Oh, Canada! | Per-Henrik G�rth

Reposting for @Jess861
The #OhCanada book club is going to head to Three Pines for the last read of 2025. Read any of the Louise Penny books depending where you are in the series or a book you maybe want to reread. There will likely be a few different books read so discussion question(s) will still be posted at the end but will be high level as to spoil any of the books.
All are welcome to join this low key bi-monthly read of Canadian authors.

Jess861 Thanks so much! 1mo

Oh, Canada! | Per-Henrik G�rth

Just a reminder that there is about a month left in the September/October #OhCanada read for those who are interested in this book.

Also wondering what the interest is in continuing in 2026. I've enjoyed hosting so I'm happy to keep it going if there is still interest. The bi-monthly cadence works well for me, does it work well for you? Also, if you are interested do you have any authors you would like to read? Types of books you enjoy?

Tamra Thank you for the reminder! 1mo

Ruthiella I‘d love to continue. I‘d personally like to read some classic Can Lit. Like maybe Mordecai Richler or Margaret Lawrence. 1mo

Jess861 @Tamra No worries! I felt like I was bogging you guys down with posts so I wasn't always doing the reminder - but I think it might be good because it's bi-monthly. Will keep up with the reminders 😊 1mo

Jess861 @Ruthiella Sounds great! Definitely happy to add some classics into the mix! 1mo

mcctrish Thank you for the reminder, I need to dig this out of my death tower and yes please to more Can Lit 1mo

Jess861 @mcctrish Sounds good! 1mo

kwmg40 I‘m happy to continue and also good with more classics. I love Robertson Davies‘s works and would also be happy to see some French Canadian authors such as Gabrielle Roy. 1mo

Jess861 @kwmg40 Thanks so much for the input - noted 😊 1mo

Blueberry I'm good to continue into the new year. 1mo

Jess861 @Blueberry Sounds good! 1mo

Kitta Happy to continue! I‘m moving end of October but finished three day road already. The two month cadence is good for me because I‘m part of a bunch of other book clubs 😆 1mo

lauraisntwilder I'd like to keep going! 😊 1mo

PurpleyPumpkin I‘ve enjoyed digging into the work of our talented Canadian authors! Would love to continue. 👍🏽 1mo

Jess861 @Kitta @lauraisntwilder @PurpleyPumpkin - Thanks! I'll definitely be continuing in 2026 since most seem to be enjoying it! 1mo

Singout I have just discovered it, but might be interested in 2026! 2w

Oh, Canada! | Per-Henrik G�rth

Thought it would be fun to go with a bit of a different genre for the next book.

1. Still Life - Book 1 of a well loved Canadian mystery series. Book 20 comes out this year so plenty more to read if you enjoy the series.
2. Pattern Recognition - Book 1 of a science fiction series. There are 3 books in this series.

Full disclosure - I mainly read fiction so I haven't read either of these - but would love to discover a new author with you all!

Jess861 #OhCanada #CanadianAuthors #BookClub #BuddyRead @LitsyEvents 1mo

Jess861 I ran out of space but I'd also like to note that William Gibson (Pattern Recognition) is Canadian but was born/raised in America and has lived in Canada for most of his adult life. This does not bother me as many Canadian authors not solely Canadian. Just wanted to note it though. (edited) 1mo

Ruthiella My vote goes to Pattern Recognition, even though I didn‘t love Neuromancer. I read Still Life a few years ago. I‘m not a Three Pines fan, unfortunately. 😂 But I could try it again. 1mo

Jess861 @Ruthiella Noted - I'm sure if we go the mystery route you could read the second book or another in the series if you wanted too instead of the first one again, lol. 1mo

mcctrish I love Louise Penny and 🌲🌲🌲 but if we go with the science fiction I bet my husband would love it (edited) 1mo

Tamra I am overbooked and feeling the pressure.😅 I will sit this one out, but I do love the Penny series. 🌲🌲🌲 (edited) 1mo

CarolynM I‘m a Three Pines fan and very much NOT a sci-fi fan. I‘ll read the most recent Penny if you go that way, or hold my nose and try the Gibson 😆 1mo

kwmg40 I‘ve read both of these so I don‘t have a preference, but I‘ll be happy to join in the discussion of whichever book is chosen. 1mo

lauraisntwilder Penny gets my vote. I've always meant to read her. 1mo

Jess861 @Ruthiella - Vote noted! From what I've read, Pattern Recognition is less science fiction and a bit more thriller then Neuromancer. 1mo

Jess861 @Tamra Totally fair 🙂 - such a busy time of year. If we do go with the Penny series you're more than welcome to join the discussions even if you don't read one when we're reading. 1mo

Jess861 @mcctrish Good to know! 1mo

Jess861 @CarolynM Thanks - vote noted! 1mo

Jess861 @kwmg40 Sounds good! Feel free to read along with any Louise Penny book if you want if we go that route. I think I'll open it up to any Louise Penny book and just leave the discussion more about the author and general things about the series (if we do go that route). Seems like alot of people have already read some of Louise Penny 1mo

Jess861 @lauraisntwilder Thanks! Vote noted. 1mo

PurpleyPumpkin I just read Still Life earlier this year! So, I‘ll vote for Pattern Recognition for this round. 1mo

Jess861 @PurpleyPumpkin Thanks! Noted. 1mo

Kitta Happy with either! I wasn‘t a huge fan of Neuromancer but Pattern recognition sounds more up my alley than Still life. But on the other hand I don‘t think I‘ve read a cosy mystery before so maybe I‘ll be pleasantly surprised! 1mo

Jess861 @Kitta Thanks! Noted. 1mo

Blueberry I will read the next of the Louise Penny series. 1mo

Jess861 @Blueberry Thanks for your vote! 1mo

Repost for @Jess861

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) 3mo

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! 3mo

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 3mo

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. 3mo

Jess861 @mcctrish @Kitta @Tamra - thanks for the votes - noted :) 3mo

Tamra @mcctrish “death tower” 😂 3mo

PurpleyPumpkin As I haven‘t read it yet, I‘ll vote for Three Day Road. 🗳️ 3mo

Jess861 @PurpleyPumpkin Thanks for the vote - noted 😊 3mo

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)

3mo

Jess861 @Ruthiella Thanks for the vote - it is noted 😊 3mo

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. 3mo

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. 😄 3mo

Jess861 @CarolynM No worries - such a busy time of year!! 3mo

Jess861 @Blueberry Thanks - noted 😊 3mo

lauraisntwilder I'm voting for Moon of the Crusted Snow, but they both sound good. 3mo

Jess861 @lauraisntwilder Thanks for the vote - noted 😊 3mo

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