Tye Cattanach is reading The Loudness of Unsaid Thing by Hilde Hinton
I meant to read The Loudness of Unsaid Things at the same time everyone else was reading it, but somehow, it just never happened that way. Then, I was asked to read and review Hinton’s forthcoming novel - A Solitary Walk…

Baz Ozturk is reading What Are you going Through by Sigrid Nunez
I’m enjoying this novel about a woman dealing with a friend who’s coming to terms with terminal cancer. Enjoying doesn’t seem like the right word because it sounds heavy, and it is! But only in subject-matter. Yes, it’s sad, and even…

Karl Sagrabb is reading Permafrost by SJ Norman

Lian Hingee is reading Black Water Sister by Zen Cho
Yangsze Chu’s wonderful novel The Ghost Bride is one of my all-time favourite books, so when I heard about Black Water Sister by Zen Cho I snapped it up immediately. Like The Ghost Bride, this is a terrific story that combines a…

Lian Hingee is reading The View Was Exhausting by Mikaella Clements and Onjuli Datta
The funny (not really) thing about the romance genre is that there’s a certain subset of people that assume that romance readers are a bit dim, or uneducated, or anti-feminist; when in reality the complete opposite is true. There’s…
