Currently Reading
1. Idoru by William Gibson. This will complete the Bridge trilogy. I didn't enjoy my last journey into Gibson's look at the future. Hoping this will be more successful
2. Death of a Red Heroine by Qiu Xiaolong The first book in the Inspector Chen mystery series. I started this in 2022 and it's been a journey, an interesting one though.
3. The Innocent: A Vanessa Michael Munroe Novel by Taylor Stevens, the 2nd book in the Vanessa Munroe thriller series. Munroe is damaged but great at her job, this time trying to rescue a young girl from a cult in Argentina
4. Stories I Might Regret Telling You: A Memoir by Martha Wainwright. Autobiography of Martha Wainwright, daughter of Kate McGarrigle and Loudon Wainwright and sister of Rufus Wainwright. Enjoying so far.

Next in line in my Can Con Jan Challenge is Hag-Seed by Margaret Atwood
Mod
Great update, Bill. I think I want to check this out. I've read a few articles and watched a like 2 documentaries on the "residential schools" They are horrifying. Besides, it's still happening.
Mod
The more they are investigated, the more they seem to discover. Terrifying.
Great update! I'm going to hold off on reading anything about the residential schools. Sad what people are allowed to do.
Mod
