Why we chose Lesley Parker’s Nosy Parker Dad’s book discovery process often goes as follows: This was the process followed for discovering Nosy Parker. After he finished reading the book, he suggested I read it as well for Family Reads. The cover made me a little 🤨 but I liked the idea of reading some Canadian historical fiction, so when Dad recommended the story, he buoyed my expectations. The Cover […]
![Lost in the Moment and Found by Seanan McGuire [Family Reads]](https://i0.wp.com/fallingletters.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/lost-in-the-moment-and-found-family-reads.png?fit=1600%2C900&ssl=1&resize=245%2C150)
Why we chose Seanan McGuire’s Lost in the Moment and Found TBH, we wanted to do R.F. Kuang’s Babel but it was seemingly impossible for us both to acquire a copy and read it within an acceptable time frame. Meanwhile, we both adore the Wayward Children series. Since we each preordered a copy and knew we would read it in January, we decided to discuss Lost in the Moment and […]
![The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers [Family Reads]](https://i0.wp.com/fallingletters.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Family-Reads-the-long-way-to-a-small-angry-planet-1024x576.png?resize=245%2C150&ssl=1)
Why we chose Becky Chamber’s A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet [I want this post OUT OF MY DRAFTS before the end of the year, so here it is in a rough state. We discussed this book back in March.] Ash suggested this book because she thought it would be easy to get ahold of – lol it took us almost four months. It was on her TBR […]

Why we chose Zalika Reid-Benta’s Frying Plantain [This an old drafted post that I’ve revived – we discussed this book back in February] Dad had flagged David Bergen’s story collection Here the Dark after reading a Winnipeg Free Press review of 2020 releases. When we checked the wait time at each of our libraries, we saw it would be a long time until it was available. So I checked my […]
![Mom and I Read Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice that Shapes What We See, Think and Do [Family Reads]](https://i0.wp.com/fallingletters.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/family-reads-Biased.png?fit=1600%2C900&ssl=1&resize=245%2C150)
Why we chose Jennifer L. Eberhardt’s Biased We decided to choose a non-fiction book about race and racism. We considered So You Want to Talk About Race, which I had read last summer. I thought it would be a good book for discussion. However, we usually choose a book neither of us have read for Family Reads, so I suggested Biased. Thanks to Katie @ Doing Dewey for reviewing this […]
