A CanCon thread of books I've read!
1. Part Time Girl by @adriaan.braevitae.com. I was gripped throughout this YA story. A super-relatable teen MC trying to do the right thing while dealing with identity challenges and mysterious magical threats. Loved the ending. 💖 braevitae.com/w/parttimegirl

Daily bunny no.3166 confronts his two greatest fears
I love this series so much! Highly recommend.
My favourite series of the year, by @kristawalshauthor.bsky.social.
Each character felt real, uniquely responding to the relentless trials & trauma of magic turned against them.
The world felt real, too: set in modern-day #Ottawa, complete with federal government bureaucracy.
Recommended!

Okay, because I need to try and re-spark some writing community joy after… *gestures at everything* how about a revisit on a way you can absolutely support authors you love for zero dollars: by dropping a low-stress, three-sentence review somewhere.

This is the second time in two days my debut novel has popped up unexpectedly -- hello baby, I still love you. <3 Look at your pretty finalist seal. Look how nice.
“Things that are and are not, she thinks, and the dog is a snake.”
In this fantastic and fantastical debut, @cjlavigne.com concocts a wondrous realm overlaying a city that brims with civic workers and pigeons.

This is how it goes
you bowing
as your hand takes mine
one step forward
you smiling
one part chivalrous
two parts mischievous
as the dance gets underway
and me
with my two left feet
stepping sideways off the cliff
as my heart soars

My book Canada's Main Street: The Epic Story of The Trans-Canada Highway was released this year.
It is a great read and even my pupper Berton loves it.

Michelle Branch, "Everywhere"
Big fan of the yell-sing "EV-REE-where to MEEE" chorus
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone

No argument here but in case you are in need of more great Christmas music that hasn’t been played to death, a thread:
Not that there was ever a question but Darlene Love’s Christmas (baby please come home) is the greatest Christmas song from the great Christmas record.
Speaking of, it’s time to start the season by the switching of records on my Ronettes shrine.

In a lush meadow
on a distant world
she runs fingers
through alien grass
and remembers
bustling sidewalks
looming deadlines
and endless anxiety
as she careened
toward empty #goals
until that fateful day
she slipped and fell
into an opportunity
(or a transport ship)
for a different life

This is a fab little book for people who work on comics—it has helped me when I proofread for IDW—but, as I said when it first came out, I also think readers of comics would find it just as interesting! I certainly found it interesting as I copyedited it, and that was before I got the IDW gig!
The Proofreader’s Guide to Comic Book Style came out a year ago today!

The Great Old One whimpers, vast limbs twitching in unease. What visions can terrify such an entity?
