Currently savouring this treat by Calgary author Yvonne Kjorlien, whose amazing writing pulls us into the world of an anthropologist about to go on a first contact mission. Highly recommend! Also, if you’re into forensic archaeology, check out her podcast Scattered - fascinating!

@AndieJustAndie I loved Man Called Ove so much so will def add this to my reading list for this year.

Quiet Christmassy vibes in Greer, South Carolina, where I am here for a team workshop. It’s always cool meeting team mates for the first time from all over the world.

Current read - not my usual fare but enjoying the 3 female protagonists, each seeing each other through different lenses, only partially accurate. The descriptions of the family-specific behaviours, jokes, and language and the resulting tensions made me think about my own.

@Dendritic_View Yum!

YYCites- if you don’t know this place, look it up. Just a few apricots left but they have BC peaches, melons, veggies galore. Big flats of BC blueberries right now. So many healthy treats.

Current read: This was a fun YA intro to the world of Jacoby and Abigail Rook, supernatural detectives.

If you are interested in Canadian history, pick up this beautifully moving book by Catherine Clement on the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1923. We were lucky to catch her talk at The Confluence yesterday.

@Dendritic_View I get it.

Current read: I think every foodie has a love for this guy in some way. I have one of his episodes on Spain saved on the PVR and still can’t quite bring myself to delete it.
