Richard Wagamese. MEDICINE WALK. M & S, 2014.
Hawthorne Book Club selection. The first time we have all liked the same book. I love the underlying theme -- that story is medicine.

BUDDHA'S LITTLE INSTRUCTION BOOK
Jack Kornfield. BUDDHA'S LITTLE INSTRUCTION BOOK. Bantam, 1994.
One of my "finds" at the annual Rotary Book Sale. This is the way I need to learn. Too much abstraction does not work for me. Very calming. Excellent addendum on six types of meditation. So grateful.

CITY TREATY
Marvin Francis. CITY TREATY. Turnstone, 2002.
Wanted to re-read this one for research on my TRC Quilt. It still stands up. Still reminds me of Martin Luther nailing the Protestant manifesto to the church door, and of Chris Woods sacred urban spaces--McDonalds, West Edmonton Mall, Vancouver street Stations of the Cross, etc. Questioning what are our priorities, and whether the sacred can be resuscitated, and Indigenous culture given space to breathe.

BURY YOUR DEAD
Louise Penny. BURY YOUR DEAD. 2010.
Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is resting up in Quebec City with Emile Comeau, his old mentor, when he agrees to help investigate a murder of a Champlain fanatic whose body is found in the basement of an English-language historical society. As he investigates, Gamache re-lives the trauma of a recent hostage-taking terrorist take-down which led to four dead officers. The funeral was national news. Both he and Jean-Guy Beauvoir are injured.The details of the terrorist plan are sketchy, helping us anticipate further revelations.
Jean-Guy has been sent to review a murder in Three Pines, to ensure that the convicted felon is really guilty.
Beautiful evocations of the Quebec winter.
