Proof of Life…
So, yeah, it’s been another hot minute since we’ve added something the stacks here at the Butterflies & Aliens Library but life is like that sometimes. And while we’re still in the thick of things, we thought we’d better pop our heads up and at least say hi…
Book of the Week: The Melting Queen by Bruce Cinnamon
This week’s Book of the Week is not quite as recent but it’s a good one well worth sharing…
Because stickers
This post for the Comic as Object Project doesn’t even care about the comic part… this one is just about the object part. We just get to sneak it into the project because the object incidentally happens to be a graphic novel… and apparently quite a well known and well regarded one. And by a Canadian creator. And also incidentally the same creator who was involved in our previous fancy box post.
Not important.
This is why we bought the book…
Small Press Saturday: House of Anansi Press
After another stressful week in the world, I’m planning on a weekend of news avoidance and indulging in nothing but books. And a great way to start this bookish weekend of mine is to introduce you to another small press!
While they are no longer super small, they are a lot smaller than Penguin Random House or Harper Collins – so say ‘Hello!’ to House of Anansi Press!
Small Press Saturday: Book*hug Press
Straight up, it has been a hell of a week. My avoidance techniques have included cooking, listening to audiobooks, working, and writing a couple of things for the Butterflies & Aliens Library. Talking about all things bookish is a welcome escape.
This Saturday, I am thrilled to introduce you to Book*hug Press.
Small Press Saturday: Goose Lane Editions
To provide a nice homebound and safe distraction from the state of the world, I am super happy to introduce you to the East Coast press, Goose Lane Editions! Goose Lane Editions is an independent press located in Fredericton, New Brunswick. While they are located in the Maritimes, they publish far more than local interest stuff…
Small Press Saturday: The Juvenilia Press
This week we are taking a bit of a personal twist for Small Press Saturday, with an introduction to The Juvenilia Press. The Juvenilia Press publishes early writings by children and adolescents, many of whom went on to become well-known authors as adults.
Curious to read a story written by Jane Austen when she was 14? Look no further…
Small Press Saturday: Now Or Never Publishing
Vacations have ended. Time has meaning again. Small Press Saturday is actually posting on Saturday. And this Saturday, I am thrilled to introduce you to a quirky and edgy boutique Canadian publisher – Now Or Never Publishing.
Small Press Saturday: Stonehouse Publishing
This week we are bringing things back to Alberta to introduce you to Stonehouse Publishing. This small press was founded in 2014 and is run by a team of women, led by publisher Netta Johnson. They focus on Canadian authors and publish four to six titles per year. They primarily publish literary fiction with commercial appeal but also publish some thrillers, mysteries, historical fiction, and some humour.
Small Press Saturday: Conundrum Press
Happy Saturday!
This week we are heading out to Eastern Canada to meet a small press that has been around since 1996 and has evolved into a well-respected publisher of literary graphic novels – I am happy to introduce you to Conundrum Press!
Small Press Saturday: Great Plains
Happy Saturday!
It’s been another tough week in Canada and the prairies are ramping up for an unprecedented heat wave. So, I thought featuring a fabulous prairie press would be apropos.
I’m thrilled to share with you Great Plains Publications, based in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Small Press Saturday: Nimbus Publishing
We are heading out to the east coast of Canada today to say “hello” to Nimbus Publishing. This independent press is the largest English-language publisher east of Toronto and specializes in content relevant to the Atlantic provinces. Which does not mean that their books are not of interest outside of the Atlantic provinces…
