Who are some of your favourite Canadian authors? Remember to share the author's website if available, instead of an Amazon link. Your local library may have a lot of Canadian books too!

I saw a Silverwing book by Kenneth Oppel at a clearance sale and that took me on a nostalgia train. Looked him up and I didn't realize he's quite a prolific Canadian author!

Not sure if its all YA/easy reading, but that's what I grew up with. Both the Silverwing series and Airborn are top notch for that sorta thing and still hold up well for a re-read occassionally.

I would also like to know a good Canadian audible alternative

Apparently Kobo Plus offers unlimited ebooks and audiobooks for $10/month. Not sure how that compares to audible, because I haven't used it.

I like Libby, which is free and run through your local library, although it's not a Canadian company.

Hoopla is another free library app.
