"I think in-between periods are so interesting. You find out so much about yourself. You find out about other people, how other people deal in those situations." @invisibooks.bsky.social @hollay.bsky.social @terivlass.bsky.social talks w Amanda Fields & @hollyrizzutopal.bsky.social:

Our editors share some of the books that captured our attention this year. necessaryfiction.com/reviews/reco...

Nadia Ragbar joins #ALUCozyFest to read a passage from her first novel THE PUGILIST AND THE SAILOR (@invisibooks.bsky.social), a compelling story about conjoined twins Dougie and Bruce, whose lives split in all kinds of ways even while they stay physically connected. alllitup.ca/cozy-fest-na...

“Traditions of the past mesh with potential for future change. This notion pervades Gaafar’s novel, and the two-for-one concept is nowhere more aptly contained than in the title A Mouth Full of Salt.” —Michelle Hardy Read the review: www.riverstreetwriting.com/blog/2025/11...

Including books from our friends @coachhousebooks.bsky.social, @invisibooks.bsky.social and Ronsdale Press! 49thshelf.com/Blog/2025/12...

#SFinTranslation Review: DIVING BOARD by Tomás Downey, tr by Sarah Moses (Invisible Publishing) www.sfintranslation.com?p=15332

“Tomás Downey has mastered the chill in the air, the prickling at the back of your neck; in Moses’s translation, colloquial and keen, these stories could be told by your neighbour or cousin.” www.asymptotejournal.com/blog/2025/10...

"There’s something kinetic in this juxtaposition of a lovelorn narrator and the surreal horse that’s growing in his home."

this beauty just showed up from @invisibooks.bsky.social

Thank you @jnyyz.bsky.social for this wonderful write-up of our great time on Saturday on the Book Ride with @jsquaredink.bsky.social and @thereadingline.bsky.social. CanLit on two wheels! @invisibooks.bsky.social

Excited to see Caren Beilin announced as the new Fiction Editor at @clereviewbooks.bsky.social. Despite our ardent distaste for the Cleveland Guardians (we are the official Canadian small press of the Detroit Tigers), the Cleveland Review of Books is one of our favourite new-ish publications.
