The store opened at 9am and we were there just after 8:30am and here was the line. The weather was glorious, unlike last year when it was cold and drizzling. A lady from the store went down the line and handed out slips of paper with what book you would like. You were allowed one book per adult (age 18+). I of course dragged hubby along with me. It was very well organized.
"Educated by Tara Westover" I started to read this book on Saturday afternoon and kept thinking to myself, this all sounds familiar. So decided to look at my Book review blog and sure enough I reviewed it there back in 2019. You can read my review here.
"The Wager, by David Grann"
The two other books choices were, "Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi" and that is a graphic novel and just not my thing. "Bear Town by Fredrik Backman" seemed a popular choice with people we were standing with. I do not enjoy this author at all and its about hockey which again is not my thing.
I have added links to all the book titles, so you can see the synopsis on the books. I will of course pass on my books when I had read them, like I always do. As I have said before this is a wonderful thing this company does and it's a Canadian company which is an added bonus!

Interesting that they do this - good on them! Alas no Indigo bookstores near us .
What a nice thing to do.
As you've not been on blogger recently you may not have noticed that blogger is not currently updating posts/reading lists. Hopefully whatever is causing the issue (for us all) can and will be sorted soon.
All the best Jan
No free books here either, which is why I use my library app and read everything digitally.
I am so happy for you, Gill! We have Indigo book stores here in Montreal, but thus far I haven't seen any giveaway. Perhaps they may have done this but I didn't hear or know about it!
I wasn't kean on Beartown, but some of his other books are good, particularly AMan Called Ove
