New Releases for Fall 2013


If you thought your Must-Read pile was already towering, you might not want to check out this list of upcoming releases.  The tower will just become even more precarious. But if you're looking for more great #youngCanLit, there's lots coming.

As always, I wish I could post an image of every book listed and even all those set for fall release dates but, as always, there are too many books, too little time, and too little money to purchase all these books.  Special thanks to the following publishers for generously sharing copies of their books with me:
  • Pajama Press
  • Groundwood Books
  • Fitzhenry & Whiteside (Red Deer Press, Inhabit Media, Fifth House)
  • Penguin Canada (Puffin, Razorbill)
  • Ronsdale Press
  • Annick Press
  • ECW Press
  • Fierce Ink Press
  • Scholastic Canada
  • Coteau Books
  • Random House (Doubleday, Tundra Books)
  • Orca Book Publishers
  • Sourcebooks Jabberwocky
  • Second Story Press
  • Dundurn 
  • Great Plains
  • Owlkids 
  • James Lorimer
Thanks are also extended to those many authors who have made a special effort to get me copies of their own books, including Monica Kulling, Maureen McGowan, Cheryl Rainfield, Vikki VanSickle, Margaret McMaster and Adira Rotstein.

Apologies to any one whom I've missed in thanking.  You are all grand!
