Trylinski Books

We had our February book club meeting on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 at the Library.

In January we started reading The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. As this is a very large book, we have decided to read this book over two months (January and February).

At our meeting everyone said they are enjoying the book. We all felt that the characters and story are very interesting.

At our March meeting on March 10, 2010 we will discuss this book some more.

Up coming selections:

• March 2010 - The Bishop Man by Linden MacIntyre
• April 2010 - 2nd Chance by James Patterson
• May 2010 - World without End by Ken Follett

We had our January book club meeting on Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at the Library.

Our December selection was This Year It Will Be Different by Maeve Binchy. A collection of 15  Christmas tales about love and family snarls in the season of comfort and joy, set in England, Ireland,  and Australia.

We discussed this book a bit and the consensus was that it was not what we expected for Christmas stories and  most of us did not enjoy this selection.

If you would like to read other books by Maeve Binchy, you can find more books by her on www.amazon.ca.

Our January book club selection is The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. As this is a very large book, we will be reading the first half of this book in January and the second half in February.

Happy Halloween everyone.

It was a very nice evenining for all the trick or treaters. We had about 35 or so children this year.

We also had a couple of pirates visit us this evening.

In the middle of last week it snowed here in Pangman. A bit early for my liking. I hope it does not stay.

This is a photo I took from my deck.

One Saturday morning in July at the Farmer’s Market here in Pangman, Saskatchewan I met a local author, Peter Sotropa. He told me all about his book “Looking Up“.  After talking for a while he asked if I would be willing to sell his book on my table at the Farmer’s Market and on my website. Of course I said yes as I feel it is important to promote local authors.

Today, I have listed Looking Up on Trylinski Books. This book has beautiful color illustrations done by Peter and the story is very uplifting. If you feel down, just read this book, it will make you smile. Be sure to visit his website at The Owls Nest for more information.

Peter and his wife own Harvest Pie Company. They make homemade pies ready for the oven. We purchased one of their Wild Blueberry pies from our local Co-op and it was delicious.

There is a Farmer’s Market here in Pangman, Saskatchewan on Saturday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. We have had a table at the Farmer’s Market with a selection of our used books and some of the crafts that I make (knitted dish cloths and baby blankets) as well as some children’s puzzles.

Below is a photo of the Farmer’s Market held on July 11, 2009.

The above photo appeared in “The Weyburn and Area Booster” paper on July 25, 2009. My husband, Phil and I are at the first table in the photo.

At the Farmer’s Market this past Saturday, August 8, 2009, there was a pancake breakfast. The Honourable Dustin Duncan, Minister of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sports of Saskatchewan attended the Pancake Breakfast and the Farmer’s Market.  Phil and I visited with him at the breakfast and later he came over and purchased a book from our table.

I hope everyone is having a great summer.

Who is Grannymave you ask? Grannymave is Mavis Paterson who is biking across Canada, with her friend Penny Weir, to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

On Friday, June 20th while we were having coffee at Kathy’s Place, our town cafe here in Pangman, Mavis stopped in to have breakfast. Apparently Mavis is biking across Canada, with her friend Penny Weir, to celebrate her 70th birthday and also to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. She is from Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Unfortuantely, her friend Penny had to be flown back to Scotland due to health problems, but she was hoping to meet back up with her soon so they could continue their trip across Canada together.

Mavis told us about the Good Samaritan near Eastend who invited her to her home and let her stay overnight. About the stay at the Hotel in Cadillac where someone told her the story of the “Phantom Horseman”. She also asked us about The Red Coat Trail (Highway 13), which she had been biking on. You can read about her visit in Pangman here on her Blog. And, you can find more information about The Red Coat Trail at Saskatchewan Tourisim and at Wikepedia.

You can read all about Grannymave’s trip on her blog and also find more information about it at her website.

Happy Canada Day!!

Well, we lived through the big move to Pangman, Saskatchewan. We even have most of the house set up, but next will come the big job of getting all the books back on the shelves and on the website.

Here is a photo (side view) of our new home in Pangman.

Great news, we are moving on June 1, 2007 to a new location in Pangman, Saskatchewan. We have found a great place there for our home/internet bookstore.

During the next few weeks will be packing up books and packing up our house. As we pack up the books, we will be removing them from the website and after our move, we will relist them as we put them back on the shelfs.

Please note that we will be closed from June 1st to the end of June and if all goes well should have all our books relisted by the end of June.
