I love the writing of @cbruneau83.bsky.social. I’m only a few chapters in, but she has a way of making the reader so comfortable with her characters. New from @nimbuspub.bsky.social

#TomDoyle doesn't miss a beat in his engaging bio Ringo: A Fab Life. Quoting #PaulMcCartney on 1st hearing Ringo play, "...f---, what is this? And that was the beginning, really, of the Beatles.” Fascinating to watch it all Come Together. @theseaboardreview.ca @ecwpress.bsky.social l1nq.com/o4a4ew2

An unused part of my retirement gift was a gift card to Mill Cove Coffee and bookshop here in Miramichi. Well, today was the day to "buy local" with titles from NB authors and publishers (and even a Nova Scotian one). Retirement reading! #nbbluesky

A good boy's story of adventures and treasure-seeking on Amherst Island in the early 1960s. It recalls the Hardy Boys mysteries I read as a child, and that was worth four stars. The story never gets mired down in sappiness and as Alex' father is a Professor, the reader even gets taught a few things!

Another gem from New Brunswick's @galleon-books.bsky.social. A great little novella whose true value (for me) lies in the witty repartee amongst the characters running a funeral home (always good for humerous material) and their efforts to thwart a takeover of their property for development.
