Sitting at the CTV Newsdesk beside Lloyd Robertson and doing our silly little scene together was one of the finest and most surreal honours of my life. He was our first 'celeb cameo' on Corner Gas, and once he'd done it we were legitimized. Because no one was more legit than him. #RIPLloydRobertson

There's so much good stuff here. A Jen yelling list of great, obscure fic is like stumbling over a little treasure chest. GRABBING SOME OF THESE RIGHT NOW
My last category is the non-category of other books I wanted to yell about. Some of these have review numbers so low it is an ACTUAL CRIME. A crime against me. Luckily for you I believe in restorative justice.

Oh sure, when Dylan and the Band do it, it’s “revitalizing traditional American music in an innovative, free-spirited manner,” but when the Replacements do it, it’s “playing too many 1970s AM radio covers of bubblegum pop and classic rock songs while inebriated”
I remember buying old paperbacks here a lot when I was like 12. The whole category of like a used bookstore that basically only sold pocket sized paperbacks is completely gone now tho
