It's lovely hearing about books I've not come across elsewhere on booktube

[@JennieJohnston]

Thanks Katja. I am quite a rebel reader..lol...thanks for watching.

[@BookwormAdventureGirl]

Birdie has been on my list for a while. Obasan sounds like one I would like to read. The Lesser Blessed has been on my TBR for a while. I didn’t realize it had been made into a film. 😊💙

Maybe you'll get to some of these in future rounds of Reading Across Canada. :)

Good to see you're spending some significant time on nonfiction; few TH-cam reviewers do so.
I'm essentially a nonfiction reader. Human history is one long fascinating story, comprising many millions of smaller stories, of how and why we humans are what we are today, and a skillful writer can take a potentially very boring slice of history and turn it into a thriller. My favourite book of all time is Pierre Berton's 'Klondike', a history of The Klondike Gold Rush. It is difficult to believe how crazy people became in 1898 as tens of thousands of them stopped their lives, all around the world, and rushed to Canada's Yukon hoping to strike it rich. " Fact is stranger than fiction."
By reading and studying history, we learn from past human mistakes and can avoid making those same mistakes. Keep up your excellent and inspiring book reviews and previews.

Yes, I could not be a reader without reading lots of non-fiction. I have head of Klondike before, nice to hear its your favourite.
