Happy Monday! We're welcoming the warm spring sun back into the shop—oh, how we've missed it!

I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman is finally back in stock! This was our January book club pick and a huge hit. We currently have a small stack at the shop! 📷 Photo by Raheleh.

Floral patterned notebooks for those of us who can't wait for spring to arrive. ✿

Tanya Tagaq's latest title is a sweet counting book for little readers. Follow the polar bears along their journey as they gain more friends to play, dance, sleep, hunt with! IT BEARS REPEATING is gorgeously illustrated by Cee Pootoogook.

✿ Beginning with 1 proud polar bear standing tall and ending with 10 bears waving goodbye, this delightful counting book shows polar bears in all their forms: slippery and fast, crafty and cool, hungry and proud.

Tanya has created a story meant to be read aloud, incorporating simple Inuktitut words and using her keen ear for the musical sound of language. ✿

Adult lit window update! Come brave today's tumultuous weather to find your next fave read (and bring a waterproof bag to protect it for the trip home!).
