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: Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane

Have you seen the movie Shutter Island starring Leonardo DiCaprio? If you haven’t yet, read the Shutter Island book first.

Book Review: Tiny Lights for Travellers by Naomi K. Lewis

I realize that the word ‘brave’ is overused when describing memoirs, but simply writing an honest account of one’s life IS an act of bravery these day when a huge chunk of the population are hesitant to post a single unflattering picture of themselves on the internet. No one wants to read a book that…

Book Review: Brother by David Chariandy

I loved this book. Brother by David Chariandy is a must-read, and I completely understand why it’s making all the prize lists this Fall. It recounts the childhood and early adulthood of a sensitive Michael, and his older brother Francis. They live in a small apartment in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough with their extremely…

None of This is True by Lisa Jewell book

Book Review: None of This is True by Lisa Jewell

For someone who enjoys reading thrillers as much as I do, some may be surprised to hear this is my first Lisa Jewell book. She’s a mega author in the UK having written 21 books and selling over 10 million copies worldwide, so I thought this would be the perfect book to bring on a…

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.[?]
