Other Worlds by Andre Alexis

Book Review: Other Worlds by André Alexis

I finally got around to a Canadian author I’ve been meaning to read, wanting to read, feeling like I was the only book lover who hadn’t read him yet: André Alexis. His latest collection of short stories Other Worlds was released just a few weeks ago, and as May is short story month, I dove…

The Capital of Dreams by Heather O'Neill

Book Review: The Capital of Dreams by Heather O’Neill

This is the first Heather O’Neill book I’ve ever read, and as a Canadian who prides myself on reading widely, I’m embarrassed to admit that! O’Neill has written a few works of fiction, many of them award-winners, so I was delighted when I could join the band of O’Neill fans after I read her latest…

Brooklyn and Long Island by Colm Toibin

Book Review: Brooklyn and Long Island by Colm Toíbín

I’d like to say I planned ahead of time to read and write the reviews of one of Ireland’s most famous authors in the month of March, but I’ll admit to this all happening by happy accident instead. Last year, a publicist sent me the latest release from Colm Toíbín, excited that he had finally…

The Treasure Hunters Club by Tom Ryan

Book Review: The Treasure Hunters Club by Tom Ryan

As you can tell by my tropical photo above, I was visiting warmer climes as of late. When I find myself in a dreaded airport, I always make sure to check out the books on sale because I’m curious to see what’s popular, and what constitutes a ‘beach read’ for most. I was delighted to…

The Life Impossible by Matt Haig

Book Review: The Life Impossible by Matt Haig

A new book by Matt Haig always seems to turn into a publishing ‘event’. He’s a bestselling author with many hits under his belt, but his latest release The Life Impossible seemed to have slipped under the radar – I haven’t seen it on many lists since it came out in September. It’s still considered…

Moon Road by Sarah Leipciger

Book Review: Moon Road by Sarah Leipciger

Sarah Leipciger is one of those quiet, Canlit writers who release books that are well-written, well-reviewed, but tend to stay under the radar, so my international readers likely aren’t familiar with her. I reviewed another one of her books here if you are curious. And I’m always happy to introduce new readers to her! About…

Madwoman by Chelsea Bieker

Book Review: Madwoman by Chelsea Bieker

I wasn’t sure what to think of Madwoman by Chelsea Bieker when it first arrived on my doorstep – was this a thriller, or a work of literary fiction? The cover was difficult to decipher, until I saw that Ashley Audrain had blurbed it. Ah yes, a thriller then. For those who follow along with…

The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley book

Book Review: The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley

I had been meaning to read The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley when it first hit my doorstep almost a full year ago, but I never seemed to get around to it (story of my life, and my bookshelf). When I saw how much attention it was getting, plus it’s appearance on the Top…

Rosenfeld by Maya Kessler book

Book Review: Rosenfeld by Maya Kessler

I was immediately intrigued by the cover of the novel Rosenfeld, by Maya Kessler. It was designed to look like a movie rating, with the capital letter “R”, and the subtitle A Grown-Up Love Story for Grown-Ups. Although I’ll read an occasional romance novel (typically when it’s centered around a holiday), I do prefer the…

The Gift Child by Elaine McCluskey book

Book Review: The Gift Child by Elaine McCluskey

A few months ago I read a review of The Gift Child by Elaine McCluskey by fellow blogger Naomi, which piqued my interest in reading it too. I love a group of quirky characters! it’s also one aspect of a book’s setting that I enjoy about cozy mysteries (which this isn’t one!!!) but it’s definitely…

A Season in Chezgh'un by Darrel J. McLeod book

Book Review: A Season in Chezgh’un by Darrel J. McLeod

It was by luck alone that I found myself reading the debut novel by Indigenous Canadian author Darrel J.McLeod, in the same small town his bio claimed he lived. * The picture above is taken in Sooke British Columbia, where I was vacationing with my family in August, which also happens to be the place…

Tom Lake by Ann Patchett book

Book Review: Tom Lake by Ann Patchett

Just like my review of Lessons in Chemistry from a few weeks ago, I finally purchased and read Tom Lake by Ann Patchett, a Reese’s Book Club Pick, because everyone raved about it and said I had to read it. Like many book recommendations I receive, they were right. This book is lovely. Ann Patchett…
