Canada Book Day is a fabulous way to celebrate Canadian literature!
Pick up an old favourite like Anne of Green Gables, reread a Canadian Classic like Margaret Atwood‘s The Handmaid’s Tale or revisit a book that you read in highschool like Fifth Business!
Discover a new favourite mystery like Still Mine by Amy Stuart or a 2017 Canada Reads pick like The Break or this year’s winner Fifteen Dogs. Celebrate books written by the late author’s Richard Wagamese or enjoy laughing along to the short stories of the late Stuart McLean!
If you have little ones, enjoy a story together. Some of our families’ favourites are the Paper Bag Princess, Murmel Murmel or I Have to Go Pee by Robert Munsch. Read Adrift at Sea by local author’s s Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch to learn more about the experience of immigrating to Canada or Best Friends Through Eternity by Sylvia McNicoll.
It is a special day to promote reading and celebrate books written by Canadian authors that make this country proud so pick up a book and enjoy!!!

Margaret Atwood, i’m late to the fan club, having only really caught on to her in the past 5 years or so. I was aware of her forever but thought her books would be “boring”. I know. Stupid. Thus, I have loads of Atwood to read and discover for the first time and I quite like that. Michael Crummey’s books are really good, as are Miriam Toews, Ann-Marie MacDonald. Heather O’Neill. I read a Robertson Davies and a Mordecai Richler last year for the first time and enjoyed them so I will be reading more of those as well.
