McNally Robinson Booksellers, in partnership with CBC Manitoba and the Winnipeg International Writers' Festival, are proud to present Manitoba Reads, a friendly competition that asks you, the reader, to help choose a book for all of us to read.
A long list of 12 Manitoba authored books has been established, which you can vote on from now until August 12. The four books that receive the most votes will then be debated by a panel of literary pros in front of a live audience on Friday, September 21 as part of the launch for Thin Air 2012. After the debate, voting will re-open for the remaining four books, with the winning title being announced on the Weekend Morning Show on Sunday, September 23
For more information and to cast your vote, please visit CBC's Manitoba Reads page.
