The Quintland Sisters, by The Shark

She wrote a book, she wrote a book! And a good few Wednesdays ago, we had the pure pride and joy of hear her speak in YYJ at Munro's!
Celebrating this #1 Canadian Fiction Bestselling Masterpiece, we share pics of the Shark and her amazing achievement, published by Harper Collins, The Quintland Sisters!

Here is what I wrote on Facebook so local buds would know to come out (thank you book clubbers!)

EVERYONE! There are 5 very important reasons for reading Shelley Wood's beautiful book, THE QUINTLAND SISTERS:

5. The book is very easy to source. Find it while browsing online via Amazon, while drinking a cappuccino and eating avocado toast at your local hipster book store, and also while eating free samples and stocking up on nuts and cheese at Costco.

4. The story of the Dionne Quintuplets is an important part of Canadian history, with many a connection to what's going on in today's world. After reading the Shark's fictional book, which is intertwined with much of the true Quintland story, you'll probably be like me and spend the night googling more. See the Shark's musings in Time Magazine here. http://time.com/5555131/dionne-quintuplets-kidfluencers/

3. The Quintland Sisters was written by the best of the best, and has been #1 on the Canadian Bestsellers list for the second week in a row. The story is a wonderful, touching journey with many a twist and turn. The writing is sensational, as always with our Shark, aka Shelleywoodauthor.

2. I play a prominent role in page 440 of the book (as in, VERY prominent).

1. MOST IMPORTANTLY - Shelley will be speaking about THE QUINTLAND SISTERS in Victoria on April 3rd at Munro's Books, 7pm. She might be appearing as image 1, or as image 2. You don't know. But you want to know. And that's why you have to make it there. Camon YYJ-ers (and YVR-ers) - make it happen!

The big night (started with a bike ride, then a book signing tour, then a beverage and an iffy salad. 

 Biggest fan club:

 
 Then the main attraction-

 More fan club

Day after with lovely gang-
 

Glen reading fiction? Damn, that must be good.
Sav read it and LOVED it. But she hated the ending. No spoilers, but Sav was upset and wants Auntie Shark to rewrite the finish, with unicorns and fairy dust.

Rocket was enthralled from start to finish.

Lastly, we discussed The Quiltland Sisters at the book club that I am part of and the group loved it. There is no pic of the book in this snap (damn) but it wasn't all about cake and wine that night. We had a great chat about Shark's work too.

Hooray Shark!
