I don't know who decided that Tuesday would be The Day Stuff Comes Out, but I LOVE TUESDAYS.

Today, for example, I get NOCTURNE, by Christine Johnson (which is the sequel to a book I haven't read yet called "Claire de Lune", but I can't wait to get my hands on them!), and also SWEETLY, by Jackson Pearce, whose "Sisters Red" might be the best book I've read this year.

I can't buy either of them, of course, not yet, but just KNOWING THAT I CAN SOMEDAY makes me happy. I may go to Chapters later just to stare at the displays. ;)

I also woke up to a sunflower in my v-gifts this morning, and I LOVE sunflowers. And we went to Herle's last night (all farmer's market, all the time, pretty much), and so for breakfast I get to have at least four different kinds of fruit, and then awesome bread and veggies for lunch. And it's sunny. There's a lot of work to do, but I feel better about it today!

Speaking of books, did you make commentary on THE REVENANT somewhere? Perhaps you haven't yet - I just had a sneaking suspicion that if you had, then I totally missed it.

Um, sad and pathetic story: YOU CAN'T BUY THIS BOOK ON THE SHELF IN CANADA.

And I ordered it, even though I was quitting my job, and then the Canada Post went on STRIKE (which I totally supported), and Chapters refunded the book rather than send it to me, and now I have promised myself I will not buy books, and it is KILLING ME, because Sonia is my last "real person" author (in terms of people I met before Twitter, anyway), and I am REALLY SORRY that I haven't been able to read it yet.

Book anxiety, I have it.

Oh no!

Actually, I happen to have a spare copy. ("Pathetic" story of a different nature - I per-ordered it on Amazon.com but then got so excited when I saw it real and live in a bookstore I went ahead and purchased it.) I'll be happy to pass it on to you. Can you email me a shipping address? Or is Canada Post still on strike?
