CBC.ca | The Homestretch | Beach reads

ByAnne Logan July 24, 2013

Well I’ve got four radio appearances under my belt now. My voice may sound a bit off on this last one, as one of the CBC peeps advised me that I was talking to closely to the mic (who knew?) so I’ll make sure to keep my distance next Monday (from the mic, not the wonderful CBC people).

This was obviously a really fun segment to do, because the books are so light and fluffy-perfect for the summer! Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan and Beautiful Day by Elin Hilderbrand are the focuses for the segment below, so enjoy.

Book Review: How Can I Help? by David Goldbloom and Pier Bryden

I just spent the weekend with a whole whack of doctors. Well, that’s not totally true, most of them were at the tail end of their formal training, but they had all chosen their disciplines and were ready and willing to talk about each arm of medicine and the pros and cons of each. Being…

Book Review: The Nigerwife by Vanessa Walters

Valentine’s Day is no doubt going to look a little different for many this year, and for me especially this is going to become a family holiday more than it ever has in the past, because what else am I going to do on a freezing-cold Sunday in the house with my kids? Plus, having…

Book Review: The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead

I’m reminded of a particular quote: “This might hurt a little. Be brave.” when I think of The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead. That sentence appears at the beginning of Megan Gail Coles’ book Small Game Hunting, but it’s all too applicable to this novel as well because Reading Nickel Boys will be painful. I…

Book Review: Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys

Warning: another tragic story coming up. I’m not sure what it is lately, but the books I seem to picking off my to be read (TBR) shelf are heartbreaking. Good, well-written, but heartbreaking. Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys is based on the real-life maritime tragedy of the Wilhelm Gustloff, which to my surprise, has…

Book Review: Happy Hour by Marlowe Granados

Have you ever had the experience of reading a book, looking at a piece of art, or even watching a movie and feeling like you are much ‘cooler/hip’ for having taken it in? After reading Happy Hour by Marlowe Granados, I feel as though I’m on the cutting edge of something, but I’m not cool…

Anne, you’ve nailed it again! I always get such a chuckle from your interviews. I need to read this book, Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan. It sounds so opulent.[?]
