Thank you to Jennifer @ Funk-N-Fiction for submitting this week’s theme.
Here are ten books written by Canadian authors other than L.M. Montgomery or Margaret Atwood due to how well-known their books are across the globe.
There is another Canadian author I’m leaving off this list due to some terrible allegations that were made about them a few years ago. No need to give them any more attention if you ask me.
I’d rather focus on authors with good reputations – at least so far as I know – that you may not have heard of yet! If you see this little asterisk symbol * it means I have read something they’ve written. (I hope that’s the right word for that symbol. I believe it is).
2. Margaret Laurence *
5. Kelley Armstrong *
7. W.O. Mitchell *
9. Farley Mowat
10. Richard Wagamese *
11. Robert J. Sawyer *
I’m purposefully not saying what I’ve read from the authors I have tried from this list because I don’t want to influence your opinions if you decide to give anyone’s books a shot.
(And also because in at least one case I believe I’ve read one of their books but don’t remember enough about it to have a strong opinion in any direction anymore. Don’t you hate it when that happens? 😂)
Here are ten books with the word rose in the title. They’re such a pretty type of flower!
As usual, I’m focusing on the positive for this week’s prompt. Here are ten books from various genres that have fantastic plot twists.
The original theme for this week was “
March and April are a muddy, rainy time here in Southern Ontario. The dry, sunny scenes filled with colourful flowers that you see in the media or in stock photos do happen here, but not until May and June after the ground has firmed up and the plants have actually had a chance to, you know, grow.
The original theme for this week was 
Here are some of the books I started reading in the last month or two but did not finish. I’m including my reasons for not finishing them in today’s post because of how subjective these things can be.
Occasionally, new books are released that are written in the form of poetry. That is to say, the entire story is told through one poem (or, more often, many different poems) that push the character and plot development forward.
Maybe a character said something really profound or romantic or hilarious or heartbreaking. You could share witty one-liners, mic-drop moments, snippets of funny dialogue between multiple characters, catchphrases, quotes that have become a part of pop culture–like “May the odds be ever in your favor.”, etc.
