@jbianchi so sorry I didn‘t post earlier, this came a few days ago! (Been so exhausted lately I‘ve done basically nothing, think I‘m finally starting to get some energy back though so hopefully I‘ll be posting more!) I love everything Julia! Thank you so much, it‘s all stuff I would have totally picked myself! Gonna get started on the book soon and ship it off as soon as possible #thecanadiantour #canadagoespostal

Hey #theCanadiantour folks! How're things going? Who's pick do you have now? @CouronneDhiver @KassKho @ContraryMary @drokka (feel free to tag the missing members... I've lost track...)

drokka Things are good here. This weather makes it perfect to stay in and read. Others are @Jazzper2 and @TheCanuckReader 7y

quirkyreader And don't forget all of us who are secretly Canadian. 7y

TheCanuckReader Doing well :) 7y

BookishTrish @quirkyreader Absolutely! How are things? 7y

CouronneDhiver I‘m a sleepy head today... busy work week plus lots of snow shovelling caught up to me! ❄️❄️❄️ 7y

CouronneDhiver Oh - and I had a hilarious chat with my dad (also a reader) last night. I introduced him to Book Outlet and created a monster. My mom put him on a book budget right away. Lol 7y

BookishTrish @CouronneDhiver I wish I'd never heard of Book Outlet. I went online to buy a $2 copy of Forgiveness and $100 later.... 7y

Zelma @CouronneDhiver that is pretty funny. I have a constant shopping cart there. 😬 7y

quirkyreader As of now the snow is taking a break but will start up again. 7y

Jazzper2 @drokka Things are good here I have my pile of books to keep me happy @CouronneDhiver what is this “book outlet” you speak of? Ahh, just checked it out — my new favourite place! (edited) 7y

Can‘t take a picture of my #thecanadiantour book but in honour of the chocolate @CouronneDhiver sent me I will show you the cookies in my stove. Or the one cookie in my stove because they are slowly morphing into one... #noregrets

Kaye If they all turned into one, then you could eat ONE cookie, but get really full 😁 7y

I neglected to take a photo of the parcel, but it's definitely on its way @TheCanuckReader
They tell me it should be there in 6-ish business days. #TheCanadianTour #CanadaGoesPostal

Oh crap. I forgot to include the letter...again. 😳

Okay, holiday season is over and I have had a chance to catch my breath. Whew! Sorry, @KassKho I didn't post earlier. Thank-you for the t-shirt -- it fits. I have finished this round's book and will be sending it on this week.

@drokka

drokka That's funny, I just finished mine and will be sending it off to @TheCanuckReader either tomorrow or Wednesday. 7y

I managed to finish up the book this weekend, and I'm jotting down notes so I can write in the notebook. This is my first postal book club though so I'm looking for some tips on what to write! #thecanadiantour #canadagoespostal

ContraryMary Example; are spoilers allowed? My notes thus far are just sort of rambling thoughts about it. 7y

drokka I just wrote general thoughts about the book. Probably added some non-specific spoiler stuff, but tried to stay away from too much. Having said that, I be decided to read other participants' notes after I've read the books. 7y

BookishTrish I'm planning to read the comments after I read the books and wrote a combo of general thoughts, personal reflection and quotes I liked. 7y

CouronneDhiver I wrote about my questions and thoughts that were inspired by the book and a few favourite passages. 7y

Dear @CouronneDhiver I'm so sorry it took me so long to say I got your package! I had to go to a far away mail pick up area because my mailman is a jerk! But I have it! I'm excited to start! My next two books have a bit of a theme which is gonna be fun ;) also love the colouring book! Kind of funny that there are turtles and I'm in the middle of reading The Back of the Turtle

I'm looking forward to use the gift pen. Love the Little Dipper on there (Ursa Minor?) Also, I almost picked the same journal to go with the book I chose since I love moleskins so much.

P.S. The book is one I've wanted to read for a long while. Good choice 👍
