It's Canada Day! Time for BBQs and beer! (I don't actually like beer which is very un-Canadian.) And maple leaf temporary tattoos and excessive use of white and red. Yay! I'm not sure what we'll be doing today but we will enjoy it, even if it's just sitting out looking at those patio lanterns (Kim Mitchell reference).
Anyway what is happening in the book world?
*Since it is Canada Day, you might like to join the 5th Canadian Book Challenge.
*Is this really a reason to dig up human remains? To see if Shakespeare used weed? Really?
*Somehow, someway, someone has linked the newest British royal to Jane Austen. Lady Catherine de Bourgh is not amused.
*Philip Roth stopped reading fiction because he's old? I don't see how age and reading fiction relate, my 80+ mother-in-law reads a lot of fiction.
*This might be totally crazy but now you can cover Twitter's "Who to Follow" with "Whom to Follow."
*Grammar is the IT topic this week: the Oxford Comma ain't going nowhere. Put down the pitchforks now, please.
*Etsy Love: I adore these bookshelves from Wonderland Furniture, especially the green one.
Have a great weekend!
Happy Canada Day! I love that photo :) And I also, very un-Canadian of me I know, dislike beer. But I also dislike coffee (even from Tims!). I hope I get to stay ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day! Suddenly I feel like saying eh. :-D
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's okay, I don't like beer either. I did BBQ myself a hot dog for lunch, though. lol kind of sad celebrations for our awesome country, but oh well. Maybe I'll go see some fire works later on. =)
Happy Canada Day!
ReplyDeleteThe biggest thing that bothers me about the Shakespeare story is that bozo who put in the request getting media attention. He'll request it, it'll be denied, end of story.
Happy Canada Day!
ReplyDeleteAlways love the cute cat photos on Friday. And the I too like the green one. Have a great Canada day. :-)

Ashley- We didn't do very much for Canada Day either. It was pretty low key.
