Oh, Leaf fans, I am with you. Here is a short list of books available @torontolibrary that will help us remember the tragedy and triumphs of the past while looking forward to this next season (which will be epic, I'm sure).

I'm listening to a thriller called Family Game by Catherine Steadman. In it a thriller writer becomes engaged to a man from a wealthy family. It turns out they aren't nice...but then she has some dark secrets in her past too.

A lot of Leaf fans are mourning the loss of the great Börje Salming. Following his hockey career, he became known as the King of the Barbecue. You can borrow his books 1 about hockey and the other about grilling @torontolibrary.

@dcpl @ShelfAwareness I have a really distinct memory of finishing The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta on the bus and being really distressed that I didn't read it more slowly to savour it.

[Book Buzz @TPLBookBuzz]

Because I can't get enough of frenemy groups on deadly holidays I'm reading It Could Be Anyone by Jaime Lynn Hendricks about a destination wedding gone wrong. I'm listening to Shiver by Allie Reynolds --snowboarders at training facility where something bad happened in the past

[Book Buzz @TPLBookBuzz]

I don't give out a lot of fives but if I really like a book I give it a 4.

Most recent 4s are The Club by Ellery Lloyd and The Island by Adrian McKinty.

Happy #HighFiveDay anyway!

Hey, Toronto, snow is coming! It's a good time to do some reading. Our first featured category in TPL's 2022 Reading Challenge is A Book About Time. There are a lot of great suggestions on our blog post.

@MaeNena73 @BlairBraverman My library too, but then I'm one of the selectors and encouraged the others to buy it.

@Peculiar I hope we get it in Canada. I will read the h*ck out of that.

Rest in peace, Charlie Watts.
Celebrate his life by listening to his music with and without the Rolling Stones.

I love these misguided book covers of classic novels: https://t.co/3XtKCjMpBb
