Page-turner/unusual plot. I loved the unfolding of who Ben really is, why he is abruptly fired from his job and why people are being blown up on a racing subway because of his presence. Unexpected backstory and twists, and satisfying ending. #booksky #bookbirthday

Life: A Love Story, a novel by Elizabeth Berg.

Life: A Love Story, a novel by Elizabeth Berg.

#booksky Elizabeth Berg's new book, Life: A Love Story, is a poignant read. Sentimental, down to earth, filled with life lessons. You will weep, but it will be a good weep.

Bucha, a must watch film about the first days of Russia's war on Ukraine. Available on Prime, Apple, Google play.

Gut-punching and true. #Bucha is a must watch movie based on true events during the first weeks of Russia's war on Ukraine. Not an easy watch but ultimately uplifting. #Ukrainewar

Vicki Grant's first adult novel. These Are the Fireworks.

Vicki Grant's first adult novel. These Are the Fireworks.

These Are the Fireworks by Vicki Grant. At the beginning, the reader is plunged in off-kilter and can't help but read on. As the layers peel away, the true crime reveals itself and the resolution is oh-so satisfying on so many levels.

Freedom to Read Week: Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch Freedom to Read Week is a time to remember and preserve our intellectual right to read any book we wish to. But if the book doesn’t exist, how do we know what we don’t know? Since Russia launched it...

This is Freedom to Read Week and the 4th and 12th anniversaries of Russia's genocidal war on Ukraine
When books are banned, we can know them. But when the author is killed, their voice is silenced. #booksky #Ukraine www.lecarmichael.ca/2026/02/free...

Heather Marshall's novel, Liberty Street.

Heather Marshall's novel, Liberty Street.

Heather Marshall's enthralling novel set in 1960s Toronto is about a journalist who gets herself into a women's prison so she can document the injustices, but then has trouble getting out. A must read! #booksky #Canadian #canlit

More Than Enoough, new book by Anna Quindlen.

More Than Enoough, new book by Anna Quindlen.

#booksky In signature style of Anna Quindlen, the reader is emotionally captivated by the complex lives of regular people as she delves into the question of family, friendship and what is required for a fulfilling life. #netgally #RandomHouse

Loved reading about occupations and lives of common women. It was illuminating, reading all the reasons why women would choose a monastic life. Not at all what you might think! #booksky @netgalley.bsky.social #penandsword

A choice is made that will bring in buckets of cash, but will harm the very people they've vowed to help. Reading the fallout of this horrible decision made for pageturning intensity and a sick stomach. #SharonBala #PenguinRandomCA #NetGalley #IReadCanadian

Cover of Discipline, by Larissa Pham.

#Discipline. Happy #Bookbirthday! I love the structure of this story, with Christine on tour with her first novel, which is highly personal, secret, and now out there in the form of a revenge fantasy against a powerful man in her past. Beautifully written. @randomhouse.bsky.social #LarissaPham
