#CanadaReads is happening again. Even though I am a big supporter of #Canadian #literature and #writers, this competitive format sends me over the edge. Am I the only one who finds this #CBC #books promotion event so obnoxious? https://www.cbc.ca/books/canadareads/livestory/canada-reads-2026-live-updates-9.7159466

Haven't had a chance to watch day 1 of #CanadaReads yet, but I am glad that I can go from being extremely invested in Artemis II to being extremely invested in this for the week before I have to entertain myself again 😂

If anyone on here is in #Ontario, can access the Ontario Library Service Consortium (so small town libraries) and prefers #audiobooks to reading, books 1-3 of the #GameChangers series (aka #HeatedRivalry) have unlimited copies available right now.

I considered getting the #ToughGuy audiobook but Tor Thom’s voice is a bit too low and rumbly for me.

I'm going to be on the 2026 edition of #CanadaReads! ⁦@[email protected]⁩ https://www.cbc.ca/books/canadareads/meet-the-canada-reads-2026-contenders-9.7040200

Those books each have well over a hundred holds now the winners have been announced. I’ll pick three and maybe my turn will come in the fall or winter, as each bubbles up the queue. #CanadaReads

I had forgotten about people putting a hold on a book and pausing it.

I am a #songwriter. The only thing I know how to do to fight #Fascism is to write #songs. So here is my #originalSongcall to the rebels
Please give it a listen:

With *everything* going on, I totally forgot about #CanadaReads! The nation's annual title fight began today! I'll catch up on Gem but here's who's battling!

(And yes, Canada broadcasts this literary battle)
