It's become a tradition, August 12th is a day dedicated to buying a Quebecois book. To mark the occasion, the Shop moi ça team recommends their current favorite Quebecois literature.
Happy 100% Quebec reading!
Roxanne recommends a cookbook
Forêt: Identifier, cueillir, cuisiner by Gérald Le Gal and Ariane Paré-Le Gal
"Because it immediately makes you want to go into the forest to find and gather all of nature's beautiful products."
Lissa suggests a very comical children's book
Pas moi by Elise Gravel
"Because at my house, with three little girls aged 6 and under, it's never anyone's fault! This beautiful, prettily illustrated book allows me to make the children laugh with several different voices. A big favorite."
Frédérique's favorite takes you to Gaspésie
Nous étions le sel de la mer by Roxanne Bouchard
"A beautiful reading experience. The author's words create strong images; you can feel the salty air of Gaspésie and the sad beauty of human emotions. The plot seems almost secondary, but the final twist will stay with you after reading."
Claudia invites parents to read and learn
Discovering Positive Parenting: To Be a Parent from the Heart by Mitsiko Miller
"As a mother of two children, Olivia (10) and Henri (7), books on parenting have occupied my bedside table for quite some time. Recently, I had the chance to read Discovering Positive Parenting and it was a real favorite!"
Gaia recommends a novel with a truly catchy title
If I had a parrot I'd call him Jean-Guy (because Coco is already taken) by Blandine Chabot
"With its catchy and intriguing name, this novel is simple, allowing everyone to understand the character and become attached to her. In its simplicity, this novel is full of emotion."
Claudie invites you to read this book that sparks interest from the start
Mukbang By Fanie Demeule
"This Quebecois novel intrigues me a lot; many have recommended it to me because of its originality! With scannable barcodes and videos to watch, nothing is missing in the diversity of this novel:)"
But above all, support local bookstores!
The Shop moi ça team advises you to make your purchases, online or in-store, at a local bookstore in your neighborhood and not a chain. This also encourages the local economy!
