Wow it’s been a short while since I have managed to get any reading done. Mavis is a walking, talking, mess-making handful and the studio tour this past weekend had me pretty busy, but I do intend to make time for books again once I get caught up on work and cleaning (famous last words!) I did managed to collect a few books I’m really excited about this week though; suddenly it was just raining excellent/intriguing titles at VV and GIRO. I love when that happens.

Recent scoops:

1. The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore by Kim Fu
2. Ursula Le Guin: The Last Interview
3. Dirty Windshields by Grant Lawrence
4. Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens (this one I bought new because my Gabriola book club is reading it together)
5. The Red Word by Sarah Henstra
6. How Should a Person Be? By Sheila Heti
7. Nights at the Circus by Angela Carter
8. The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris
9. The Farm by Joanne Ramos (it was especially exciting to find this as it’s on my wish list and I have almost bought it new about 6 times already but held out! Nice to get it for $5 instead of $23.40)

I have fallen seriously behind in reviewing the books I’ve read so far this year so will probably skip the ones I haven’t done yet and start fresh. Ahhhh there’s just too many good books and not enough time in the day!
