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.
#cheriedimaline

If you haven't read Cherie Dimaline's VenCo, go and get a copy and read it now, especially if you're a woman. I can't tell you how much joy and power I've drawn from it.

The sort of novel I *never* get tired of. The inclusive witchy feminist variety. Women writers, just please keep β€˜em coming. #VenCo #CherieDimaline #fantasy #witches #bookstodon #amReading
I’m reading VenCo by Cherie Dimaline and it took me almost a third of the way through the book to figure out what the title meant. Oops. Sometimes I’m slow to catch on. @indigenousauthors #Indigenous #AmReading #witches #VenCo #CherieDimaline
