Looking for fiction? Check out my list I ❤️ My Right to Read!

For other future librarians, people interested in the function of libraries, or people who are interested in intellectual freedom.

A highlight of some of the titles coming from Canadian authors, presses, and publishing houses! Based mostly on people and books I’ve seen at literary events in Ontario that I’ve read or want to read, with a mix of novels, short stories, poetry, and more.
