  • The Wars by Timothy Findley

    Definitely wouldn’t have read it if it hadn’t been part of my syllabus in university, but it wasn’t terrible. Worth the read if you’re into military novels.

  • Summer in the Land of Skin by Jody Gehrman

    A slow page-turner, but compelling nonetheless. Learned about luthiers, which was cool.

  • All or Nothing by Claire Cross

    Chick lit. Totally forgot about it, but my book journal says I devoured it, so…

  • The Help by Kathryn Stockett

    Saw the movie first and loved it. The book was too slow-moving for me after that, though I wish I’d powered through. Should have read it first.

  • The Good Daughters by Joyce Maynard

    More than a few twists that I didn’t expect—definitely a good read. Fun fact: author is Wilson Bethel‘s mom.

  • All My Friends Are Superheroes by Andrew Kaufman

    A humourous Rolodex of everyday super heroes and a wonderful tale of what we do to find and keep the ones we love. Recommended.
