What’s your top 5 books out of the books you’ve read so far this year?
Doppleganger by Naomi Klein There's been a lot of people who have tried to encapsulate the internet zeitgeist over the years, and I think that Naomi has come the absolute closest anyone has.
Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons by Kelly Sue DeConnick, Phil Jimenez (Illustrator), Gene Ha (Illustrator) & Nicola Scott (Illustrator) Truly a pinnacle of graphic storytelling. Beautifully intricate art that is telling a complex story within the art. The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi It's like your favourite creature feature adventure movie but in novel form. Just a boatload of fun. Seven Fallen Feathers: Racism, Death, and Hard Truths in a Northern City by Tanya Talaga An essential for all settlers who live in Ontario. Between 2000 and 2011 the deaths of seven teenagers, hundreds of miles from their homes just to attend high school, revealed the ramifications of racism past and present. Rainbow Black by Maggie Thrash It feels like a memoir of young teenage lesbian whose parents have been accused of child abuse during the satanic panic of the early 90s. I just really enjoyed it.
