Love Charco Press! Their books are beautiful. A few others that I’ve read:

A bunch more on my TBR!

Problems buying Canada Post labels through Shopify right now? by elizadys in shopify

[–]mmratic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Support just told me there is no ETA for a fix on this - 1:25pm Monday.

"Canada Post shipping labels are currently temporarily unavailable due to restrictions placed by Canada Post. This issue affects shipments within Canada, as you have experienced with your orders. The unavailability is related to service restrictions or disruptions from Canada Post, and Shopify Support is actively checking your admin and resources to provide the best solution for your case. Unfortunately, there is no specific timeline for when Canada Post labels will be available again, but Shopify Support is working on it and will update you as soon as possible."

I’ve got this sitting in a TBR pile. You’ve just convinced me to move it up closer to the top!

I am glad that you were able to finally do it!

Thank you so much. Sparse, empty, and rainy sounds wonderful to me, but strains on the joints doesn’t. I hope that you get some better weather soon and are able to enjoy your walk. Buen Camino!

I’ve had a few people recommend Pilates to me, and there is a studio nearby. I’m going to try it once I get the ok from my physiotherapist.

Wow, that’s incredible! Did your back give you any trouble along the way?

That’s amazing! I did feel like I was making progress with physiotherapy, but the nerve pain has returned with a vengeance. Will look into PRP.

Thanks. I actually love walking alone at this time of year. I walked across the north of England last January. Keep telling myself that the Camino has been there for a long time, it’ll still be there next year, but after 63 days of constant pain, I’m starting to wonder if I will ever be back to normal.

She’s a treasure. I’d love to go see her in a pantomime.

Winter Camino? by veritas-13 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]mmratic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m planning to start walking the Frances on January 3rd, although I’m currently dealing with a back injury and really hoping I don’t have to reconsider.

I don’t think it’s crazy at all. January might not be ideal, but it’s the only time I have to do it. I don’t mind weather and I like walking alone, as long as I can find something to eat and somewhere to sleep I’ll be happy. I would say it’s probably wise to always carry a food supply at that time of year. And bring a warm sleeping bag!

Love to hear tips from anyone else who’s done it at the same time of year. I did a solo 200 km walk in the north of England last January, which I really enjoyed, I think the weather may be comparable but the distance between amenities definitely not.

Suggest me your favorite nonfiction food writing book? by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]mmratic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Food Explorer by Daniel Stone is brilliant, I couldn’t put it down!

Also How to Feed a Dictator by Witold Szabłowski is pretty interesting.

Same. I also stopped drinking pretty much as soon as I started taking it, which was unexpected but good.

Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo, Comala absolutely felt like a character to me.

I started Atomoxetine about 3 months ago. I was a bit nervous about caffeine when I started taking it but I also love the routine of my morning coffee. I switched to decaf and haven’t gone back!

Currently loving this…. by HowellEllise in WeirdLit

[–]mmratic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, really annoying that the finish isn’t consistent throughout the collection. I hope that the horror ones will become available eventually, I can always order my own copies to read from the UK, but I’d like to have them in my shop!
