Birdie | Tracey Lindberg

I'm still just at the beginning of this book but I LOVE that Bernie is on a quest to find and connect with Jesse (Pat John) from the Beachcombers. I love it because her reasons are so tender and also because I used to watch this show with my dad when I was a kid. Any other #Canlittens with me? 😍

Dragon Relic and Constable Constable stole the show 😀 😀 8y

Lindy @Dragon Relic! And I remember Jesse too. 😀 8y

mcctrish Before I read your 'blurb' I was like " what is Bruno doing on litsy?" I have to read this #canlittens for the win 8y

Bibliogeekery @Dragon @Lindy @mcctrish - now I'm in a full nostalgia spiral! https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=qJeVQyJbMqU 8y

Lindy @Bibliogeekery Thank you for that link to a blast from my childhood. 😀 Now I'm going to google The Log Drivers Waltz. 8y

Bibliogeekery @Lindy Haha! No problem! A few years ago my brother-in-law was the Log Driver for Halloween, complete with an NFB name tag. Suffice it to say most young people did NOT get it!! Now I have to go Google it too! 😂 8y

PurpleyPumpkin Awww, thanks for the memories. I used to watch this show as a kid too. So much fun. 😊 8y

Bibliogeekery #NativeBooks 8y

LeahBergen Yes!! 😂😂 8y

Tanner Oh yeah, I watched this with my parents! 8y

Post Office | Charles Bukowski

#Canlittens! Can we talk about how expensive it is to mail things with Canada Post? Am I missing something? Is there a more economical way to send books? I'm so jealous when I see US Litten posts where there are pictures of huge boxes of books and the postage is visible and it's what it would cost us to send one or two small things in the mail! I need some owls or pigeons or something! 📬💸📚

BookMusings I know. It's ridiculous! We have no cheap shipping options!! 😡😡😡 the only thing I can think is to try shipping by greyhound maybe? I feel like that used to be cheaper for shipping parcels... 8y

Library-Belle I have to agree.... it's hard as well when we get things mailed to us from the USA with how much shipping costs to come into Canada such as Owlcrates et cetera 8y

KassKho I tried doing some research about cheaper ways to ship in Canada and I'm convinced it doesn't exist! 8y

LeahBergen I KNOW. 😠 8y

ReadingOver50 I was shocked at the cost of postage when I mailed my secret santa package from USA to Canada ☹️ 8y

DGRachel Shipping from the US to Canada isn't pretty either. A package that cost a fellow US litten $6-7 to ship to me, cost me $40 to send to Canada. 😢 8y

melissajayne I know what you mean. Cost me over $17 for a small package and that included the bubble envelope at $1.99 8y

LeeRHarry Australia Post is outrageous too - it's putting itself slowly out of business ! 8y

Tamarity More land, 10% of the population and a nearly paperless world (snail mail-less) they gotta make money somehow I guess...that said, I agree totally. Also, we (Canadians) pay more for the books in the first place. 📚💲. A few reasons I'm leaning more toward ebooks lately. 8y

sherryvdh It's unreal! We pay more for so much. 8y

BookishTrish @Bibliogeekery I feel the same way! 8y

drokka I've tried to find more economical ways to ship anything. Even postcards are outrageously expensive to send. I reckon we need to discuss with the postal service the idea of postage categories. My other beef is that if it goes from east of the country to west, it will always arrive faster than going the other direction. 8y

Jaimelire It's crazy expensive. For books I use chapters indigo or Amazon...they have free shipping if you spend over a certain amount. 8y

Tanner Yeah, I was shocked when I mailed my parcel to the States. And shipping in Canada is expensive too. I would love to do the postal book exchange, but can't afford the shipping! 8y

Lizpixie We have the same problem in Australia! It cost me over $60 to send my secret Santa package to America. 8y

Feminism Without Borders: Decolonizing Theory, Practicing Solidarity | Chandra Talpade Mohanty

Canadian Littens (#Canlittens) please consider signing this petition: https://you.leadnow.ca/petitions/tell-trudeau-welcome-those-fleeing-violence-and...

'Trumps deportations could start any minute - - and with real people's lives on the line, the stakes couldn't be higher. It's our ethical responsibility to act, and it cannot wait.'

JoeStalksBeck Trump is a maniac. He's causing so much tension and violence. I bet he doesn't make it 4 years. If we are lucky 8y

mllemay Done! Thanks for bringing it to our attention. 8y

That-Bookish-Hiker This is so awesome. Every day I hear something new about Trump it makes my heart hurt and my stomach drop. I'm happy my state and city have become sanctuary cities for immigrants. 8y

Jenshootsweddings The American and I were in a diner in small town Ontario yesterday and three older men at the table behind us started talking about Trump - two kept trying to explain to the other why he's such bad news. My husband stopped as we were leaving, introduced himself and actually sat down with them and outlined all the TRUE reasons why Trump is awful and how it would affect said small town. He had a crowd around him by the time we left. 8y

Kitta Done! 🇨🇦 8y

LindsayReads Please do, dear Canadian friends! If my friends and family are deported, I would at least like to have them on the same continent. 😢😢😢😢 8y

Bibliogeekery @LindsayReads 💔💔💔 8y

OffTheBeatenShelf.com Please do! I'm fortunate that I don't have to worry about deportation myself, but no one should have to go through that. No human is illegal! 💜 8y

sherryvdh Thanks for posting! Definitely signing. 8y

Nebklvr @Jenshootsweddings Good for him 8y

LeahBergen ❤❤❤ 8y

Tanner Signed! 8y

Gentlewoman in Upper Canada | Barbara Williams

Finally got my hands on this kick-ass t-shirt this past weekend. If you can't move to Canada, might I suggest you read Canada instead? #readthenorth #canlit

brilliantglow Did you get this from Indigo/Chapters or something? I've noticed they have displays set up with "read the North" with many wonderful book suggestions. 8y

Gleefulreader @brilliantglow yep! I found it at Indigo on Sunday. I think they were just released. 8y

brilliantglow I'm definitely going to have to stop in and get one on my way home from work. Love them. 8y

Bibliogeekery Awesome!! #canlittens 8y
