Definitely a brush with enjoyment to read & revu this historical fiction mystery starring #emilycarr. Author #catherinewalker draws—sorry, another art pun—you in with rich character studies and an engaging plot that includes, gasp, murder. @theseaboardreview.ca #InannaPublications shorturl.at/P2jOs

Thanks, @theseaboardreview.ca 4 the chance 2 review Yes! To Canada: When Grampa Refused to Fight in The Vietnam War, by #robertdavies. An agonizing but understandable choice, to flee one's home in protest of a war even Defense Secretary #RobertMcNamara condemned. #harppublishing shorturl.at/Gca6J
Seamus and the Shiny Things, by #carakansala, is a children’s book to crow about. Seamus is greedy about collecting shiny objects, only to find out that friendship is what truly shines. Take a beak, I mean, peek at my review! @theseaboardreview.ca @breakwaterbooks.bsky.social tinyurl.com/4a73udm2
The fun, brrr!-illiantly plotted Blood Typed is my type of mystery. Tickled to have reviewed it for this issue of @theseaboardreview.ca. Whodunit, you ask? The novel's author is #JaneDoucet. The murderer? That, you'll have to read Blood Typed to find out. www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/blood-type...
Honoured to revu for @theseaboardreview.ca the reissue of #DavidARobertson's powerful graphic novel 7 Generations: A Plains Cree Saga. As a comics writer, Robertson sought to replace lies & ignorance with a new foundation to build on. Illustrator: #scottbhenderson #HighwaterPress shorturl.at/FNkMg
