Last of the Red-Hot Spenders.. er, Lenders... er, Books Given Away Friday

A historian with a drive to reveal the hidden histories of heroic Canadian women,
Merna Forster snatched at 'Deadly Canadian Women' as soon as she saw it.


Colleen Tompkins collected the intriguing historical tale, Give Your Vote to the Sister, about a WW1 nursing sister who got herself elected to the legislature.










Michael MacPherson was driven to pick up Driven to Kill
...only to get scooped by Carmen almost immediately!

The Mounties March West marched into the personal library of June Klassen.

Last book of Friday night was Joan Donaldson-Yarmey's Illegally Dead, which became bedtime reading for Joanne (whose last name is indecipherable in my notebook, sorry)

Deadly Canadian Women – Patricia MacQuarrie
