Who are some of your favourite Canadian authors? Remember to share the author’s website if available, instead of an Amazon link. Your local library may have a lot of Canadian books too!
I saw a Silverwing book by Kenneth Oppel at a clearance sale and that took me on a nostalgia train. Looked him up and I didn’t realize he’s quite a prolific Canadian author!
Not sure if its all YA/easy reading, but that’s what I grew up with. Both the Silverwing series and Airborn are top notch for that sorta thing and still hold up well for a re-read occassionally.
Libraries can bring books in for you, too. Just ask, they want to help. They want you to get a card even if you never use it because it helps their numbers and their funding. Hell, take out books just in case you feel like reading over the next month, no one cares if you never touch them. Plus, you can renew and reserve books online and download ebooks for free.
Last month my library did a “Blind date with a book” thing where they gift-wrapped books and wrote the first sentence on the outside. I got a fun book I would have never picked up otherwise.
Wanna support local? Using your library helps you and your community.
Yes!! Libraries are so important for our communities.
Getting a library card also may also get you access to Libby and Hoopla, which have free ebooks and audio books, as well as magazines and graphic novels! Hoopla has music albums as well, and Kanopy which has tv shows, documentaries, and movies.
Insert the “having fun isn’t hard when you’ve got a library card” meme here.
