If we’re sharing #ChristmasBooks, my fave is still @stephaniemclellan.bsky.social’s THE CHRISTMAS WIND illus by Brooke Kerrigan. “The Christmas Wind portends the need for a deeper meaning to the holidays that should supersede all else.” canlitforlittlecanadians.blogspot.com/2017/11/the-... 👍🏻🇨🇦📚

Book 4 #gabrielleandtheemperor is taking shape. It won't make my self-imposed Boxing Day deadline, but the final instalment will hit the shelves on #valentinesday. Hey, who doesn't love a yarn that blends romance with swords, muskets, hot air balloons, and . . . oops. You'll have to wait and see.

www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/... is now available for preorder on #kobo. Release date is December 15th. #kenya #elephants #amboselipark #conservation #middlegradebook #ireadcanadian

Coming December 15th to Kobo: #kimetosjourney. Kimeto has never been more than a days walk from his home near Mount Kilimanjaro. One day he helps rescue a baby elephant from an abandoned well. Later, worried the calf will not survive, Kimeto begins a journey to Nairobi. Will he find his elephant?

Tonight, the House of Commons has voted to pass Budget 2025. It’s time to work together to deliver on this plan — to protect our communities, empower Canadians with new opportunities, and build Canada strong.

On June 15th, I tossed my #saskatchewanroughriders STH coin in #trevifountain while making a wish. Need I say more? #karma #greycupchamps2025

Mission accomplished. #greycup2025 #champs #saskatchewanroughriders.

We will remember them. #remembranceday 🇨🇦

It's probably a good thing that I'm not in charge of negotiating Bo Bichette's contract with the #bluejays.

BLUE JAYS 🇨🇦 ⚾️ FOR THE WIN This team. Lose an 18 inning heartbreaker. Lose Springer. Up against Ohtani. On the road. The Toronto Blue Jays didn’t flinch. A dominant 6-2 Game 4 victory to tie the World Series at 2-2. There will be more baseball back in Toronto this season.

Now working backwards on #gabrielleandtheemperor Book Four of the #windsofchangeseries. I'm drawing inspiration from #gustavusadolphus, whom I studied in a military history class a very long time ago. #alternativehistory #historicalfantasty

BLUE JAYS FOR THE WIN The Toronto Blue Jays have forced Game 7 after a 6-2 win over Seattle. And I’ll be there for it tomorrow night at the Dome. Flight in the morning from Edmonton. Land around 4pm. Going straight to the ballpark. Oh baby for sure.

BLUE JAYS FOR THE WIN Game on. The Toronto Blue Jays win 13-4 in Seattle. And now it’s a 2-1 series folks. Here we go.

"Saskatchewan’s Maureen Ulrich understands how to engage readers, her genres and subject matter are varied, and her children’s picture books are delightfully heartwarming. A Home for Hairy features a foul-breathed cat with low self-esteem and a busy healthcare worker." - Sask Books Review

"Author Maureen Ulrich embeds authentic dialect into her text throughout. It is a strategy that, along with Ulrich’s rich descriptive narrative, makes us feel that we are right there in Africa experiencing exactly what Kimeto does." reviews.skbooks.com/kimetos-jour...

Good morning sports fans. Especially to all those Blue Jays fans across Canada and beyond. Feels like fall in Toronto this morning but the boys of summer are still rolling. Have a great start to your Thursday.

My first event this week is tomorrow at Lampman School. Thank you @skbooks.com. Looking forward to it! #kimetosjourney

BLUE JAYS FOR THE WIN The Toronto Blue Jays take care of business at home to take a 2-0 series lead on the Yankees heading to New York. It’s a 13-7 victory in front of another raucous crowd at the Rogers Centre. What an outstanding weekend of baseball in Canada.

BLUE JAYS FOR THE WIN A decisive 10-1 opening victory for the Toronto Blue Jays over the New York Yankees. Back at it tomorrow for Game 2 of the ALDS. Full marks to Jays fans. That’s one of the best atmospheres I’ve ever been a part of. And it’s just getting started.

"Maureen Ulrich keeps the Winds of Change blowing strong in this third installment, and #theoutlawgabrielle does not disappoint. Readers will breathe a sigh of relief as Gabrielle and Thomas finally come together—a moment that sets the stage for the adventure to follow." www.amazon.ca/dp/B0B22V499N

OK BLUE JAYS It all comes down to the final day of the regular season to decide the AL East. A Jays win or Yankees loss tomorrow = Toronto wins the decision.

Sad to hear that Robert Redford died. It’s a rare death where no one has a bad word to say and everyone agrees the deceased was hot af.

GOLD FOR CANADA 🇨🇦 ETHAN KATZBERG WINS HAMMER THROW GOLD ONCE AGAIN WITH A CHAMPIONSHIP RECORD 84.70m Canada cements its golden reign in the hammer throw — becoming the first nation to win successive Olympic and World championships titles in the women’s and men’s events.

Sure, Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is great, but does anyone remember Mary Shelley's revised ending?

🇨🇦 BROOKE HENDERSON FOR THE WIN Canada’s Brooke Henderson has done it again. She claimed her 14th LPGA Tour title with a thrilling victory today. Henderson also won the Canadian national women's golf championship in 2018. www.cbc.ca/sports/golf/...

I have discovered the virgin mojito. That is all.

🇨🇦 MBOKO MAGIC IN MONTREAL Canada’s Victoria Mboko defeats Naomi Osaka 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 to win the National Bank Open in Montreal. The 18-year-old was fearless. Didn’t quit. And rode the wave of a raucous hometown crowd to a memorable title victory. Outstanding.

18-year-old Canadian women putting the world on notice. Summer McIntosh last week with four gold, one bronze at the world championships. Victoria Mboko into the National Bank Open championship this week. Making the country proud to be sure.

WORLD AQUATICS BEST FEMALE SWIMMER OF THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS Just announced. 🇨🇦Summer McIntosh is named World Aquatics best female swimmer of the world championships. She finishes with four golds, one bronze. Extraordinary performance.
