Not particularly new, but a great book club read. Has your club already read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society...

As an online, used, bookseller for 25 years, I have a different suggestion. For those who care, I suggest you look for a smaller, independent, seller - a seller who is in business because they love books and reading and all the good things that go with them. It's not hard to find us - on any...

Cheers to Mao Shimada. She has proved she is amazingly self-motivated. It must be really hard to have to be in juniors yet again. I have to believe she will be SO happy to finally be old enough for senior level competitions next year.

I noticed the ballet training in his hands. Nathan's hands are second to none. It was one reason he always looked relaxed when he skated - but still knew how to use them to dance at the end of Rocket Man.

I agree with you that the scoring will be interesting. My memories say that when they were competing, the top teams all used to get level 4"s on everything and when someone got a level 3, it was a big deal. These days, the levels are much lower on many of the elements (except lifts) and it's...

The characters on "The Rookie" - John, Tim, Nyla, Angela, Lucy, and Wade. I'm in good shape and will be home before morning.

Thank you. Best wishes to your mom.

Sheesh, for a second I thought "Kai" Kovar. I need to remember he has a sister.

Yep. In 2002, it was the arena for hockey and the Delta center was figure skating. Plans call for those to be switched for 2034. I'm not happy about the size, but the viewing will be better - much closer to the ice. Now, all this said, there are huge developments in the works for downtown...

I'm guessing it gives him plenty of time to fulfill his Olympic obligations - whatever they are. I have a feeling we will see much less of him during medical school.
