I spent a long weekend in the woods and never touched my phone. It was just what I needed to recharge. 💚💚💚 #haikuhive #haikuaday

pickForest Green starts in 1995, when the main character, Arthur Lunn, is homeless and badly beaten in the streets of Vancouver. The story then travels backwards to 1934, when Art was seven years old and witnessed an event that would shape the rest of his life. The rest of the novel follows Art through the decades and explores how his childhood trauma and the guilt that accompanies it continues to haunt him. ⬇️
pickA quiet novel that follows one person‘s life from a 1930s childhood in BC‘s Okanagan to old age in Vancouver. Growing up during the depression, enlisting underage as a soldier in WWII, working for decades in forestry afterwards—an ultimately hopeful tale despite tragedies, frayed family connections and alcohol addiction. The #audiobook narration by Jonathan Widdifield kept me engaged throughout. #shadowgiller #canlit
so-soHeavy on dialogue and nothing too exciting.

Another trip to the library! I'm buried in books! 3 of the 4 are for the #ShadowGiller.
I'm really looking forward to reading Songs for the End of the World because Saleema Nawaz's Bone and Bread was fantastic. Songs has a nice heft to it too!
Have to read Forest Green first though - higher demand for it.
Noopiming is the other one tucked in there along with Sisters.
