Great bookstore, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada




One year ago, almost to the day, I was at Granny Bates, a children's bookstore in Canada where I used to live.  Apart from being truly adorable (and well stocked), it carried my latest book!  I was so impressed!  Kudos to all the independent bookstores out there . . . it's not easy making a living competing with big box stores, Amazon and computer games.  Thank you for being there!

I loved the picture of Granny Bates Bookstore! I remember browsing there yrs. ago when I researched The Wreck of the Ethie. Don't you love all of those colorful homes & buildings?
A few days ago, I got my blog set up.. hilaryhyland.blogspot.com I just posted a picture of one of my Newf.dogs...Miss Mouse. She'd rather be in cool NL than steamy Virginia. Air conditioning, what a great invention!

I DO love those colorful homes!! I'm glad you got a chance to go to Granny Bates. It's in a particularly beautiful part of town.

Congratulations on getting your blog set up, too!
