs @Tianarose oh no! I've got the receipt somewhere, I'll check if there's tracking. It should have been there by now. Fingers crossed it's just delayed. I'll let you know what I can find out. 5y

TheKidUpstairs @Tianarose I was at the post office this morning, and this is what I've found out. The package is on its way back to me, the packaging was damaged and it is undeliverable in its current state. I'm crossing my fingers that it is just the outer packaging that got damaged and not the book itself. It's expected back to me today or tomorrow. Hopefully I can just repackage and reship 🤞 If not, I'll haves to buy a new copy and ship it out. 5y
TheKidUpstairs @Tianarose @ShelleyBooksie @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego (see previous comment) we're delayed for this round, sorry guys! Hopefully we'll be back on track soon, but books will be delayed getting back to their original owners. On that note, I also haven't received a book this month so I think Shelley is a bit behind too. Hopefully no big problems, and all will be back on track soon. I've really enjoyed the various selections thus far! 5y
Tianarose @TheKidUpstairs that sucks! Good thing it‘s the last book in the swap too. 5y
TheKidUpstairs Okay, good news update: I got the package back, and while the envelope had been pretty ripped up, the damage didn't make it through the bubble wrap to the book itself, so I just need to repackage and resend! @Tianarose @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @ShelleyBooksie (and, I received a package from Shelley today, too!) 5y
Tianarose @TheKidUpstairs great news! Hopefully they treat it nicely this time around! (edited) 5y
ShelleyBooksie Yay! Glad to hear that the books arrived. I look forward to what you thought of my choice. It was not what I had expected it to be 5y
