sarahbarnes I‘ve just recently added Gallant to my list! 3d
merelybookish @sarahbarnes I've never read her and it seems like I should have by now! 2d
sarahbarnes Same! 2d
JuniperWilde Absolutely! 🇨🇦✊🏻🇨🇦 2d
JuniperWilde It‘s amazing tho. I went to the bookstore last week and by my guess 90% of the books are by US authors. That‘s got to change. 2d
JuniperWilde I‘m all for great books by authors from anywhere. And let‘s have more Cdn writers on our bookshelves. Do you have a too five Cdn books you‘ve read recently? 2d
merelybookish @JuniperWilde I don't read that much Canadian and I'd like to change that. The last CDN book I read was Held by Anne Michaels which I didn't like. But I'd recommend the tagged book. Also recommend following @lindy if you don't already as she reads and reviews a lot of Canlit 1d
Lindy @JuniperWilde @merelybookish Gallant‘s Paris Stories are fab. I see Nancy Huston and Tanya Tagaq on Margot‘s stack too. 👍 Here‘s a few more Canadian authors I enjoy: Helen Humphreys, Emma Donoghue, Marian Toews, Vivek Shraya, Kim Thuy and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson. 1d
merelybookish @Lindy Thanks! Some new ones to add to my list. 1d

My book club's pick for March, so I gave it a go. Bailing 45% in. It's not bad, it just jumps around, and I alternated between uninterested (not really interested in reading a detailed account about buying boots in Paris) and fiercely jealous (free outdoor exercise spaces within 5 minutes of every resident??). Although I do feel even better about being mistaken for French while I was in Spain. Perhaps I'm less unstylish than I thought.

ImperfectCJ And I hope this photo doesn't seem like bragging. We had a weird 80+ degree (Fahrenheit) Santa Ana day here today, and I had a lovely walk in the sunshine. It goes back to chilly tomorrow, and I go back to sweatpants. 4d
BarbaraBB Fab photo! 🤩 4d

I‘m pretty sure I read this years ago. It is good to have a copy.

Did I just now finish the #SundayBuddyRead from November 2024? Yes indeed. There is nothing earth shattering in this and she feels like an unreliable narrator at times. Meh. @TheBookHippie
