#YAbooks #ClimateFiction #EcoFantasy #CanadianLit

In a near-future world ruled by the RePHleX network, truth itself is an illusion—manufactured by algorithms that echo your every belief. When an artist’s analogue installation collides with a musician’s AI-driven creations, their clash exposes more than an artistic divide: it reveals a system designed to control thought, memory, and reality. Rephlexions: Echoes of Existence is a gripping exploration of love, art, and resistance in the age of digital cages.

Another great book from Canadian author Adam Shoaltz. In his newest book “where the falcon flies” he canoed and hiked from Lake Erie to the Artic (North of Labrador)

All his books are quite good if you’re into adventure stories and all his trips are within Canada which makes it even more amazing.

5/x Fave reads of 2023…

I bought Canadian writer Anita Anand's "A Convergence of Solitudes" by mistake, but it turned out to be maybe my favorite read of the year.

It's a lovely multigenerational novel set in 1970s Quebec about Desi immigration, French Canadian nationalism, music, and memory.

This was one of the very few times a book inspired me to write fan mail.

I just posted a review of "Sunshine Nails" by Mai Nguyen on bookwyrm. It's a deceptive easy summer read with challenging characters and ideas. Taking place in Toronto, I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for some light reading that doesn't necessarily let you off the hook in terms of challenging one's view of the world: https://bookwyrm.social/book/937675/s/sunshine-nails @bookstodon #bookstodon #bookreview #reading #bookrec #canadianlit
