This book is a scalpel. El Akkad slices through the performative comfort of passive liberalism, exposing the rot. Essential reading as world gaslights itself in real time

Day 6: Redemption by Nathan Winograd
This is not a perfect book, but was perfect at the time I was a volunteer director in animal rescue (hey scarscare.ca ). The author provides new approaches and challenges commonly held beliefs.

Day 5 - My Name Is Leon by Kit De Waal
A story told from a child's perspective, when done right, is powerful.
Leon’s world is filled with anger, loneliness, and small moments of hope.
This is a book about family, identity, and finding your light.

Day 4 - A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson
I think about this book daily (my Roman Empire)
All the ogys are covered (cosmology, ecology, zoology) in the most delightful way. Plus, I loved the stories about the people behind the science.

Day 3: Fifth Business - Robertson Davies
I read this novel when living outside of Canada. And it made me feel nostalgic for home.
"It was as though she was an exile from a world that saw things her way"
It deserves to be read slowly,with reflection.

Day 2: A Fine Balence by Rohinton Mistry
A gift from a friend who had just returned from working in India.
This book showcases friendship, struggle, and hope. Although grim, it beautifully captures the unexpected kindnesses found in difficult times.

1. Vurt by Jeff Noon
I purchased a galley copy of this book at Belgravia Books. I never read a Sci-Fi book and I purchased it just for cover.Thank you Noon for introducing me to a whole new genre!
Vurt is an evocative, loopy, techno-sci-fi fever dream.
