For me, a book I love (5 stars) is one that has changed my perspective in some way, that I will think about for years to come, and that everything about the book was perfect in its own way. I think that a re-read category would be more like cult classics/best of all time.

The Coal Harbour splash park is open at Harbour Green Park 💧

#vancouver #canada

A concrete plaza with water fountains sprouting up to form a splash park adjacent to the Seawall where people are sitting on park benches and using the waterfront walking path. Across the water of Burrard Inlet is the skyline of North Vancouver with hotel and apartment towers, all at the base of the north shore mountains - it’s a warm but overcast day
