This review makes palatable a challenging and innovative collection of stories—the collection as an act of storytelling itself. Thanks tons, @robertjwiersema!
★ review for Every Night I Dream I’m a Monk, Every Night I Dream I’m a Monster by Damian Tarnopolsky @fhbooks “One of the most intriguing, original pieces of fiction you are liable to read this year.” @robertjwiersema bit.ly/4ga8Vdx

We haven't 'X'ed in a while because (of reasons) but
@Frankntoad just received a starred review in
@quillandquire for TALES FOR LATE NIGHT BONFIRES and we're yipee-and-yeehawing over here. Thanks to Shazia Hafiz Ramji for the astute review. 🤩 quillandquire.com/review/tal…
Emily (@EmilySaso1), a rare mind, endorses Michelle Syba (@lit_zealot), another rare mind, and her powerful debut about evangelical culture, END TIMES.
It's true: Michelle Syba and Sarah Gilbert reading at @flyingbooks_to tomorrow will be captivating.

We need copyright reform! @AccessCopyright @CdnPublishers @ABbookpub
Thanks for discussing these issues, Stephanie.
Thank you to my constituent Kelsey Attard, Managing Editor of @fhbooks, for meeting to discuss copyright issues in Canada. We agree that all creators deserve to be paid for their work, and that their stories and ideas are an important part of Canadian culture. 📖 🇨🇦
"Throughout it all, the speaker’s voice yearns for human connection, but also for the certainty of finding and knowing oneself in a time of great transformation."

Blown away by @danielallencox's being blown away. 🤯 Thank you for reading and sharing @lit_zealot's END TIMES.
"Losing faith was like a revolution and a change of preference, God both an ousted tsar and a condiment Ivan no longer enjoyed, having experienced more simply the flavours or life, already so rich."
Totally blown away by this collection, one of the best I've read in a while 🤯

Amendments to Canada's Copyright Act in 2012 have led to $200 million dollars in lost revenue to Canadian creators and publishers. The impacts have extended to @AccessCopyright, now forced to hollow itself out.
We need Copyright Reform now.

Seven art forgers are abducted by a wealthy South Korean art collector looking for revenge. What follows is magic. @SeanMorleyDixon cracks his figurative knuckles and has us all spellbound.
