It’s our 10th Birthday! Stop by if you are in the neighbourhood, everything is 10% off today!

Today is Lunenburg Bound’s 10th Birthday! Thank you to every one who has supported the bookshop. I am especially grateful for Ali’s love and support, for Mads and Tyler, for Kate and Jenny, for Jennifer and Carol, for Emma and Nellwyn, for Helah and Claire, for Rita and Michael and of course my Mum!

On Saturday May 10th, Lunenburg Bound Books will be celebrating our 10th Birthday. Everything will be 10% off!
Stop by, it will be lovely to see all the kind folks that make it possible for us to be a part of our community.

This goes right to the centre of the hypocrisy that is PP.

Fatima Hassouna, photojournalist, killed by an Israeli air strike with ten members of her family including her pregnant sister. Is there no point at which the world will say stop?

Oh I think Mitch McConnell has done about as much damage, it’s just that it took Mitch 30 years.

One night, two bookshops, five poets. Please join us at Block Shop Books and Lunenburg Bound Books for an exciting evening of poetry. Starting at 6pm at Block Shop and continuing at Lunenburg Bound at 7pm.

In case there is any doubt, Sim Kern lays it all out for us in their new book Genocide Bad.

"But here I am 40 years after my parents immigrated here, and just weeks before I’m due to give birth to our first child, and I feel more unsafe and unstable than I have in my entire life. US immigration ripped my soul from me when they handcuffed my husband and forced him into an unmarked vehicle.”

“I was born and raised in the midwest. My parents came here from Syria, carrying their stories of the oppressive regime there that made life unlivable. They believed living in the US would bring a sense of safety and stability.”

It would also help if Democrats didn’t support a genocide and offered a meaningful alternative to more neoliberalism.

While we are talking about great women and great books for International Women's Day, here is Songs of Eskasoni by the one and only Rita Joe. Happy International Women's Day!

Happy International Women's Day, let's celebrate all women today, and everyday.

I think it fair to say Canadians are feeling deeply betrayed right now, but more worrying is how little Americans seem to care that America is embracing fascism and most folks appear to be OK with that, it’s heartbreaking to watch.

From Omar El Akkad's poignant and timely new book One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This.

Call me old fashioned, but when the owner of a company is literally a super villain, comfortable publicly giving a Nazi solute, while personally financing a fascist president you really shouldn't be doing any business with his company. But that's just me.

Busy at the shop today?

Yes the world is falling apart, and very bad people are accelerating the process, but today the latest Barnacle issue is out. The Barnacle is a bright beacon of light and wonderfulness that we should all embrace, so do yourself a favor and pick up a copy before they are all gone.

Folks, please sign the pledge. It’s a small thing but there’s strength in numbers. It will let political leaders of all political stripes know that Canadians expect them to respect and uphold our values and democracy. engagement-canada-pledge.ca

Sometimes I think there is an inverse relationship between security and empathy.

Our dear friends are getting together and you are invited. Pearl's vintage is going to be popping up at Good Dog Books on Wednesday Feb 12th, 6-9pm. Good Dog Books is located right down town at 724 King St, in beautiful Bridgewater Nova Scotia. We hope to see you there.

We are going to take a little break and close the bookshop from February 17th to 26th inclusive. Sorry for any inconvenience, but it's time to catch our breath and get ready for a fun and exciting year ahead.

Could it have something to do with the influence of big oil on the thinking of citizens and the actions of politicians?
