Amazing novel in verse. Edgy, sad, based on true event.
Yesterday by C. K. Kelly Martin from Doubleday Canada.
Twisted manipulation of memories. Romance.
Sequel to award-winning Blood Red Road. I was afraid to finish it, apprehensive where it might go but thoroughly satisfied with its ending.
Picture book travels across our country.
Those books have all been read. The reviews just have to be written. We won't even mention the glorious books sitting in my ToBeRead pile.
But in the meanwhile, there have been book award winners and nominees about which to blog:
- Deborah Ellis' True Blue from Pajama Press wins Hamilton Literary Award here
- Rocky Mountain Books Award nominees for 2012-2013 readers' choice program have been announced here
- IBBY Canada's nominees for the international Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award have been announced, and
- I've been looking into the Aurora Prize, the Sunburst Awards and the Joe Shuster Awards for winners in children's and young adult book categories.
Then, there have been book trailers that I think look amazing, whether I've read the book or not:
- Crush. Candy. Corpse. from Sylvia McNicoll HERE
- Infiltration by Sean Rodman (Orca) HERE
- Dead Run by Sean Rodman (Orca) HERE
The book reviewer's lament: Why are there only 24 hours in a day?
Thanks for mentioning my book trailers, and glad you liked them! If you're interested, I'd be happy to send you copies of the books themselves :)
ReplyDeleteSo true. I'm off to check those trailers now: thanks!
