• Any Known Blood by Lawrence Hill

  Was enjoying it immensely before my mother stole it. Never got around to finishing it. Maybe I should pick up a copy…

• 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

• 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.
