Is #booksky for readers or writers? I have checked it out a few times and I've found mostly writers promoting their books. I'm looking for more of a book club type of thing where readers can discuss the books they've read. Is there such a thing on Bluesky? #Ilovetoread #booklover

Grocery shopping now takes me twice as long because I read every label- that's ok because I am retired and have the time. I just wish it was easier/faster to identify Canadian products for those who don't the extra time.

There is a covered bridge close to my brother's house on the Gaspereau River in New Brunswick. These bridges are historic, (not to mention picturesque) and they should be maintained.
