Great idea! I'll try to post once a week with #canadianwriters #canadianbooks I've enjoyed, starting with my most recent favourite VenCo by Cherie Dimaline. Magical realism that made me laugh out loud.

@Lynnd @alan @vernilla @bookstodon Two of my favourite #CanadianWriters who have produced many wonderful #CanadianBooks are Wayne Johnston and Guy Vanderhaeghe. Both are prolific but Johnston's The Mystery of Right and Wrong is exceptional as is Vanderhaeghe's August Into Winter.
Has a hashtag developed for Canadian Writers yet? Both #CanadianBooks and #CanadianWriters seem to have zero posts and my surveillance of Dark Side Social Media indicates that for some totally unknown reason, there's been a sudden upsurge of interest in Canadian books.
It seems to me that if we can get organized, this would be a great way to attract those people to the fediverse.
Some books by Canadian authors as we honour our great nation today. Happy Canada Day!

I co-authored an article with Moira Walsh called Digital Mountains, Ink in the Sink. It’s about doing an online writing residency at Banff. You can read it at periodicities : a journal of poetry and poetics. https://periodicityjournal.blogspot.com/2023/05/moira-walsh-and-shantell-powell-digital.html?m=1 @indigenousauthors #WritingCommunity #WritingResources #WritingRetreat #WritingResidency #CanLit #CanadianWriters #CanadianLiterature #OnlineResidency #Writing

GORGEOUSLY FUNNY-SAD TALE of negotiating divorce, heartbreak, and dating at 28 in the bookish-ish social circles of Toronto. Brilliantly observant about how smart women can get very firmly in their own way. A MINUS

Interesting piece on Canadian #writer Miriam Toews's complicated relationship with her Mennonite hometown of Steinbach, Manitoba. Her #book 'Women Talking' is the basis for the film of same name, nominated for Oscar.

She is such an excellent writer. I've read many of her books. "All My Puny Sorrows" still haunts me. In good ways.
