Let's Book It
No surprise: we all read
a lot more in 2020 and
beyond—so we asked
local bookstores to share
some of their bestsellers.
"One mystery set we've
seen a huge uptick in for
quarantine reading is the
Lane Winslow series by
local author Iona Whishaw.
A light historical mystery
series set in post-war B.C."
—Jina Koolen, Black Bond Books
"Braiding Sweetgrass has
been a bestseller during COVID
times. Robin Wall
Kimmerer inter-
weaves Indigenous
wisdom, scientific
knowledge and the
teachings of plants
in a way that vividly
captures beauty."
—Kolin Lymworth,
Banyen Books and Sound
"Chinatown Pretty is a photo
and storytelling project that
shares the wisdom and excel-
lent fashion sense
of seniors across
six North Ameri-
can Chinatowns.
The vibrancy and
insight the seniors
offer is a pleasure
to read, and to
recreate in our
own wardrobes! Vancouver's
Chinatown is featured in the
book, so you can understand
why it is close to our hearts."
—Patricia Massy and
Emily Dundas Oke, Massy Books
