DOLLS

 Michael Hiebert. DOLLS. Dangerboy, 2013.

FORMS of DEVOTION

 Diane Schoemperlen. FORMS of DEVOTION. Harper Collins, 1998. 

The sticker on this hardcover find says Governor General Literary Award Winner. Where was I? How do I not know this writer's name? How does this type of literary writing find an agent, an editor, a publisher? Asking for a friend. 

Thouroughly enjoyed these stories. Humour. Irony. Playfulness. Everyday life, with twists. A sharp eye guiding the pen. "Count Your Blessings" A Fairy Tale stands out in my memory.

THE BLACK WOLF

 Louise Penny. THE BLACK WOLF. Minotaur, 2025.

Borrowed this from the library on a 7-day loan. Read it in 2.5 days. Scary. But I've written about it in my Substack newletter. OneLonelyWriter.Substack.com.
