CBC.ca | The Homestretch | Book suggestions.

Not only do I enjoy referring to cats on a regular basis on this blog, but I also like to BROADCAST the fact that I’m a crazy cat lady as well. Click on the link above to hear that and my book picks for this holiday season. Oh, and do yourself a favor by finishing your Christmas shopping quickly and easily at your local independent bookstore.

The books I recommend on-air included: Life Class by Ann Charney, The Circle by Dave Eggers, Worst. Person. Ever. by Douglas Coupland, Simon’s Cat Vs. The World by Simon Tofield, Clearing the Plains by James Daschuk and Black Code by Ronald J. Diebert.

Book Review: Playing for Keeps Series by Becka Mack

My Last Two Summer Book Recommendations

Well, we’ve come to the end of summer, and this means my summer book recommendations on the CBC is also coming to an end. To commemorate the occasion, I got a little picture of myself and the trusty Doug Dirks to post up here, so you get a peek at the studio I inhabited for…

Book Review: Five Little Indians by Michelle Good

I won’t say my reading is influenced by awards, because it rarely is – quite often, my book choices depend on the themes I’ve come up with for my monthly radio segment, and the books that land on my doorstep for review. But every so often I break out of this pattern and pick up…
