Oh, Canada! | Per-Henrik G�rth

Sorry for the late post on the vote for the next book! Two different types of books by two authors. Please let me know which book you would prefer to read for the September/October read of #OhCanada . Moon of the Crusted Snow is the first of two books (so far) and Three Day Road is the first in a trilogy.

Anyone welcome to join in this easy going book club where we explore different Canadian authors every two months.

mcctrish I‘d love to read Three Day Road, I‘ve had it on my death tower for years (edited) 5d

Kitta Both sound really good! I‘d be happy with either but I‘m leaning towards

Tamra My vote is for Three Day Road. I read the other, it was great! 5d

TheKidUpstairs Both are great books, but if you are choosing from these as a way of reading Indigenous authors, please be aware of the controversies surrounding Boyden's ancestry claims: Author Joseph Boyden and his shape-shifting Indigenous identity https://share.google/mBFXjSnGW5xh4dGJd 5d

Jess861 @TheKidUpstairs - Thank you for letting us know about the controversies. These books weren't picked because of the authors ancestry. Just looking to explore well written books by Canadian authors. 5d

Jess861 @mcctrish @Kitta @Tamra - thanks for the votes - noted :) 5d

Tamra @mcctrish “death tower” 😂 5d

PurpleyPumpkin As I haven‘t read it yet, I‘ll vote for Three Day Road. 🗳️ 5d

Jess861 @PurpleyPumpkin Thanks for the vote - noted 😊 5d

Ruthiella Both are available at my libraries 👍 I think I am more curious to start with Boyden, since I have long heard about him as an author but not read anything yet.

Three Day Road (Revised)

Jess861 @Ruthiella Thanks for the vote - it is noted 😊 5d

CarolynM I‘m a bit over committed at the moment. I probably won‘t get to the current book, or the next one. Sorry. Hopefully I‘ll be able to join you for November/ December. 5d

Blueberry I've read Moon of the Crusted Snow. So I will vote for Three Day Road. I'm always up for reading a canoe trip through the northern wilderness. 😄 5d

Jess861 @CarolynM No worries - such a busy time of year!! 5d

Jess861 @Blueberry Thanks - noted 😊 5d

lauraisntwilder I'm voting for Moon of the Crusted Snow, but they both sound good. 4d

Jess861 @lauraisntwilder Thanks for the vote - noted 😊 4d

kwmg40 I‘ll vote for Three Day Road, as I‘ve read Moon of the Crusted Snow. 3d

Age of Innocence | Edith Wharton

I have kiddos in the house! As a non-mom, I don't know how you moms and grandmas do this! My godson (9-year-old), cousin (14-year-old), and mom are all visiting from Texas, and I am EXHAUSTED! Trying to entertain them - but also trying to have quiet time (my husband and I live in a dark, quiet home, usually - we aren't a fan of the “big lights“). Anyway, I am super behind on #HashtagBrigade #BuddyRead

Strange Houses: A Novel | Uketsu

so-so

This was a quick read and very odd. The premise isn't the oddest thing; the oddest thing is how the characters jump to bizarre conclusions as though they're not just plausible but the only rational explanation and get essentially no pushback. It feels a little like the author is a kid coming up with weird stories while playing with his action figures. I don't love Uketsu's books, but I'll keep reading them.

BarbaraBB I feel the same way. I will read

Strange Houses: A Novel

julesG I like the absurdity of the books, including the jumping to conclusions. 1w

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I was less sure about author as detective but I enjoyed the ride, crazy conclusion jumping and all. 1w

kwmg40 I really enjoyed this one. I'd read this a few years ago, but appreciate it more after reading the preceding Watch books in order. I especially liked the developing relationship between Angua and Carrot, and Carrot's fascination with the Dwarf Bread Museum. 1w

julesG @kwmg40 I'd really like to visit the Dwarf Bread Museum 1w

BarbaraJean It was interesting to read this after having read the Moist books—it's one of the first times I felt like I was reading things out of order. But I kind of like having the later books already in my head as a glimpse at the future of the golems! I loved how Pratchett uses golems to consider who counts as a person, setting that against other prejudices. @kwmg40 I love their relationship & am glad there are more books in which it can develop further! 1w

willaful I thought at first this was a little too similar to previous Watch books, but by the end I loved it. So genuinely poignant, and with so much heart and grace. Pratchett at his most humane. 1w

BookmarkTavern @kwmg40 I also really loved seeing Carrot and Angua‘s relationship, especially getting to see it from Angua‘s point of view. 5d

Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection | Brandon Sanderson

repost for @JacMac

I‘m not sure about this one. I tend to avoid short stories. I never like them. But maybe because they are connected I‘ll be okay. lol we are skipping White Sand. It‘s only short, but there‘s something about where it fits into the Cosmere. We will read it later. This reading order has worked so far, so I‘m going to trust it. #CosmereBuddyRead
