It’s October! And October brings many of my favourite things – cooler days (which mean I get to start wearing my sweaters!), leaves changing colour, Thanksgiving, and Halloween (do you also buy more candy than you can possible give out?).
But the other thing is a new crop of Mountain Reads titles. This year, Ms. Barsky and I went ‘Book Tok’-ing for inspiration. While I don’t TikTok, it seems that many of you do, for when we started looking at books popular with BookTok’ers, I found that a number of them are ones that you were asking for.
So here are the books for this year. Some from TikTok, others just from Canadian authors. I hope you will find some titles that you can connect with.
