5☆ A sophisticated, seductive, beautiful novel! Reads like a fever dream, it's all consuming, while reading it the edges around me blurred and I was so enthralled with the drama within. #bookreccomendation #bookreview #booktiktoker #booktiktok #bookstagram #canlit #booklover

Loved this one! WINGS, WAVES & WEBS is a wonderfully designed picture book teaching young readers about patterns we see in nature. Perfect for young nature lovers but also younger kids being introduced to patterns and shapes we see in our daily lives.

A quirky, fantastical tale, with the most stunning cover! Sensual yet violent, haunting yet immersive, a modern Quebecois fairy tale.Betwitching, themes of feminism, LGBTQ, migled with fairy tale and staying true to ones self. #booktweet #bookreview #booktiktoker #translatedlit

A wild, engrossing ride exploring the fragility of mental health. Dong's writing is very immersive as we get pulled into Katrina's world. I was captivated by our heroine and the mental health elements mixed with the thriller elements really worked for me! #booktweet #bookreview

[Kate 🇨🇦 @Bookalong00]

There is much honesty and vulnerability in these essays. Her writing is funny and warm and I appreciated her insight into popular culture and how she used this to explore family, identity, belonging as well as being an Asian woman and writer in today's society. #booktweet #books

[Kate 🇨🇦 @Bookalong00]

An intimate coming-of-age memoir in essays about owning your identity. Enjoyed this one a lot, I think this one is going to make a splash! Out next month! #partner @randomhouse
