MITZI'S PICK
"T
his book is amazing!! I love his introduction of the individual Ravens, they are my favourite bird after all! Learning about his daily routine in taking care of these birds is really interesting. They eat a lot, and their diet is quite fascinating. I would recommend not eating your lunch while reading that chapter. For anyone interested in history or ravens this is the book for you!"

BARB'S PICK
"
This wondrous novel has quickly become my favourite read of 2018. An incredibly beautifully written story of poet Joy Davidman’s life and her love for C.S. Lewis. A real tour de force and a must-read!"

LEIGH'S PICK
“Mysterious messages offer clues to an enigma handed down through history. Bantock’s newest creation is an artistic collection of documents in envelopes, designed as riddles.
The ultimate answer may be life-changing!”

RACHAEL'S PICK
"
After they both die in a car accident in the parking lot at the mall, teenage Hallie and 82 year-old Susan “wake” to find themselves at a carnival, a sort of afterlife holding ground. But before they climb aboard the ride that will take them to the hereafter, they negotiate a deal with Eli (God)."

JAN'S PICK
"I am not usually in favour of colourizing black and white images. But this book made me think twice. It brings the people behind usually grainy black and white images vibrantly, compellingly and hauntingly to life."

In the summer of 1862, a group of young artists led by the passionate and talented Edward Radcliffe descends upon Birchwood Manor on the banks of the Upper Thames. Their plan: to spend a secluded summer month in a haze of inspiration and creativity. But by the time their stay is over, one woman has been shot dead while another has disappeared; a priceless heirloom is missing; and Edward Radcliffe’s life is in ruins.

With winter looming, a small northern Anishinaabe community goes dark. Cut off, people become passive and confused. Panic builds as the food supply dwindles.
Frustrated by the building chaos, a group of young friends and their families turn to the land and Anishinaabe tradition in hopes of helping their community thrive again.

Told in three distinct and uniquely compelling sections,
Asymmetry
explores the imbalances that spark and sustain many of our most dramatic human relations: inequities in age, power, talent, wealth, fame, geography, and justice.
|

|
|
1838: Northumberland, England. Grace Darling and her father rescue shipwreck survivors in a furious storm, and Grace becomes celebrated throughout England, the subject of poems, ballads, and plays.
1938: Newport, Rhode Island. Matilda Emmerson discovers a discarded, half-finished portrait that opens a window into Matilda’s family history. Two women, living a century apart, will be linked forever by their instinctive acts of courage and love.

As Stanley’s death approaches, the Huangs are faced with unexpected challenges that upend them and eventually lead them to discover what they most value. A compelling tale of cultural expectations, career ambitions and our relationships with the people who know us best,
Family Trust
skewers the ambition and desires that drive Silicon Valley and draws a sharply loving portrait of modern American family life.
|
|
|
|
Young Jane Young
is a smart, funny, and extremely timely novel which exposes the myriad ways we shame, forgive, and love one another. A cast of unforgettable characters: an ambitious yet naive twenty-something, a mother attempting to steer her daughter through a judgmental world, a veteran political wife facing the hard truth that fidelity isn’t always rewarded, and a young girl who feels bold about her choices before she realizes the restrictions all around her.

|
|
Red Clocks
is a riveting drama, and a shattering novel of ideas. In the vein of Margaret Atwood and Eileen Myles, Leni Zumas fearlessly explores the contours of female experience, evoking
The Handmaid's Tale
for a new millennium. This is a story of resilience, transformation, and hope in tumultuous-even frightening-times.

When the Britannia Theatre's balcony collapses, killing over a dozen people, the fingers point at the architect. He should have known better, should have made it safer, should have done something.
Douglas Layton knows the flaw wasn't in his design, but he can't fight a guilty verdict.
