January reads (plus one more missing from the photo) - I had a great month of reading!

My last read of the year, book #83, was a page-turner to say the least! I love this series and this may be one of Penny’s best. #agoodreadingyear

Love the Hallowe’en Spirit ⁦@yvrairport⁩ !

Ready for my favourite event ⁦@VanWritersFest⁩ 😍

Another excellent event ⁦@VanWritersFest⁩ Ukrainian author Andrey Kurkov was so interesting to listen to.

Another great event ⁦@VanWritersFest⁩ with Ann Cleeves this evening! (And always happy to see the lanterns 😍)

“Finding Joy Amid Turmoil” with inspiring writers, and gracious host ⁦@elamin88⁩ was a perfect opener to the week ⁦@VanWritersFest⁩

It was a great start to the ⁦@VanWritersFest⁩ season!

My reading prep for our upcoming trip to Greece continues. This one is *so* Atwood: The story of Penelope as only she could tell it.

It’s that time of year 😍🍁

This was sweet. An easy read when you want something light.

Sept non-fiction reading goal choice: pub’d in 2009, this is a lovely dual memoir by mother and daughter, traveling together and each on a personal quest. Made me want to re-visit The Secret Life of Bees, too.

Reading goal, Sept. choice: pub’d 2005, prob bought in 2006 when we lived in Florida, on my shelf ever since. Finalist for Orange Prize, I sometimes loved it, sometimes liked it, sometimes was puzzled by it, happy I finally read it 😅 There’s a movie, maybe I’ll watch it.

Long listed for the Booker, I was hand sold this book at my local independent bookstore ⁦⁦@book_warehouse⁩ and am SO thankful for the recommendation; it blew me away with an historical plot point I didn’t even know about. Superbly plotted, intense, excellent.

I loved this one. I don’t know (remember) much of Greek mythology; Miller brings it all to such glorious life.

Reading goal, August, pub’d 1999, on my shelf ?? It grew on me; a story of women’s friendship, and grief, primarily, but so much more. Ironically, it seems I am also a “book borrower” as when I opened the cover I found ⁦@Margaretb_yvr⁩ name inside. Returning after ?? years!

Sign up! Lots of things happening with our son and company! 😍

Non-fiction reading goal, August selection. Published 1988, nominated for a Governor General’s award, tells the story of west B.C. coast one-man salmon-troller fisherman John Daly in the 1970’s. Very detailed and interesting.

My all time favourite Jim Byrnes song ⁦@harmonyartswv⁩

Loving Jim Byrnes ⁦@harmonyartswv⁩ - as always- but sure wish we could hear his talk between numbers - sound people, please, this was also an issue two years ago.
