The Globe and Mail just announced the winner of Canada Reads, which of course I'd love to read.

It costs US$34 in hardcover and US$15 in digital--no other format available--at amazon. Doubt it's much cheaper elsewhere.

So if it's banned in public libraries--or the libraries can't afford whatever multiple of that price the publisher is asking for--regular folk won't have access to it.

Great going, publishing.

I generally read non-fiction but this really hooked me! Delightfully creepy and suspenseful. It’s going to be a competitor on this season of #CBC #CanadaReads. #bookstodon #CurrentlyReading #CanadianAuthor #fiction

OK, she's not on Mastodon, but my friend JENNA BUTLER is on the #CanadaReads longlist and I'm so thrilled for her!! Her book REVERY: A YEAR OF BEES was a Governor General's Award finalist last year.

""I hope you're okay in there, lovelies. I hope you're warm." Starting with a rare bright day in late November, Jenna Butler takes us through a year in beekeeping on her small piece of the boreal forest.

The list! https://www.cbc.ca/books/canadareads/15-books-make-canada-reads-2023-longlist-1.6707758

Oh hold on, when I transferred my account I had to redo my #introduction post

I’m C. L. Polk. I’m a #writer: usually #fantasy, often a #novelist. I have five books out. Witchmark won the #WorldFantasyAward and #TheMidnightBargain was a #CanadaReads finalist.

I am black. I am #queer. I am #disabled. I am #neurodivergent. I’m also trying to get a very expensive therapy treatment funded that involves psychedelic assisted methods. (Link in bio.)

Thank you for reading.

I have just finished reading #LawrenceHill’s #TheBookofNegroes.” It won the #CommonwealthWritersPrize and #CBCRadio’s #CanadaReads in 2009. The book is riveting. It tells the story of a woman’s life from enslavement in Africa and North America to liberation. It’s a story of the #blackloyalists and the #abolitionists. I should have read it a long time ago. I’m happy I’ve read it now. #goodread #greatbook.
