    On Saturday, my friend and I found two businesses in downtown Uxbridge that were still open before…read more5 pm. We visited Blue Heron Books just before it closed at 5 pm. When we got there, a female staff member was starting to remove her books from the display outside. We had to pick up the browsing pace a bit inside the store. It is a small bookstore, but has its own charm. There were planners with colourful covers. Books were nicely organized by topic. It felt cozy browsing around. The store has wood panelling and floors. The rewards program at this bookstore is called Camp Penguin. I like anything that features penguins. If I lived closer, I'd enroll in the program. You get a canvas tote as a welcome gift. This place has the cutest pins, from owls with impeccable grammar, to declaring your love for nerds. There are some great gift ideas at this bookstore. The book drunkard festival takes place in Uxbridge. You see it being advertised towards the front of the store. Uxbridge is also known as the trail capital of Canada. Folks are so proud of this fact that you can get merchandise, such as caps and shirts, to flaunt this piece of trivia. My favourite section was the Mr. Men and Little Miss books. They still look like the ones that I grew up with. The characters also make me smile. We didn't buy anything, but were happy to browse before the store closed for the day. (312)

    This bookstore has been a fixture in Uxbridge for decades, so it's a tiny bit surprising that…read morenobody has written a Yelp review. Then again, a lot of semi-rural and outside big city communities tend to get overlooked unless there's a huge draw. Anyhow, this is a charming little bookstore. There's not a gigantic amount of stock, but it is well curated, carrying titles from current ones, to the Canada Reads finalists, to classics. One thing I was disappointed about, and I don't think this is their fault per se, is this. Uxbridge is touted as "Canada's Hiking Capital." Did I see any hiking books? I saw a couple of the memoir type hiking books, but the actual useful type ... nothing. There were maps .. but they were canoeing maps. My quest for a "real" hiking book for Canada continues unfulfilled.
