What people are saying:

Hello! I’ve even heard of you over here in Oxford, England…I used to live in Winnipeg, and my friend Pamela sent me your ‘100 real reasons to love Winnipeg’. I like all these reasons, but relate particularly to your reasons 51 and 52, because I’m Scottish and definitely think you can be generous and parsimonious all in one – that’s what the whole Scottish nation is like! Thank you for your list – it has made my day, because I too love Winnipeg. - Marjory Szurko, Librarian, Oriel College, Oxford

Blogs

This is a list of nice things that nice people out in the world have said about us on their blogs. (Click on the speech bubble to read.) If you're looking for my blog, I don't write one. I write a weekly email called This Week at Aqua Books. There are a few tidbits of that over here.
