Still settling in to our new home in Victoria -- we moved six weeks ago. I read lots of picture books and books by Indigenous authors this month.
Favourite books in November (in alphabetical order):
The Adversary by Michael Crummey
And Then She Fell by Alicia Elliott; audiobook read by Jenna Clause and Cherri Maracle
Bea Wolf by Zach Weinersmith and Boulet
Denison Avenue by Christina Wong and Daniel Innes
Do You Remember by Sydney Smith
The English Understand Wool by Helen DeWitt
Farm & Folk Quilt Alchemy: A High-Country Guide to Natural Dyeing and Making Heirloom Quilts from Scratch by Sara Larson Buscaglia
Genderqueer by Maia Kobabe
Like Smoke, Like Light by Yukimi Ogawa
