Drink B.C. ciders, read Canadian books
I only drink one or two ciders a week, but that’s enough to have built up quite the collection over the past few years. Enough to sort them and rate them.
You can now see what I think about the ciders from B.C. They’re all rated out of 10, with comments, from the best at 9 to the worst at a measly 2. This uses the same data as my Ciders app.
If you don’t live in B.C., you’ll likely have a tough time finding them at your local liquor store. That’s why I’ve provided links to websites where you can, usually, order them online. There are a couple of exceptions where, sadly, the companies have discontinued cider production.
I’m also averaging about a book a week so far this year, and keeping track of them with ratings from best to worst. That’s nothing new, but I’ve decided to focus things up a little by only showing the books written by Canadian authors that I can recommend reading.
There are a lot of great Canadian writers out there, so it’s not like it’s a challenge to find them. My only real disappointment so far has been Ysabel by Guy Gavriel Kay. Maybe this is simply not a good example of his work. In any case, I can’t recommend it, so it didn’t make the list.
