#BookReview: A New New Me by Helen Oyeyemi

A unique and somewhat confusing tale of Kinga and her 7 alters. Each alter leaves a diary entry for the next, but one of them must be keeping secrets.

#BookReview: 6:40 to Montreal by Eva Jurczyk

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Not your mom's murder-on-a-train mystery, this is a page-turner of a psychological thriller with a pinch of weird-girl-fiction for flavour.

Canada Post is on strike again, so reminder:

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

New Blog Post: Iceland: The Night Guest (Diplomatica’s ‘Great Reads’)

In which I ponder why the Icelandic embassy chose a dark, eerie, literary horror novella to represent Iceland's culture and literature. (Not that I'm complaining. I loved it!)

Incidentally, this is the first time I've read anything (Audition and Flashlight) from the Booker Prize long or shortlist before they were announced, and I read both on recommendations from Bookfinity. Not sponsored, just really really love that bookish resource!

#BookReview: Audition by Katie Kitamura

Weirdly enjoyable and thought-provoking. It isn’t for everyone, but if you like a mind-bending, introspective, plot-free character study, be sure to check this one out.
