Come for the books. Stay for the courtyard. Say hello to a goose.

@the.next.chapter.br is exactly the kind of place you hope to stumble across while exploring Bear River.

You never quite know what you’re going to find here — which is half the fun of a used bookstore.

And the other half?

Giving a great story another chapter.

There’s a bookstore in Bear River.

Now you know. @visitbearriver #bearriverns #visitbearriver

The Next Chapter Book Battle is on!
I challenged bookstore owner Vivek to pick the perfect book in four different categories...
☀️ Beach Read
✈️ On the Plane
👻 Scary
📚 Non-Fiction
We each chose one book for every category...
Now it’s your turn to decide who got it right!
For each photo, tell us whose book you’d pick:
Beach Read: Summer Sisters by Judy Blume vs Firefly Summer by Maeve Binchy
On the Plane: The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins vs 61 Hours by Lee Child
Scary: Misery by Stephen King vs Weaveworld by Clive Barker
Life Changer: Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom vs Barney’s Version by Mordecai Richler
Non-Fiction: Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain vs Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer
Cast your votes in the comments. Let’s see if I can beat the bookstore owner... or if I should stick to tourism.

“Look at that. Wow.”

And really, what else is there to say?

You can see a hundred photos. Watch the videos. Read about the whales that return to the Bay of Fundy year after year.

But then you’re standing on the deck of a boat off Brier Island and one surfaces right in front of you.

And suddenly, you understand.

This is what 40 seasons of @brierislandwhalewatch have been about — giving people the chance to experience a moment like this for themselves.

Because no matter how many times you’ve seen a whale…

there’s still that moment.

“Look at that. Wow.”

From research to tourism — and 40 seasons later, still doing both.

The photo on the left is Harold Graham in 1985.

The photo on the right is Harold today.

And there are a lot of whales, miles and stories between the two.

The story of Brier Island Whale & Seabird Cruises didn’t begin as a tourism business.

It began with research.

Forty-two years ago, Harold became part of an effort to study the whales being seen in the waters around Brier Island. What they discovered helped reveal just how extraordinary this part of the Bay of Fundy is for observing and studying whales in the wild.

And people wanted to see what they were seeing.

Two years later, Brier Island Whale & Seabird Cruises began taking visitors out on the water — creating an experience that allowed people to encounter these incredible animals while helping support the research that started it all.

This year marks their 40th season of whale watching.

The boats have changed. The equipment has changed. Generations of visitors have come aboard.

But the connection between research and tourism remains.

Every trip is an opportunity to watch. To learn. To understand.

And to share the waters Harold has spent more than four decades helping others discover.

1984 → 2026.

Still watching. Still learning. Still heading out.

Fireworks over Digby followed by an incredible GeoMatrix fire show brought Digby Scallop Days to a spectacular close last night.

A huge congratulations to the organizers, volunteers, performers, vendors and everyone who helped make the weekend happen — and to all of you who came out and filled Digby with so much energy.

What a weekend. What a finale.

See you next year, Scallop Days!
