pat616.bsky.social @pat616.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Perpetual Motion by Graeme Gibson is a historical novel with contemporary relevance in its eloquent plea for humans to take care of nature. Gritty, earthy, comic and dark. Set in 19th-century Ontario. Too bad the library stuck the bar code on the perfect cover image. #📚 #booksky #CanLit 050 0
pat616.bsky.social @pat616.bsky.social · 07/04/2026I enjoyed this packed memoir. Atwood skilfully weaves vignettes from her life with insights on her writing. Evocative portrayal of the birth of CanLit in the 1960s, among much more. #📚 #booksky #CanLit 050 0
pat616.bsky.social @pat616.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Just read this classic of Canadian hockey. The most evocative section was Dryden’s description of his childhood backyard hockey games, kids playing after school and on weekends, with no adult organization. “We just played . . . We got inside it, and it got inside us.” #booksky #💙📚 #CanadianMemoir 040 0

pat616.bsky.social @pat616.bsky.social · 16/10/2025I just finished reading Moby Dick, which feels like an accomplishment! I had to reserve an hour a day to get through it, but it was worth it. Melville is often cited in books about writing, so I had to read it. Fantastic epic novel. #booksky 💙📚 #AmericanFiction 040 0
pat616.bsky.social @pat616.bsky.social · 14/10/2025The Riveter by Jack Wang is a gripping novel of love and toughness in World War Two, from the perspective of a Chinese-Canadian man. Highly recommended. 📚💙 #booksky #HistoricalFiction #CanadianFiction #HouseOfAnansi 061 0

pat616.bsky.social @pat616.bsky.social · 22/08/2025You Dreamed of Empires, by Alvaro Enrigue, is a fantastic read, whether you have been to Mexico or not. He throws you into the tension created by the momentous meeting in 1519 between Moctezuma and Cortes. Visceral, funny and imaginative. #booksky 📚💙 #MexicanWriters #HistoricalFiction 130 0

pat616.bsky.social @pat616.bsky.social · 03/08/2025The Adversary by Michael Crummey is a brilliant Canadian novel. It’s the best kind of historical fiction, in which his extensive research fuses with his imagination to portray a rugged place and its people. It deserved the 2025 Dublin Literary Award. #booksky 💙📚 050 0
