The Hon. Adrienne Clarkson, former Governor General of Canada, will be joining us on Sunday November 6th at the West End Cultural Centre for a special speaking event in support of her book Room for All of Us: Surprising Stories of Loss and Transformation (Allen Lane Canada).

Check out her recent interview with George Stroumboulopoulos online here.

Tickets to this special speaking event are $10 and are available at McNally Robinson Booksellers, Grant Park in person or by calling 475-0483. For more information visit the event listing here.

On November 12th, two Manitobans will be honoured at the 5th annual Independent Publishers Moonbeam Awards, held in conjunction with the 2nd annual Traverse City Children's Book Festival. The awards are "intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary children's books and their creators, and to celebrate children's books and life-long reading."

It's been an amazing run for Brandon author Craig Russell's debut novel, Black Bottle Man. The book, previously shortlisted for On the Same Page through the Winnipeg Public Library, as well as the Eileen McTavish Sykes Award for Best First Book by a Manitoba Author and the McNally Robinson Book of the Year for Young People Award (Older Category) at the Manitoba Publishing Awards, won the Gold Medal in Moonbeam's Young Adult Fiction (Fantasy/Sci-Fi) category. Black Bottle Man is also currently in the running for the Prix Aurora Award for Best Long Form Work in English.

Winnipeg's Rae Bridgman tied for a Bronze Medal in the Pre-Teen Fiction-Fantasy category for her book Kingdom of Trolls.
