Jason Christies Canada Post interrogates the linguistic imperatives of the communication age and investigates the links between language and nationality with dry, delirious wit. Christies poems evidence a frightening, ludic journey from the capital to the outlying punctuation where the familiarity of our nation, language and identity begin to disappear in the cracks and fades of discourse. Beware of grammar, these poems advise. Itll get you every time. Shrewdly political, wickedly funny, and fiercely intelligent, Canada Post is an important debut collection.

Hey Canadian Littens! There are still two spots in the 🇨🇦 group for #LMPBC, who's in?

https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/5080444aead2ca0ff2-l...

@suvata

Read-y_Picker Seriously considering it! Has it ever happened that people end up choosing the same book? 4y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @Read-y_Picker you usually discuss what books your picking, so not really. 4y

I guess this package is For #AllHallowsReadSwap because it has a note indicating book/candy. I know comes from Canada because I google the address 😉but I don't know the Litsy name. But Thank You! I'm excited!!! 👻🖤🖤🖤🖤 @MaleficentBookDragon

LeahBergen Happy Birthday!!! 📚❤️📚❤️ 4y

A little bit late going out, but this baby is on its way to you @Tianarose

#LMPBC #ReadtheNorth

Tianarose Yeah! 5y
Tianarose @TheKidUpstairs I still haven‘t gotten this book. 😫I‘m holding out that it will show up tomorrow. I‘m really hoping it didn‘t get lost. (edited) 5y
TheKidUpstairs @Tianarose oh no! I've got the receipt somewhere, I'll check if there's tracking. It should have been there by now. Fingers crossed it's just delayed. I'll let you know what I can find out. 5y

TheKidUpstairs @Tianarose I was at the post office this morning, and this is what I've found out. The package is on its way back to me, the packaging was damaged and it is undeliverable in its current state. I'm crossing my fingers that it is just the outer packaging that got damaged and not the book itself. It's expected back to me today or tomorrow. Hopefully I can just repackage and reship 🤞 If not, I'll haves to buy a new copy and ship it out. 5y
TheKidUpstairs @Tianarose @ShelleyBooksie @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego (see previous comment) we're delayed for this round, sorry guys! Hopefully we'll be back on track soon, but books will be delayed getting back to their original owners. On that note, I also haven't received a book this month so I think Shelley is a bit behind too. Hopefully no big problems, and all will be back on track soon. I've really enjoyed the various selections thus far! 5y
Tianarose @TheKidUpstairs that sucks! Good thing it‘s the last book in the swap too. 5y
TheKidUpstairs Okay, good news update: I got the package back, and while the envelope had been pretty ripped up, the damage didn't make it through the bubble wrap to the book itself, so I just need to repackage and resend! @Tianarose @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @ShelleyBooksie (and, I received a package from Shelley today, too!) 5y
Tianarose @TheKidUpstairs great news! Hopefully they treat it nicely this time around! (edited) 5y
ShelleyBooksie Yay! Glad to hear that the books arrived. I look forward to what you thought of my choice. It was not what I had expected it to be 5y

@BookishTrish it's here! The ladies at the postal office were just as excited as I was 😁 The Tea tin got a little dented, but other than that all is in good order after bouncing its way around the country 😂 And THANK YOU for the Earl Grey. I just finished my regular EG the other day and was about to go buy more!

@MPick I'm excited to read your selection! I remember a friend recommending it to me years ago, and I just never got around to it.

BookishTrish Well the tin certainly has character now. I‘m glad it all arrived 😘 6y
wanderinglynn The world certainly could use more Justin Trudeau! 🇨🇦❤️ 6y
tournevis @wanderinglynn If I may suggest, don't say that. I've met him, more than once. Behind the cameras, he's a self absorded ass. 6y

Also today - three cheers for #bookmail!!

I received @drokka's pick for #LMPBC from @DebbieGrillo 😁 I'm so excited! It's a book that I love, and re- read every couple of years. It'll be fun to read it in a book club context!

DebbieGrillo It was a first time for me and I loved it. Book 2 is already on my THE list. 7y
drokka I wondered if anyone had read it before. At least it's one you like 😂 7y

I can't tag the actual book, because it's part of #whatthecanuck and I don't want to give it away. Its a tough book, but so well written.

Today's #bookmail number 1!

@BookHermit your #whatthecanuck selection has reached Port Perry! I've been wanting to read this one, so I'm glad you chose it. Most of my planned December reading is looking pretty light and fluffy, so it's a good time to mix in something heavier on the heart and mind. I'm sure there will be some interesting journal thoughts to read afterwards!

Mail day! Packages on their way to a couple Littens!

 @PandaPanda Beartown is on its way to you for @cobwebmoth's #travellingbook - I hope you like it as much as I did!

@teebe the next round of #whatthecanuck is on its way to you! Apologies to Gambit, I didn't get a chance to sneak a treat in for him, but I promise him goodies next round. This one is @PurpleyPumpkin 's selection, enjoy!

More mail to go out tomorrow!

PandaPanda So excited I know I'll love it!! 7y
teebe Gambit doesn't mind! The bird you sent is so far in tact despite being thrown around the house. Durable little thing. 7y

The next #whatthecanuck read has arrived!!! 😁 This one is @PurpleyPumpkin's pick. I read it when it first came out, and am excited about giving it a more in depth re-read! There are a few scenes that have stuck in my memory.

I like to pick playlists to listen to as I read, soundtracks for the books if you will. @ArcaneStars pick suggested a certain distinctive sound, and this one leans towards a very different type of music. Can't wait!

monalyisha Cool cover! 7y
TheKidUpstairs @monalyisha isn't it neat? That's the notebook for jotting down our thoughts, I love it! 7y

I finished my first round book for the #whatthecanuck #CanadaGoesPostal group earlier this week. I had to take a couple days to process in order to get my final thoughts down in the journal. It was an amazing book, and I'm so glad to have read it. I think I'm going to have to pick up my own copy for a re-read!!! Great choice @ArcaneStars

I'll get it out to you soon, @teebe

Happy Can-Lit reading, everyone!

ArcaneStars So glad you liked it ❤️ This is such a rereadable title IMO. I've bought copies for so many ppl 😁 (edited) 7y

@ArcaneStars it arrived! And this is one that I have been meaning to read for a long time, so I'm really excited to get to reading. And thank you so much for the tea, I've never tried Labrador Tea before and it has me intrigued...

(PS: Loving your notebook intro! This bookclub is going to be great!)

#whatthecanuck #CanadaGoesPostal

ArcaneStars Sorry for the late reply-was at work all day. So excited for you to read this too! I've reread it so many times, I'm gonna be wondering at what part you're every single day😁 ... Labrador tea is exclusive from Quebec. The mild taste and the soothing effect make it one of my favourites to ease into an evening reading sesh. I'm sure you figured it out right away, but in case - crush the leaves to make it finer and steep it properly. Happy reading ❤️ 7y
