When a new Richard Armitage project gets announced, the first question coming to mind, besides will he ever film a movie in Manitoba, usually involves will I get to see it as a Canadian? Berlin Station? Superchannel and that's only after season 1 long since aired. Brain on Fire? As said by SueBC, Netflix has … Continue reading Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Great News Armitage Well Wishers!

The Library TBR or When Time Outstrips Intent
I had 12 books out of the library at one time. I had a plan, usually involving renewals, with three renewals the going limit until I finally read the book.

Both books, Blackout … Continue reading The Library TBR or When Time Outstrips Intent
It’s so nice to hear your voice.
Great post from Winnipeg Public Library on audiobooks, with some notable narrators like Jim Dale for good measure. Also good for gym use if you're tired of the boom-shaka-lacka of dance beats. (Alright, I get tired from time to time. Richard Armitage's voice? NEVER!)
A New Book in the Story
I carry a journal in my purse. I adapted the notebook idea from the Natalie Goldberg classic Writing Down the Bones.

The Manitoba Libraries Conference will happen in a month's time, and it has me giddy enough to make it my new countdown widget.

Book Talk: What’s Next
People go through a period of mad reading, followed by a bit of a lull, then do more mad reading. Alright, I go through those periods although I pick up a newspaper, read a blog, read an online essay, among many things. Right now I experience the what-am-I-going-to-read paralyses until I pick up a book … Continue reading Book Talk: What’s Next
