Greetings readers!

We have seen the release of the Giller list - are you surprised? Which ones might you be looking forward to reading? At last we know the options for the Giller. Info square!

What have you finished? Started? What is next?

Have a wonderful long weekend full of turkey, pumpkin pie and gratefulness!!

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving weekend! It's been a slow reading week. I finished The Relatives by Camilla Gibb for book club and was disappointed in it. I am currently picking away at a few others including Fight Night by Miriam Toews, was happy to see her on the Giller list. I hope to gain some reading time on the weekend, I treated myself to The Strangers by Katherena Vermette so hope to dive in to it soon!

Happy Friday! I hope everyone has a good long weekend.

I got a lot of reading done this week, but mostly short books. :-) I finished The Souvenir Museum, We, Jane, and The Pursuit of Endurance: Harnessing the Record-Breaking Power of Strength and Resilience and also read Zorrie.

Zorrie was fantastic - a quiet novel that tells the life story of an ordinary woman living in rural Indiana in less than 200 pages.

I'm currently reading On Fire: The Case for the Green New Deal for bingo and Fight Night for Giller prep. I'm also working on a book of short stories set in New Orleans, The Ones Who Don't Say They Love You: Stories

Happy Thanksgiving weekend!

This week, I am continuing to listen Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, though in nonfiction I did finish On Fire: The Case for the Green New Deal and Certain Woman of an Age. The latter, written and performed by Margaret Trudeau, was just the treat I didn't know I needed.

I am also reading Fight Night, my first Giller shortlist book. I was so happy to win a lovely hardcover edition in a giveaway!

Trivia: the mother of a girl I used to play with babysat Margaret Trudeau when she was a child and they used to go to their summer home. Also, the age difference between her and Pierre was the same as between my dad and my sister. As a child that flummoxed me!
