Where the Air is Sweet (Tasneem Jamal) – a true story woven into fiction to form a wonderful tale of resilience and hope

The Mountain Story (Lori Lansens) – lost in the rockies

Anne of Green Gables (L.M. Montgomery) – classic tale of Canada’s most famous orphan

Letters to my Grandchildren (David Suzuki) – this octogenarian inspires though letters written to his family

Vinyl Cafe Turns the Page (Stuart McLean) – a collection of short stories that will keep you laughing

Three Day Road (Joseph Boyden) – not enough description from my early days of blogging but a book every Canadian should read by an author I hope to meet!
