We're preemptively going to call it a snow day tomorrow, Sunday January 25th, and spend the day at home being cozy and warm with books.
We'll be closed for the day, but will re-open Monday January 26th.
Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience!
Oh, agreed. I'm very much a hot weather person. I'd pick a heat wave over freezing temperatures/snow any day.
I hope you're able to stay cool, though!
Agreed. It's supposed to be quite mild here comparatively, only 20-30cm. Figured we might as well not add to road traffic/be out when it's not necessary, though!

White paperbags on a table, with handwritten notes on them reading "Well, Hello, Mr. Grumpy pants.", "Stabby stab stab", "It's dangerous to go to outer space alone... Take this!", "Aww, who's a good boy?", "Ahh! Snakes! Or maybe dragons! I don't know, but run!", "Clothes? pfft. We don't need those where we're going.", "Purple Power!", and "It's not easy being green..." In front of these is an orange piece of paper that says "Mystery Used Book Bags! $5 each"
Our mystery $5 used book bags are back! We judge and label these *entirely* on their covers. Come get them while supplies last.

A poster for the launch of The Iron Garden Sutra, to be held at Bakka Phoenix in Toronto on February 28th at 3 p.m. EST. The poster is a dark space background with a sprinkling of stars. A.D and Sonia are pictured in black and white with yellow and purple circles behind them, respectively. There is an orange sticker with a cartoon drawing of a bowl of soup on it and a tag line of "there will be soup!". The Iron Garden Sutra book is also pictured. It has a yellow cover with black orbits on it and a black spaceship with a skull.
are you in Toronto or the GTA? do you like soup?
then, come out to the launch of The Iron Garden Sutra on February 28, 3p.m. at @bakkaphoenix.bsky.social!
the launch will also serve as the first-ever live recording of the murmurstations podcast!
*there will be soup, book signing, and treats!
I'm hoping for a bit of help here...
Tor has asked me if I have any minor corrections for the paperback edition of Lessons in Magic and Disaster. I know there's a couple typos and missing words in the hardcover edition, but can't find 'em.
Did you notice any goofs?
