National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 2024

September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in so-called-Canada.

September’s “Mystery Date with a Book” giveaway!

What is the TMR “Win a Mystery Date With a Book” giveaway? How can one one join? First of all, TMR, in collaboration with some of Canada’s finest publishers, is giving away one current fiction title per month in 2024. We have 12 titles from three different publishers, so there will be variety in the available titles.

The Blue Castle: The Original Manuscript by L.M. Montgomery, edited and annotated by Carolyn Strom Collins

As a self-appointed L.M. Montgomery scholar (one semester of Canadian Literature in my undergrad, but someone who’s read nearly all of her works and has many opinions on them, so not really a scholar so much as an educated fan), I was delighted to see that there was another annotated manuscript of one of Montgomery’s works, again ably put together and annotated by Carolyn Strom Collins, who released an annotated version of Anne of Green Gables in 2019.
