Happy Friday, Bookworms! Here’s what the team at Simon & Schuster Canada is reading.
Jacquelynne, Marketing Assistant: This weekend I’m reading To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, by Jenny Han. I know, I know, I am WAY behind on this series. I am just getting back into contemporary YA novels and I thought, why not start with a classic? (And just in time for Always and Forever, Lara Jean, out this year!)
Holley, Publicity Assistant: I have been a Zoe Whittall kick lately. After reading Holding Still for as Long as Possible, I dove into The Best Kind of People. Both novels are very different but equally compelling. Over the holidays I began Bottle Rocket Hearts. It’s a coming of age story set in Montreal in the 90’s. Whittall has such a talent for character development that, no matter what is going on, I need to read more about the interesting individuals she has created. Jordyn, Sales Operations Assistant: I am currently reading the second edition of Y: The Last Man, which is a graphic novel by Brian K. Vaughan. It’s incredibly well done, beautifully drawn, and the plot is super intriguing. The premise alone – looking at a world where all men/male animals have been wiped out – is mind boggling, and offers an interesting view of gender dynamics. I highly recommend checking out this series!
