There are a few distinct seasons in Canada - Fall: ushered in by Thanksgiving with awesome amounts of turkey, stuffing and the near famous Skor Cheesecake my niece and I make!

Well, that went fast! |
My demented halloween cat! |
Then the leaves begin to fall and as the nights grow longer and your facebook events tab is filled up with events you know it is the start of another season in Canada: book launch season!
Here is a recent snap of my to be read shelf (don't show them the other shelf where you started a pile of books you've borrowed from your y/a author friends Jan and don't talk about the books you continue to take out of the library!) You'll see lots of titles written by my local writing peeps and many more.

Heaving with words ... to be read! |
Which is why I had to institute the rule that I can't buy more books unless they are written by my friends (or are for research purposes).
Well, I have no shortage of friends who write books so there is no fear of that shelf being clear for a long time!
Here's a short list of my writing peeps launches coming up, in this, the season of launches.
