I read this book, I know I did, but it was before I started my blog, so I read it again so I could include it! Northwest Ferry Tales: Stories, Poems & Anecdotes Collected by Joyce Delbridge is (no surprise) all about the ferry system here in the pacific northwest. From routine crossings, to bad weather, dogs and more, this is a wonderful read (and re-read)! :-)

This area has a wonderful history involving trains. Great Northern Railway in the Pacific Northwest, by Jeff Wilson is filled with wonderful old photos of that industry. A little history, a lot of pictures! Good with a cup of tea. :-)

Here's another book from Canadian Reader, and, it's the first in a new series! (Well, new to us). ;-) Midnight Riot, by Ben Aaronovitch. Disappointed when his first assignment with the London Metropolitan Police is the office that manages all the paperwork, things change quickly when he is privy to information involving an odd case, and that the information can to him from a ghost. A nice touch of the real and the magical.
