That's a new one to me. I hope you're enjoying the book - I've heard it's wonderful!
thanks for dropping by and visiting.
I've seen this book on several bloggers' sites. I'm not sure if I would enjoy it. Will wait to see what you have to say.
Knew to me too ! Thanks !
This book looks good! I read Michner's "Alaska" not too long ago and I think the area is interesting!
An interesting word, heard a lot about the book.

I lived in Western Canada for a few years, so have heard Athabasca before, but had completely forgotten it- thanks for the memories.
