No Holds, No Wait! Read Valid with One eRead Canada

This April, join readers across the country for One eRead Canada, a nationwide digital book club! This year's featured title is Valid by Chris Bergeron โ€” a thought-provoking novel available free on Libby in eBook and audiobook formats, with no holds or waitlists.


Valid is set in a dystopian Montreal in 2045 and follows Christelle, a trans woman forced to live as a man in a world controlled by corporate powers and artificial intelligence. As she shares her truth with an AI interrogator, a powerful personal and political transformation unfolds.


๐Ÿ“˜ Valid is available in both English and French, and blends speculative fiction with raw emotional storytelling to explore themes of identity, resistance, and the future weโ€™re heading toward.


๐ŸŽค About the author: Chris Bergeron is a Montreal-based writer, public speaker, and creative leader whose work sparks vital conversations around diversity, inclusion, and trans rights.


๐Ÿ“ฑ Get involved: Download the book on Libby, follow @OneeReadCanada on social media, and join the national conversation all month long!
