"Oh, magic hour, when a child first knows she can read printed words!"

— from A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, 1943








My MURDER IN TRANSLATION VBB is here: http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/10358250

I was in the 2011 Canada Reads BookCrossing Challenge. The 2011 nominees are:

Unless by Carol Shields - read
The Bone Cage by Angie Abdou - reading
The Birth House by Ami McKay - read
The Best Laid Plans by Terry Fallis - read
Essex County by Jeff Lemire - read


Last year I participated in the Canada Day release challenge. The special theme was children's and young adult books.


MY INTERESTS: Genealogy & Family History; Women's History; Canadian History; Mysteries, especially those with women detectives and those with historical themes. If they include women's history &/or some genealogy, I'm really happy.

Are you a mystery reader?
To see news about new Canadian mysteries, read Cool Canadian Crime, the newsletter of the Crime Writers of Canada.
