Dr. Emma LaRocque's Night Table Recommendations
by McNally Robinson - Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 at 11:12am

As a professor I am very busy and rarely, if ever, have time to read for pleasure. But I do usually enjoy the books I read as part of my research and teaching.

Presently, I am browsing through a number of books including: Other Destinies by Louis Owens; I Thought Pocahontas was a Movie edited by Carol Schicks and James McNinch; The Colonizer's Model of the World by J.M. Blaut; 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus by Charles C. Mann; One Native Life by Richard Wagamese and any poetry by Pablo Neruda or Louise Halfe.

For pure fun or relaxation I read Winnie the Pooh (I have many collections). Or the Library Lion or laugh over cat pics and sayings in cat calendars.

Lee Lamothe Night Table Recommendations
by McNally Robinson - Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 at 11:10am

When I'm writing well I don't read much and so for the past year I have a stack of books waiting to be started or finished. And because I write late into the night and get up very early, I don't have a night-table; in fact I don't often use a bed. I unroll a sleeping bag on the floor of my office with the cats so my wife can sleep through the night. A lot of books get read not at home, but in various places as I travel.

I like to read far above my weight. It shows me what writing can be when its done right.

This year's ceremony will be hosted by Neil Besner, Vice President and former Dean of Arts of the University of Winnipeg.

Nominees and winners are selected by jurors drawn from across Manitoba and Canada.

2010 Indies Choice Book Awards
by Margaret Saull - Sunday, Mar 14, 2010 at 3:39pm

Independent booksellers in the United States each year choose what they think are the best books published for children. The list is big, as is the American Booksellers Association that sponsors these awards. The reason this list is of interest to us is because we wonder if these choices will appeal to Canadian readers as well.
