Archie's new release of the week was an easy choice because we're big fans of .m.lewis and their debut novel, Canon, a delightfully strange q***r epic!

Read this book if you like a very q***r cast of characters. If you like talking to animals and want them to talk back. If you read Vonnegut and wish it was a little bit weirder. If you have questions about organized religion. Just pick it up, pals!

Also, Archie shouts hello to Moosh and Galilee, two good pups!
