We’re starting to come down from our sugar high after our internet birthday (we turned two!) on Thursday so we’ll likely be under a pile of new fall books this weekend, taking it easy. We hope you’re having a relaxing and enjoyable weekend too! Read on for some bookish news and our geo-specific book recommendation this week.

Happy Birthday to us!!This Thursday All Lit Up turned two! It’s been an amazing couple of years of CanLit fun and so many great books. We celebrated on the blog in a couple of ways:~ We took a cue from some of our books in this week’s Top 10 on how CanLiters party~ We at Team ALU paused for a moment of reflection, looking back at some of our favourite moments of the last year as well as which fall books we’re excited to get our paws onThey’ve got the hardware to prove itWe spotlighted two award-winning writers this week:~ Matthew Heiti is an award-winning screenwriter, playwright, and novelist: who better to ask about his creative process and if he believes in Writer’s Block~ Xue Yiwei is an award-winning Chinese author of twenty books. So why did we include him in this week’s First Fiction Friday? His work is available in English for the first time! Check out Shenzhenders!
