Bookwormjillk @ChaoticMissAdventures @ImperfectCJ I can't decide if I'm happy or sad I've heard of so many of them this year! 2mo
squirrelbrain I‘ve read 18, and own another 14. (Who said I have too many books?!) There‘s still a lot I haven‘t heard of though. I‘ve made a spreadsheet and I‘m figuring out where to get others from. 8 reserved at my local library so far…. 2mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @Bookwormjillk I know that feeling! I often feel overwhelmed and burn out so I think I like that I know of many of them. 2mo
Flaneurette This made my day! I've only read 7 but have a few on deck to read soon. My holds list is now full. Doing some research on the handful I hadn't heard of which is always fun.

Larkken Yesssss! 2mo
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I always like to see what makes the list. I've read exactly zero of them this year, but I've been reading a lot of older books this year. I have Sky Daddy & Wild Dark Shore on my shelves, so maybe I'll get to those and decide if I want to cheer for one of them to win. 2mo

In 90's Edmonton, Molly MacGregor dreams of a life worthy of her adored Penguin Classics and of writing The Great Canadian/Edmontonian Novel. But summers selling shoes at West Edmonton Mall and semesters with pretentious English Lit profs don't seem to be cutting it. But this year, she just might find truth and beauty in the place she finds herself.

Charming, witty, and thoroughly delightful. I loved spending time with Molly. Highly recommend!

"Last night, I found myself perusing the shelves in our family library the way one might gaze reflectively into the refrigerator looking for that perfect bedtime snack."

"What's weirder," Eugenie asked, "that Maureen has so many shoe-store guys after her or that they're all named Gordon?"
"Being surrounded by Gordons does seem to be a distinctly Canadian occurrence."

This book provides a great opportunity to discuss differing opinions. It can be used to work on opinion writing and debates in the classroom.

This is a whimsical tale about a school that keeps adding extra days, leaving students longing for a break. With playful prose and delightful illustrations, it emphasizes the joys of learning while reminding readers the importance of balance. This charming story encourages young readers to appreciate both education and the joys of life outside the classroom.
