@rollforlearning A good kids book list to share today! 49thshelf.com/Lists/Members/…

@CynthiaLynch So sorry, Cynthia. Two decades is a long bond and very emotional. She looks like a sweetheart.

My sweet Mia's (aka Miss Mew) little heart gave out this morning. Through three apartments, several jobs, a law degree and a pandemic, she was a great companion for almost two decades and I will miss her very much. ❤️

@arjunbasu Ha!

@KitchissippiOtt Hi there - we are enduring a ton of LRT noise here on Amanda Street in Champlain Park but it's way too much when it's going on past midnight - how can we put a halt on the groaning and screeching that makes it impossible to go to sleep? Thanks.

I really loved making this book list. So much food for thought. 49thshelf.com/Lists/Members/… #canlit

Absolutely.

My friend is a social worker who gives ESSENTIAL support to families affected by a loved one's schizophrenia. She works so freaking hard. Her pay scale is frozen at a 1% increase over 5 years. That the #Ford government is appealing the court's strikedown of #Bill124 is appalling.

Something (among many things) that breaks my heart re: Russia's horrendous war in #Ukraine is Ukrainians' love & care for their pets, whether cats, dogs, or rabbits. Even as they endure the harshest, most bleak conditions, they protect other creatures theguardian.com/world/2022/nov…

There is such joy in working with a great copy editor. Donna Dawson is the best!

@supremetronic I once put candies and treats into little bowls for my daughter's birthday party not realizing the bowls had tiny plastic beads in them that could have easily been eaten. My friend noticed, thank goodness.

2/2 This title page for K.D. Miller's Late Breaking, for example, is a beautiful thing, @biblioasis 49thshelf.com/Books/L/Late-B… #BookMarketing

1/2 Publishing @49thShelf's Quick Hits column, I am always struck by the power of reviews and awards in metadata. 49thshelf.com/Blog/2022/09/0… #BookMarketing

@calgarylibrary Finally reading Tanya Talaga's Seven Fallen Feathers. Nothing has opened my eyes to the reality of the abuse and neglect of Canada's #Indigenous peoples more than this book.

It's #NationalBookLoversDay what are you reading right now?

This collection of essays by Tanis MacDonald, and Tanis’s generous contribution of an annotated list of books about walking … so good 49thshelf.com/Blog/2022/06/2… @wolsakandwynn

Like, tell me you don’t want to race out now and buy this book. And then dive right into it. 49thshelf.com/Blog/2022/The-…

Sometimes a pretty good author gives you a pretty short interview that feels phoned in. Then there are the brilliant authors who appreciate an interviewer’s close reading of their work and carefully considered questions, who respond in kind, with generosity and attention.

@cbcallinaday @opl_bpo @Writersfest @kateheartfield Ann @opl_bpo I LOVED Sorrow and Bliss SO SO SO much. Thank you for the recommendation.

Books that Ann @opl_bpo & Sean @Writersfest talked about: The Embroidered Book by @kateheartfield ... An Unthinkable Thing by Nicole Lundrigan ... Ordinary Monsters by J.M. Miro ... & Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason

Good lord—for the first time ever in @49thShelf’s Shelf Talkers (CDN indie booksellers' recos), one book is raved abt by THREE separate booksellers! Check @49thShelf’s Twitter later to see which book it is. (Hint, author rhymes w/ a kind of Christmas sprig). @robertjwiersema

Today would be a great day to open the 4th dose to everyone. Sure as HELL beats throwing them out. 😡 @celliottability @fordnation

Anyone have any idea when they will widen eligibility for 4th COVID shots in Ontario? It seems nuts not to do that unless there is some supply issue I’m not aware of.
