A few weeks ago I kicked off our cross-Canada blog tour with B.C. blogs. This week I'm heading north to the Yukon. Now, as you may or may not know, in addition to ten provinces Canada also has three territories (if you thought there was only two, you were right until 1999 - I'll get to that in another post). For a primer on the Yukon territory check out Wikipedia or the Government of Yukon website. You can find such interesting tidbits of information such as the fact that while Yukon is the smallest of the three Canadian territories it's still larger than California! But who wants stats when there are Yukon bloggers to explore?

I'm moving in 16 days to another city. I calculated things last week and this will be my tenth move in just under 11 years (not including the time that I stayed on my friend's floor for three weeks because I was homeless).Moving seems to be in the air this spring. Denise is moving across the country which means packing up her rainbow bookshelves. Iliana announced last week on Bookgirl's Nighstand that she's moving to Austin and now has to pack up all her books. Leila at Bookshelves of Doom bought a house recently and is moving too. We live in different cities (and in my case a different country) but we all have one thing in common - we have a lot of books to pack.

There are legions of book lovers who will search the internet for that out of print book that they just have to get their hands on. It might be a childhood favourite. It might be a book that they've never read before. But they just know that they have to have it. Faber and Faber may be making that search just a little bit easier with the recent announcement of their print on demand service for out of print books.

If you are a Canadian there are certain terms you've likely known since infancy and no I'm not talking about "eh". I'm talking about "double double" and "timbit". For the uninitiated a "double double" is a coffee (two cream, two sugar) and a "timbit" is a doughnut hole that is sold at that Canadian institution Tim Horton's (aka Tim's, Timmy's, Timmy Ho's, etc). A teeny-tiny $0.16 doughnut hole. And giving away a single timbit got one single mom fired.

I've frequently noticed that books travel in circles. I'll read a review at one blog, then it will be on another, and then another, and another and another. They frequently are not the books that will reach the top of the New York Times best books list. But they might make a blogger's list for fun books at the end of the year. One of the books that I've been noticing, and which has just come out in paperback giving it a good shot at beach reads lists, is Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen.
