Who are some of your favourite Canadian authors? Remember to share the author's website if available, instead of an Amazon link. Your local library may have a lot of Canadian books too!

I saw a Silverwing book by Kenneth Oppel at a clearance sale and that took me on a nostalgia train. Looked him up and I didn't realize he's quite a prolific Canadian author!

Not sure if its all YA/easy reading, but that's what I grew up with. Both the Silverwing series and Airborn are top notch for that sorta thing and still hold up well for a re-read occassionally.

Yes!! Libraries are so important for our communities.

Getting a library card also may also get you access to Libby and Hoopla, which have free ebooks and audio books, as well as magazines and graphic novels! Hoopla has music albums as well, and Kanopy which has tv shows, documentaries, and movies.

Insert the "having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card" meme here.
