Today is Canada Day. When I think of Canada, I think of:
1. Our friends at HarperCollins Canada, and the olive reader’s brother blog The Savvy Reader. (For some reason, I think of the olive reader as a girl and the savvy reader as a boy.)
2. The strawberry shortcake McFlurry I had at a McDonald’s in Montreal in 2004.
3. Some of our amazing Canadian authors and their books, like:
Alison Pick, author of Far to Go, the story of a family and their governess on the eve of World War II and the betrayal that awaits them

Miriam Toews, author of the upcoming Swing Low, a hard-to-categorize yet fascinating book about her father’s suicide and struggle with depression

Tish Cohen, author of The Truth About Delilah Blue, the story of a young woman discovering the truth about her parents and then herself

Trevor Cole, author of Practical Jean, the story of a woman who decides to kill all her best friends (and one of my favorite upcoming books!)
