Book cover for On Hammet Shore by Shelagh Meagher (Askance Publishing): Henry has loved Sybil, one way and another, for nearly as long as he’s loved Little Hammet, the place where they first met, his birthplace, the shore which forever draws him back. The island and the woman are the twin stars which, for better or for worse, have steered his life. But that life now has an end in sight. Not some messy, pain-racked end such as his sister suffered, not something to require his brother to clean up, but a graceful, carefully arranged cessation of life. An end of his own choosing at a time of his own choosing. But before that, there’s a life to be made sense of, arrangements must be made, plans to be be acted upon. https://askancepublishing.wordpress.com/on-hammet-shore/
Book cover for Cures for Hunger by Deni Ellis Béchard (Goose Lane Editions): Growing up in rural British Columbia, Deni Béchard worships his father, believing that he can do no wrong. Although his charismatic father is prone to racing trains and brawling, Deni has no idea how unusual his family is. But when Deni discovers his father's true identity (and his other life as a bank robber), his imagination is set on fire. Before long, he begins to see himself as a character in one of his father's stories. He can't escape the sense that his father's life holds the key to understanding his own passions, aversions, and motivations. At once an extraordinary family story and an unconventional portrait of the artist as a young man, Cures for Hunger is a singular, deeply affecting memoir by an acclaimed writer. Almost unbelievable. You'll swear it's fiction. https://gooselane.com/products/cures-for-hunger

It’s a short book at 97 pages, but the prose, mood, and intense characterization of Such Small Hands by Andrés Barba gripped me long after I put it down.

Weeks ago I was dumb enough to decide it was a good time to try the London Comic Mart again, even though I'm well aware folks go there for collectible #Marvel & #dccomics and they couldn't care less about #smallpress #indiecomics.
So I guess see you tomorrow? londoncomicmart.co.uk/event/march-...

Book cover for Immortal Air by Tracey Rombough (Cape Breton University Press): Bright and promising as a student, George Cameron was sent to live with his sister in Boston while he attended a prestigious Latin school and later the Boston School of Law. It was what his mother wanted for him and his brother, Charley. It was what any well-bred family would want for an intelligent son destined for greater things than his humble New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, upbringing. On his journey to find his voice among the great poets of the 19th century, George had to leave behind his first love, a muse who haunted his thoughts and fuelled his passion for poetry throughout his life. https://nimbus.ca/store/immortal-air.html
Book cover for Every Leaf on Every Tree by Lauren Soloy (Nimbus Publishing): A tender and playful baby board book bursting with declarations of love from the bestselling author/illustrator of The Hidden World of Gnomes. https://nimbus.ca/store/every-leaf-on-every-tree.html

Book cover for This Big Heart by Lindsay Ruck, ill. by Bria Miller (Delmore “Buddy” Daye Learning Institute): Dealing with the many emotions that come with grief isn’t always easy. This rhyming picture book reminds us that we feel so much because we love so much. https://dbdli.ca/resource-materials/this-big-heart/
Book cover for The Perfect Day and Other Stories by Harry Bruce (Pottersfield Press): Bruce’s writing has inspired critics to call him no less than “a consummate storyteller”; to marvel over his “magnetic style and marvelous command of the language”; to declare his prose “highly entertaining and gloriously informative”; and to insist that “only the spiritually dead or terminally obtuse could fail to come away from it richer for the experience.” And now, The Perfect Day and Other Stories offers the best of Bruce’s best essays. From the sweet pain of first love and leaving home to the horrors of killer wasps, bloodthirsty flies, and marauding mice, from the relief experienced in every outhouse in the pines to the joy resounding from neighbourhood curling on a Scottish laird’s frozen pond, from the magic mist that sneaks into a ghost village on an abandoned island off Lunenburg to the sheer glory that parades of tall ships grant to great ports around the world, from fogs, bats, cats, and coyotes to the whales, thrones, stags, and steeples that make Atlantic Canada unique…they’re all here, and more, in Harry’s latest collection. https://nimbus.ca/store/the-perfect-day-and-other-stories.html

An old television with dial knobs sits on a white tiled floor in front of a dark grey wall. White text above the TV set reads “Fireside Chat: R.B. Wood and Ronald A. Geobey.” The screen of the TV shows the YouTube thumbnail of a log fire in a fireplace with text reading, “Fireside Chat: R.B. Wood, CEO of Ruadán Books and Ronald A. Geobey, Director of Temple Dark Books. January 25, 2026.”. The Ruadán Books and Temple Dark Books logos are centered side-by-side at the top of the graphic.
Did you miss the Fireside Chat between R.B. Wood (CEO of Ruadán) and Ronald A. Geobey (Director of @templedarkbooks.bsky.social) in January? The recording is now available on YouTube!
