This book is intoxicating - once I began reading it, I could not put it down - Joe by Carol Rose GoldenEagle - I highly recommend👍 #Joe #carolrosegoldeneagle #booksaregood #keepreading

Another recent read - Marina is an amazing writer - The Observer by Marina Endicott. #marinaendicott #theobserver #booksaregood #keepreading

I read many books, both fiction and non-fiction - here are my most recent reads, starting with The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris, a novel based on a true story - heartbreaking and brilliant, in my opinion. #heathermorrisauthor #thetattooistofauschwitz #booksaregood #keepreading

This is what you voted for⁉️

Detainees treated like violent criminals. Moved from cage to cage at 3 a.m. and sleep-deprived. Only 3 minutes to eat. Bathrooms three times a week. No towel to dry off after a shower and growing fungus on their bodies.

Listen to this once. Then listen to it again.

hey Alberta - see you at Cornstock 2025 in Taber - the festival runs July 24, 25, 26 and we’ll be joining Tom Cochrane, Prism and Helix Saturday July 26 - see you there😊 @thenorthernpikes @cornstockmusicfestival @tomcochranemus @official_prism_band @officialhelixband #taber #alberta
