Really enjoying my Supernatural rewatch (on season 4 now) but the way they pronounce Samhain annoys me so much!!!! How was there not an Irish or Scottish person to correct them anywhere??!?! It's almost as bad as the pronunciation of Drogheda in The Thorn Birds

It has taken us YEARS to be able to do this! Even before Mick & Kevin took over at Chapters, when the Internet was still new & web addresses came in a directory, they talked about being able to trade in via a website … 30 years later I give you …

This morning. It's hard to make it out in the photo but I'm very excited to see the foggy mornings at the bottom of the hill in the distance coming back.

Rewatching Supernatural from season 1 for the 20th anniversary 👻 I'm amazed it's been this long! I've rewatched season 1 a few times over the years but it's still fun to revisit.

Please take a moment to enjoy these beautiful platters we served at our wedding (2015) 🍽️ They were on the tables when guests walked in, so they could start munching immediately. They were absolutely delicious! #foodsky

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.
Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.
