Every day tells a story Canada 365 is a beautifully illustrated book that shows what happened on this day in Canadafrom January 1 to December 31from historical turning points to the odd and unusual, to milestones in sports, business, politics and entertainment. Featuring over 400 photographs with multiple entries for every day, Canada 365 forms a fascinating and unique look at our home and native land. On January 17, 1974, Pauline McGibbon was appointed lieutenant-governor of Ontario, the first woman in Canada to hold the position. On January 17, 1880, silent movie actor and director Mack Sennett, an innovator of slapstick comedy, was born in Danville, Quebec. The King of Comedy, as he was known, introduced the Keystone Kops and the Bathing Beauties to his popular films. Eighty-eight years later, actor Jim Carrey was born on the same day. In 1996, Ernie Coombs, Mr. Dressup, retired from television on February 14. Also on the same day, in 2010, skier Alexandre Bilodeau won a gold medal at the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Four years later at the Sochi Olympics, Bilodeau became the first freestyle skiing gold medallist to defend his Olympic title and the second Canadian to repeat Olympic gold.

It‘s the first day of the Canada Reads debates! I caught the last half of the debate, and was happy with the book that was eliminated (tagged as a spoiler in the comments). I‘m still reading the contenders, but I might be able to finish them by the end of the week! #CanadaReads #CanadaReads2019

Blueberry Can't wait! I will watch it online later today. 6y
llwheeler Lol, I checked your spoiler tag... my hold on this just came in today, earlier than I expected... maybe that's why 😂 6y

candority @llwheeler Ahaha it could be 😂 I didn‘t hate the book, but it was difficult to get through. I‘m curious to hear what you think about it! 6y
JacqMac It wasn‘t my least favourite book, but I‘m ok with it being eliminated. I wish Canada Reads was longer than four days. lol 6y
candority @JacqMac I agree! It would be nice if they opened it up for public voting as well! 6y

Now that we‘re near the end of Round 1, are we all in for Round 2? I‘ve really enjoyed everyone‘s choices & would love to continue. #WhatTheCanuck

BookHermit I doubt there‘s any rush. Just wanted to get it out of my hands before it got lost in the shuffle 😂. I really enjoyed the one you have now and the one in the mail is quick read under 200 pages. 7y

BookishTrish @KassKho Sorry for the delay. I've just started unpacking my books after our move this week and I'm picking my books. I'll get to it ASAP - tonight or tomorrow 7y
ContraryMary Sorry about that! I just sent it! 7y
KassKho @BookishTrish don't even worry about! As someone who moved less than a month ago I know how much it takes out of you! 7y
KassKho @ContraryMary thank you for filling it out :) 7y
BookishTrish I'm done! 7y
BookishTrish @KassKho Glad you understand. I spent an hour looking for a charger so I could do it tonight before I forgot! I can't believe how discombobulated I constantly feel. 7y
KassKho @TheLudicReader just a friendly reminder to fill out the form :) I've had some distressed Littens emailing me wondering when we start but I want to confirm our groups before I do that 7y
TheLudicReader Hi @KassKho. I actually did fill the form out a few days ago...not sure what happened. Of course, now that I am back at school I am feeling less optimistic about being able to participate...so I think I am (sadly) going to have to bow out. So, so sorry. 7y

Hey Littens! My goal is to make up the groups by the weekend. The people tagged are one's who expressed interest but obviously more are welcome to join! If you changed your mind please let me know in the comments below :)

Here's the form: https://goo.gl/forms/fE1vnh1G8jpip1gg2

@RaimeyGallant @TheLudicReader @Jilljemmett @CouronneDhiver @Phancatherine @Moonpa @Shemac77 @StaceyKondla @ReadingMeagan @xicanti @melissa_j @purpleypumpkin

StaceyKondla Hello @KassKho - I read through the google summary of the book club and I jut cannot commit right now. I'm stacked with reading for other things and have a university course starting up mid Sept, so reading and mailing books monthly just won't work for me. Great idea though and I hope everyone that joins has fun 😊 (edited) 7y
KassKho No worries @StaceyKondla ! Maybe another time outside the school year :) 7y
Shemac77 I think I'll have to join next go; too much on the go right now. Thanks for organizing!!! 7y

KassKho Sounds good @Shemac77 Maybe I'll try an organizing one in April when university and life start to relax. A nice small group so you finish before September 7y
CouronneDhiver I can't fill out the form... there's a pop up interrupting the process... keeps trying to make me join Google but I don't want a membership? Help! 7y
KassKho @CouronneDhiver try now! I think I fixed it 7y
CouronneDhiver Got it! 😁😁😁 7y
ReadingMeagan This sounds very cool but I won't be able to sign up this time around. Maybe next time. Thank you for organizing! I hope the clubs post some great bookish pictures so we can follow along 📖😃 7y
Melissa_J I'm going to have to pass this one up for the time being. I'm not good with other people selecting books for me to read - which is why I can't do book clubs - as I'm too picky and too moody of a reader. 7y
TheCanuckReader I filled in the form but don't see my name in the tagged list 7y
KassKho @TheCanuckReader the tagged list is people who said they were interested but haven't filled out the form yet :) 7y
KassKho @RaimeyGallant @Phancatherine @xicanti you guys are the last people I'm waiting to hear from :) just let me know if you are no longer interested 7y
xicanti I've gotta pass, unfortunately. Shipping for that many books is outside my budget. 7y

So to try and make things easier I decided to set up a google form that explains what a postal book club is and try and see what kind of book club people wanted. The goal will be to have groups of 6-8 people and if I find a group of people wants to do only fantasy books, I'll group you together and we'll go from there. For now feel free to fill out the form!

Bibliogeekery I'm so sad that I missed out on this! Can you let me know if you ever start another Canadian group? I'm already in two postal book groups but everyone else in them is American and it's quite expensive for me. 😀 7y
KassKho Of course @Bibliogeekery ! I was think of trying to do another group in April since a few people were in school and couldn't commit to a club during thee school year. Watch out around then ;) 7y

Hello friends!

I've been thinking about this for awhile and I've finally decided to put out the feelers. If you're from Canada you know that the bookish things that are out on the internet sometimes don't ship to Canada (looking at you BOTM) or at reallllly expensive (what's good OwlCrate). So I thought why not see if some Canadian Littens wanted to start a postal book club! If you're interested let me know below!
