OCTOPUS BOOKS, OTTAWA

HOW WAS 2021? For a left-leaning political bookstore, it may seem odd but the book that probably defines the year best for us is Michael Haynes’s Hiking Trails of Ottawa. It spoke to people who needed to get out and explore nature for their mental health, it spoke to people who are worried about the environment, people who couldn’t travel and were looking for ways to connect with friends, family and nature. It also helped people discover their city. — Lisa Greaves

HOLIDAY RECOMMENDATIONS Hunting By Stars by Cherie Dimaline will be one we turn to over and over. Her first book, The Marrow Thieves, was very popular, and people from 13 to 113 were very moved by it, so I think the sequel will do well.
