Four stacks of six Star Trek paperbacks each, all sitting in a row on top of a wooden desk. Behind them is the wooden stair railing.

Our 24 book haul of Star Trek paperbacks.

Four boxes of Star Trek mass market paperbacks, two half full, one full, one a quarter full.

Close up of some of the Star Trek books, TNG mostly but also OG.

*takes in huge breath*

BOXES AND BOXES OF STAR TREK BOOKS!!!

You're welcome.

We're down to the end of the sale here. A pretty good haul this year.

I do need to make a list of all the Kinsey Millhone alphabet mysteries that I still need. I think I've bought multiple copies. :)

We go every year. Have I read all the books I got last year? No.

At the CFUW Book sale and they brought out 4 whole boxes of Star Trek paperbacks!

It's the second day of the sale, so it's a bit picked over. Nevertheless, I grabbed some dated social science books, one computer book, and even a few Aubrey-Maturin books. #Waterloo #KitchenerWaterloo

I saw this post and was went out back to have a look at my rhubarb not expecting anything and YET 👀

Stratford GO Station reopens for service on July 6, 2026! One round trip will be extended from Kitchener GO per day.

This is the 72nd GO Transit station, and the only GO Station to be located outside the Greater Golden Horseshoe region.

The end of the sidewalk, where the concrete meets the rabbit-bitten grass. Seemed important at the time.

FOUND IT

GO train service to Stratford! news.ontario.ca/en/release/10...

A poster on a restaurant window as seen from outside with pictures and listings of their daily special: Monday Curry Chicken, Tuesday Stew Chicken, Wednesday Jerk Chicken, Thursday Curry Goat, Friday Fried Chicken, Saturday Jerk Pork, Sunday Curry Chicken.

A takeout container full of peas and rice, coleslaw, stewed carrots and a quarter leg of jerk chicken.

LIFE HACK: motivate yourself to go to that dreaded appointment by going to the Jamaican place around the corner afterward. It’s Wednesday. The special is jerk chicken, your favourite 🖤

It's officially Sunbeam Season

A black standard poodle sitting on a wooden dock. She’s looking up at the camera and giving it a little bleep. She’s wearing a large colourful Easter egg themed bandana.

She wants to say Happy Easter too before the day is out and her bandana is no longer ✨fashion✨

Cover of CHM Magazine, #70 featuring an island of ruins in dark waters. Above the central archway of the ruins billowing black smoke can be seen. Six tentacles emerge from the smoke, reaching for the sky against a dark orange sun. Grey clouds overwhelm what is left of some dark skies.

Book covers for The Great Big Bear(left) and The Purloined Poodle (right) by Kevin Hearne. The first features a gigantic mythical bear standing on his hind legs in a mountain valley roaring against a full moon as a white ma with red hair, an Irish wolfhound and a Boston Terrier stand watching from across a river. The second features the man, in a t-shirt and black pants, sitting in a wing-backed chair in front of a fireplace with his hands steepled and the wolfhound and Boston Terrier sitting by him on the floor.

The swag that came with the books arranged on a dark wooden table: stickers (a few of the dogs and Mothman holding a stack of flapjacks!), a bookmark made to look like a receipt from “Third Eye Books & Herbs” and a thank you note from the publisher that reads: “Hey there, Spiffy Reader! Thanks so much for ordering books from us. We love hanging out with people who read and if we could, by golly, we’d love to have some hot cocoa with you. But since we can’t, please pet that dog or cat, have a drink you like, read a book, and defy fascism. —Your friends at Horned Lark Press”

There can (still) be only one: Highlander is 40 Sure, it's cheesy in many respects, but its central mythology still resonates even decades later.

There can (still) be only one: "Highlander" turns 40. Sure, it’s cheesy in many respects, but its central mythology still resonates even decades later. And that soundtrack by Queen is perfection. arstechnica.com/culture/2026...

Oh lord, she’s back! ✨✨✨

A very poofy black standard poodle sits on a hardwood floor posing next to to the kitchen island. She’s looking at the camera, looking very much like a Muppet.

Behold the customary BEFORE picture as I’ve just stopped her off at the doggy spa and she’s going to be coming home in style ✨

A weathered metal door handle on a glass door. The handle is shaped like a giant pretzel sprinkled with large grain salt.

Where’d I get it? The pretzel place, it has a pretzel for a door handle!

My hand holding up a giant soft pretzel in the kitchen, golden brown and lightly salted. Behind is a white fridge on a hardwood floor.
