O Canada | Ted Harrison

My dearest @mcctrish, what a lovely gift. I feel honored to be worthy enough to cherish this Canadian ornament. I have even looked into moving there and am beyond bummed that I probably can't. I don't blame your country one bit for not wanting us USA nutcrackers up there! Here's to the July birthday 🦀 babes! Thank you, m'dear. ♥️🇨🇦🤍

mcctrish So glad it finally got there 2w

LiseWorks You can come and visit anytime. 2w

dabbe @mcctrish @Liseworks ... I'll have to find a way to make it all the way across the country! 😍 2w

AnnCrystal Bummer 🇨🇦🆒. Yet you're needed here. America is our home, and she needs us all to remain to vote for change ✊🏼🦅✌🏼💝. (edited) 2w

dabbe @AnnCrystal 😍😘🤗 2w

Oh, Canada! | Per-Henrik G�rth

Repost for @Jess861

Helen Knott does not have as many books as some of the other Canadian authors we have explored but she does have these two memoirs. Either memoir will be a good but hard read. Please let me know which book you would prefer to read for the July/August read of #OhCanada.

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

Ruthiella I like the idea of mixing in memoir! I vote for

In My Own Moccasins: A Memoir of Resilience

(edited) 2mo

PurpleyPumpkin Oof these both sound like heavy but important reads. Hard to choose just one! So, I‘ll go with her first book. But I‘m happy to read either.

JenlovesJT47 I read Becoming A Matriarch and I loved it. It‘s a quick read. I downloaded the other one but haven‘t read it yet. Either is a good choice! 2mo

kwmg40 Becoming a Matriarch is currently on my TBR list, so I‘ll vote for that one. 2mo

JenlovesJT47 We read Becoming A Matriarch for #shesaid and everyone had a hard time finding a copy that wasn‘t super expensive. I do know a place where you can download them for free if you feel comfortable doing that. 2mo

CarolynM I‘m behind with my #OhCanada reading, but I hope to join you for this one, whichever you choose 🙂 2mo

JuniperWilde Let me know which one you chose. 2mo

Jess861 @Ruthiella @PurpleyPumpkin @kwmg40 - thanks for your votes - noted 😊 2mo

Jess861 @JenlovesJT47 - good to know - they are so easily available where I live in Canada. I didn't realize they were a bit harder to find in other countries. 2mo

Jess861 @CarolynM - sounds good! 2mo

Jess861 @JuniperWilde - Will do - I'll have another post with the book that is voted for. Going to give it a few more days in case people want to vote and weren't on during the week. 2mo

It is Election Day here in Canada, and I've been oscillating wildly between cautiously optimistic and absolute bundle of nerves weighed down by the boulder of dread in my stomach. I may or may not sleep tonight. Wish us luck!

BarbaraBB Happy for you and the rest of the world with the results ❤️🤍 3mo

DogMomIrene As a PR I‘m so elated with the results. Canadians did not disappoint ❤️🇨🇦🍁 3mo

TheKidUpstairs @BarbaraBB @DogMomIrene 🎉 I'm so relieved. And I'm glad they were able to call it early so I could actually get a good night's sleep! 3mo

TheKidUpstairs @Cortg @TheBookHippie @Kerrbearlib @Ruthiella thank you all for your good wishes and crossed fingers! While we didn't get the Liberal majority I would have liked to see, I'm still relieved by the results. It looks like lots of strategic voting took place to keep the politics of division and distrust from winning. 3mo

TheBookHippie @TheKidUpstairs I was watching into the night!!! I agree. Relieved. 3mo

I thought we could explore Genevieve Graham as an author for the next #OhCanada read. She has written a number of books with many of them being Canadian historical fiction set around war times. She also has a new book coming out in April 2025. Please vote if you'd like. All are welcome to join this low key read.

I thought we could explore Genevieve Graham as an author for the next #OhCanada read. She has written a number of books with many of them being Canadian historical fiction set around war times. She went to school to be a musician and only started writing books at the age of 40! She also has a new book coming out in April 2025. Please vote if you'd like to and if it is a tie I will flip a coin. All are welcome to join this low key read.

Oh, Canada! | Per-Henrik G�rth

Just wanted to put this out to those who are participating (or thinking of) - is there a particular genre you'd like to read next and if you like voting on the next pick or would rather I just pick one book? I'm happy to go any way - want to pick books that people are interested in reading! I was thinking another historical fiction for the next read and then maybe something lighter in the summer. Always love hearing from you all 😊!
