Updated schedule for #SheSaid!
We had 1 book with 5 votes (Wild Swans) and 4 with 4 votes. I added them all to our schedule for 2026 along with our 2 fiction reads. I did bump Wild Swans back to March, so we could read it and the follow-up book by the author after (and hopefully 🤞 when the hold lines at the library are not so long 😬). Then there were about 12 books tied after that…so new vote this summer.

Just picked up my copy of Still Life from the library for the #OhCanada read. I've heard nothing but good things about this series, including from the Librarian that was checking my books out!
I'll post a discussion point at the end of December. It will be a brief, high level discussion post since people are reading various books in the series.
All are welcome to join this bi-monthly read where we explore Canadian authors.

Well #authoramonth readers, we have arrived in December, which brings us to Nora Roberts.
I started The Awakening today, which is the first in her fantasy trilogy. I‘m enjoying it more than I expected to!
Feel free to include any of her pen names in your reading this month, including the popular JD Robb books.
Do you know what you‘ll be reading?

It's time to select #QueerBC authors for 2026. Thank you to everyone that suggested authors! It is a great list to pick from
I used a random picker to select 3 choices for each month. Vote for the one you most want to read. Vote here: https://forms.gle/MATW5nZ2JjospzYh8
Voting will close 21st December
I've also asked if people want authors announced monthly or as a lot at the beginning of the year. Both work for me

Happy December! I completely forgot to consider posting in advance, but I will be doing my annual reread of Letters from Father Christmas if anyone wants to join me. The schedule is just a general plan to spread the letters out over the days between now and Christmas. Please share your thoughts as you read!

I‘m happy to share next year‘s #LiteraryCrew ‘s reading list! Roughly 20 Littens voted on the list of titles, which is an amazing number.
The clear top votes went to Passing and Radar Girls. Passing technically had the most votes, but I think it‘s a good book to read for Black History Month.
If you would like to be included on the tag list, please let me know! All are welcome! #BuddyRead

Our final read of the year for #VirginiaBloomsberries is considered her most experimental work. The Waves was published in 1931. It records the individual accounts of six children of their lives and friendship from childhood to adulthood. VW uses the third-person narrative to show their point of view.
I'll be posting the reads for 2026 soon.
All are welcome. Please let me know if you wish to be added/removed from the taglist.

This year we'll start with some classic Canadian literature as requested. This is the Jan/Feb vote on which Margaret Laurence book we'd like to read.
