  1. Hi – great list – I am surprised that the library hasn’t bought all of these and has only 4 copies of Braids–Native Speaker and Destroyer–Kaputt. I thought you were making more of an effort to collect Canadian. Who needs 50 copies of Britney Spears!

  2. A couple of updates:
    House of Balloons is only available at The Weeknd’s website, but the good news is that it’s a free download. I’ve added the link to the post.
    You’ll be pleased to know, theconcretebaby, that we have additional copies of Native Speaker and Kaputt on order.
