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.

Joel Plaskett is turning 50 in a few days, and his longtime manager, Sheri Jones, surprised him with this album of cover songs from his catalogue, recorded by friends and colleagues. An amazing tribute, and I can't wait to listen to the whole thing.

Always late, but here's my March wrap-up. Only a little annoyed that I finished my two longest reads on April 1, so they don't appear here.

Hey, are you on @thestorygraph.com yet? If not, what are you waiting for?

My March wrap up from The Storygraph. I read 7 books, 1282 pages, 16.85 hours of audiobook. Average rating of 4.11, so a pretty good month! A collage of the front covers of my March reads with ratings

The theme for this week's #ShowMeYourKnits is baby items. One of my go-to items to knit for babies is a blanket. I've knit the Chevron Baby Blanket from Espace Tricot 3 times! It works up really well in Caron Cakes, if your recipient is okay with acrylic yarns. #KnitSky #BabyKnits

Lily Chu has gained my undying respect and gratitude by correctly using the phrase, "on a deserted island." I suppose "desert island" is considered common usage by now, but I'll never stop railing against its use. In any case, read The Comeback; it's a good one.
#BookSky📚
The cover of The Comeback, by Lily Chu. A "comic-style" drawing of a woman in a dark grey, ribbed, high neck sweater with a large black sun hat with a white band around the brim edge. She has long brown hair and is wearing a slight smile as she pulls down her white rimmed sunglasses to reveal her eyes. She is wearing a watch on that arm, turned around so the face is on her wrist. The watch has a pink strap and a rectangular face with diamonds around it.

Barely two months into his presidency, Donald Trump has devastated global sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Canada remains a global leader in SRHR but a federal election on April 28 means the stakes are high - Canada’s commitments to SRHR are more important as ever.

More green knits for #ShowMeYourKnits. Socks and mitts of all kind nds are my favourite things to knit 💚
#KnitSky🧶 #GreenLove
A pair of handknit green fingerless mitts are shown on a tan back ground. The left mitt is modelled on a white person's hand and the right mitt lies palm up beside it. There is a textured pattern that comes to a V on both ends of the mitt. A pair of feet wearing handknit green socks are crossed over each other, outside. The socks are slightly fuzzy and have a simple trees shape (like veins of a leaf) running down the front. The feet are resting on grey square paving stones and there is snow in the background. The person is wearing dark blue jeans with the cuffs folded up. A white person's right hand is modelling a green handknit fingerless mitt against a stone background. The palm is facing the camera and the mitten has a textured honeycomb pattern. A white woman with dark brown hair models a handknit hat with a large pompom. It is knit in a light green variegated yarn, mainly in garter stitch with lines of knit stitches running vertically. It is slightly slouch. The woman has her head tilted forward and is looking down at the ground. She is wearing a black tshirt and is standing in front of a stone wall.

Not the greenest of knits, but extremely important and relevant, given the most recent news and Israel's continued genocide against Palestine. I adapted this flag from a pattern by Wendy/@wendebular (Rav and IG) for a friend to wear on a bag strap.
#ShowMeYourKnits #ProPalestine
A small Palestinian flag, handknit entirely in garter stitch is shown (angled and upside down) worn on the strap of a messenger bag. The bag is worn by a person in a black fleece, with the strap worn across the chest, and right arm visible.
