Finished Scott Alexander Howard's The Other Valley the other day. A lovely speculative story that seeps into you like a morning mist and asks you to consider what you would do if your past and future were only a hike away. #CanLit

Very excited to have provided interior design for this lovely book. Amazing photos by Marty Gervais interwoven with beautiful poems by Kim Fahner (kimfahner.bsky.social), Micheline Maylor (michelinemaylor.bsky.social), Teajai Travis, John B Lee and Peter Hrastovec. blackmosspress.com/product/and-...

Having watched the various TV adaptations and visited Green Gables in PEI, it's a wonder it's taken this long, but I've finally started reading Anne of Green Gables for the first time. Still early pages, but enjoying it so far. #canlit

Part 1 of my (this never happens) weekly reading roundup. Finished my first-ever romance novel, The Kiss Quotient. About as formulaic as I expected (not a negative, I wanted to learn the genre tropes). Spicier than I expected 👀. Not rushing for another but I liked it.

Only through the introduction and I'm already liking Mr. Leacock's humour.

Re-reading Huck Finn in prep for reading Percival Everett's James and came across this. Did Twain inspire Lee and Ditko?

My daughter (8yo) and I watched Roman Holiday for the first time this weekend. I think we're now fully on a classics kick.

Diane, 12:23 PM, January 17th. Entering The Town Of Twin Peaks. I don't think there's a film of his I haven't seen, but I always put off Twin Peaks. The death of David Lynch has me on a binge this weekend. I'm 4 episodes in and kicking myself for having waited this long.

Started Renée Bondy's [non]disclosure today. I believe that puts my "currently reading" list at 7. I need to stop starting books like it's my only hobby. This is untenable. Xmas break can't come soon enough.

Do you have a copy of TS Eliot's poetry and plays signed by a (presumably young) Alistair MacLeod? No? Just me?

This cover gets extra points -- not because it suits the tone of the book at all, but because of the sheer audacity of it for the cover of a controversial though little known Canadian novel.
