Just finished And the Birds Rained Down by Jocelyn Saucier. She is originally from NB although lives in PQ now. What a contemplative book! i just wish it had not ended so soon. https://ayearofbooksblog.com/2016/05/...

Emmkay | 252 comments Anything by David Adams Richards. The only one I've read so far is Mercy Among the Children.

I can only read his books once every few years, lol, they are too depressing. Mind you I've only read three and Mercy was my favorite.

I need some more ideas for my NB Cross Canada challenge... I have read both And the Birds Rained Down (LOVED it) and Mercy Among the Children as mentioned above and looking for other author options...

Diane (Tvor) | 357 comments I've just read The Town That Drowned by Riel Nason which I really enjoyed. It's 'coming of age' type of thing but quite good.

Allison ༻hikes the bookwoods༺ (allisonhikesthebookwoods) | 1783 comments I'm planning to read Measha Brueggergosman's book, Something Is Always On Fire: My Life So Far, for New Brunswick. She is from Fredericton I think. She has a beautiful voice, not just for singing, so I'm hoping there will be an audiobook forthcoming with her narrating.
