Recommend some Canadian books. I just picked up an author that I enjoyed and I'm pleasantly surprised to discover they are Canadian.

Since you asked specifically for books I will list some of my faves, but I highly recommend all works by the authors I'm sharing!

Post Apocalyptic fiction:

Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel Centers on the aftermath of a pandemic, following the survivors through a changed world.

Moon of the Crusted Snow, and Moon of the Turning Leaves by Waubgeshig Rice some of my favorite reads this year, focuses on survivors of a societal collapse, living in a northern Anishinaabe community

Historical Fiction:

The Paris Express by Emma Donoghue based on real events, creates a story based on people who witnessed a catastrophe

The Apollo Murders by Chris Hadfield (the astronaut!) set during the space race, follows a group of astronauts in their mission to to moon. Very gritty and technical, but still interesting!

Anne Of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery the coming of age of an orphan on PEI.

Non Fiction:

Seven Fallen Feathers by Tanya Talaga heartbreaking stories of seven indigenous children who died while living away from their families in Thunder Bay, On. to attend high school.
