The third book in Kelley Armstrong's Darnkess Rising was released this month.

This is a great supernatural series for young adults from Canada's most well-known Fantasy writer.

This is the story of Dr Alfred Jones, a fisheries scientist - for whom diary-notable events include the acquisition of a new electric toothbrush and getting his article on caddis fly larvae published in 'Trout and Salmon' - who finds himself reluctantly involved in a project to bring salmon fishing to the Highlands of the Yemen - a project that will change his life, and the course of British political history forever.

With a wickedly wonderful cast of characters - including a visionary Sheikh, a weasely spin doctor, Fred's devilish wife and a few thousand transplanted salmon - SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN is a novel about hypocrisy and bureaucracy, dreams and deniability, and the transforming power of faith and love.

It is also the store bookclub pick for May.  And a movie with Ewan Mcgregor.

The perfect guide for both seasoned and novice “seaglunkers,” the Sea Glass Hunter’s Handbook reveals how to locate the best beaches and predict optimum conditions; understand coastal access laws; determine the personal and profes- sional value of sea glass; and identify the source of individual fragments. Sea glass connects civilization and nature, often in surprising ways. This guide investigates how tiny bits of glass and ceramic have engaged generations of avid collectors throughout the world.

Sadly we said goodbye to this winter's Writer in Residence.

Her book is a great local interest title, and if you have worked in the woods there are probably stories to which you can relate.

Dr. Phil is back and better than ever!

I suppose with the great weather everyone has been getting out and enjoying the great outdoors.

A point of interest - there is a recent biography about one of Jim Pojar's botany buddies, Vladimir Krajina. These guys did some very important work in identifying and clasifying BC's ecological areas.
