"The Reign extends and builds on New Brunswick, but the words “extends” and “builds” hardly do justice to a book that is so vitally charged with originality, that is relentless in its inventiveness, unapologetic in its strangeness, and deeply compelling." 😍

This conversation about Indigenous Literatures invites us to clear space, dawisijigem. We clear space from the kitchen table to make room for dinner, we clear space in closets and cupboards, and we clear space in our heads to make room for new ideas. www.thousandworlds.ca/dawisijigem-...

Dinner plans done!

It's the second cool, foggy September morning in a row and it is absolutely criminal that these aren't statutory holidays for reading at home.

Slice the Water by critically acclaimed author PP Wong is here! Dystopian thriller, speculative fiction, and coming-of-age story, this exploration of contrasting political systems sees beyond the optics of altruism & illusion of choice, unpacking the impacts of technology, addiction, and complacency
