Alberta Bestsellers: May 2021

The Alberta bestseller list for May 2021 showcases an exciting array of Alberta-published books that people are reading across the country. Mother Earth Plants for Health & Beauty: Indigenous Plants, Traditions, and Recipes takes the top spot for the second week in a row, from Eschia Books, a publisher that seeks to provide a venue for Indigenous writers, especially emerging authors and those who live in isolated areas of Canada. Meanwhile, new release The Bridge: Writing Across the Binary from Freehand Books hits the list for the first time and is a fascinating memoir of growing up in West Virginia in the 1940s and ’50s: a time and place where the word “nonbinary” didn’t exist. Plus fantastic offerings from Frontenac House, NeWest Press, Stonehouse Publishing, and Durvile & Uproute Books. For more information about each book, click on the name of the publisher.
