My top paperbacks of the year advent for the 8th is @tkingfisher.com's A Sorceress Comes to Call.

What do you do if your mother is controlling, self-centred... & a sorceress?

Regency era with magic, murder, trauma, found family, GREAT characters all the way through. Loved it!

Dec. 6 is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

14 lights will be lit on Mount Royal today at 5:10 p.m., the time the attack began in 1989. As each light is lit, the names of the 14 women will be read aloud.
