Can anyone tell me when kids are out of school for Spring Break in Alberta? Does it vary?

Be ever so nice to get to 100 ratings by Christmas, if anyone is feeling rate-y

The Dark Times of Nimble Nottingham — my debut novel about grief, monsters, war, unattended kids, and a really good dog — takes place over the course of a few blacked out nights leading up to Halloween. What better time to check it out than now?

I don’t want to help Amazon. Seriously. I try and shine a light on independent book stores whenever I can. But, $7.29?! For hardcover?!

Teachers, librarians, spooky book fans young and old, check out this deal!

In this hilarious and heartfelt debut graphic novel by @zombicatures, a girl born on a day considered unlucky in Chinese superstition starts to wonder if she really is cursed when she’s troubled by visions of doom set to occur on her thirteenth birthday. #TheManyMisfortunesOfEugeniaWang
