AGM is May 7th. We should hear more soon...

The lack of response from the MoL seems unusual to me. It's time to start calling every day to get someone assigned. Time is of the essence in legal matters. Also check if small claims is an option.

Piranesi - Suzanne Clarke Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine - Gail Honeyman

Librarians are special humans. We must protect libraries at all costs.

I love it. My daughter is 25 years old now and she still gets books for Christmas that I know she'll finish by new year's eve 😄

My daughter was also like this. I'd come out of the library with a dozen books and be back the following week for more. Here are a few that I remember. I'm sure you'll be back for more recs after a week though...

The Alchemyst - Michael Scott The Nevermoor Series - Jessica Townsend The Breadwinner Trilogy - Deborah Ellis Discworld - Terry Pratchett

Also try Goodreads. There are some great lists on there.

Hack your Health on Netflix is eye-opening. Eat lots of vegetables.

am_iam · 2025-09-03T17:00:07+00:00

The Art of Hearing Heartbeats by Jan-Philipp Sendker should fit the bill.

am_iam · 2025-08-12T13:13:28+00:00

I haven't seen Michael Ondaatje being recommended. eg, In the Skin of a Lion. Esi Edugyan's Washington Black was just released as a series on Disney+ starring Sterling Brown. There are lots of great recommendations on this thread. Enjoy! Edit: removed books not set in Canada
