Bucha, a must watch film about the first days of Russia's war on Ukraine. Available on Prime, Apple, Google play.

Gut-punching and true. #Bucha is a must watch movie based on true events during the first weeks of Russia's war on Ukraine. Not an easy watch but ultimately uplifting. #Ukrainewar

Vicki Grant's first adult novel. These Are the Fireworks.

These Are the Fireworks by Vicki Grant. At the beginning, the reader is plunged in off-kilter and can't help but read on. As the layers peel away, the true crime reveals itself and the resolution is oh-so satisfying on so many levels.

Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch is the only children’s author in Canada to be banned by Russia.

Freedom to Read Week: Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch Freedom to Read Week is a time to remember and preserve our intellectual right to read any book we wish to. But if the book doesn’t exist, how do we know what we don’t know? Since Russia launched it...

This is Freedom to Read Week and the 4th and 12th anniversaries of Russia's genocidal war on Ukraine
When books are banned, we can know them. But when the author is killed, their voice is silenced. #booksky #Ukraine www.lecarmichael.ca/2026/02/free...

Tashkent International School 4th grade students listening to Marsha Skrypuch book talk Adrift At Sea.

Adrift at Sea, A Vietnamese Boy's Story of Survival by Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch with Tuan Ho art by Brian Deines Published by Pajama Press

World Read Aloud Day #WRAD started a bit early for me this year, as last night at 11pm I met with 4th grade students from Tashkent International School to talk about Adrift at Sea, about Tuan Ho's perilous escape from Vietnam. @pajamapressbooks #ireadcanadian #booksky

Loved reading about occupations and lives of common women. It was illuminating, reading all the reasons why women would choose a monastic life. Not at all what you might think! #booksky @netgalley.bsky.social #penandsword

#BelleBurden's memoir about her shattered marriage is beautifully written, humble, and filled with hope. #RandomHouse #reading #goodbooks

Thank you, Kristen.

A choice is made that will bring in buckets of cash, but will harm the very people they've vowed to help. Reading the fallout of this horrible decision made for pageturning intensity and a sick stomach. #SharonBala #PenguinRandomCA #NetGalley #IReadCanadian

Cover of Discipline, by Larissa Pham.

#Discipline. Happy #Bookbirthday! I love the structure of this story, with Christine on tour with her first novel, which is highly personal, secret, and now out there in the form of a revenge fantasy against a powerful man in her past. Beautifully written. @randomhouse.bsky.social #LarissaPham
