Enter to Win a Copy of The Seven Djinni by Mike, Linda and Louise Carey

Monday, Mar 26, 2012 at 7:33pm

ChiZine Publications was kind enough to donate five signed copies of their chapbook The Seven Djinni by Mike, Linda and Louise Carey, the authors of The Steel Seraglio.

In The Steel Seraglio, the Seven Djinni are described as "the axle on which the world turns" and can alter reality for their supplicants (though never in the way one might think). In my interview with the Careys, I asked the authors what they might ask of the Djinni. If you'd like to be entered to win a copy of The Seven Djinni leave us a comment, a tweet or email me (chadwick [at]grant.mcnallyrobinson.ca) with what you'd ask of the Djinni and at which of our two locations you'd like to claim your prize.

(No purchase necessary. One entry per customer. In-store pickup only. Only Canadian residents eligible to enter.)

Canada Reads, Manitoba Style: Claudia Garcia dela Huerta attests to "Something Fierce"

Wednesday, Jan 18, 2012 at 5:24pm

Paging all booklovers! On January 25th, at 8 p.m., CBC Radio and McNally Robinson Booksellers invite you to Prairie Ink Restaurant for an evening we're calling: 5 Writers, 5 Readers, 5 Minutes.

Canada Reads 2012 features five non-fiction titles this year, and in our regional warm-up to the national CBC Radio book brawl, five well-known Manitobans have been matched with the five titles. Up to Speed host Larry Updike will invite each reader to share their insights with the audience, each with a unique presentation lasting only five minutes. Well, maybe ten. No debating, no brawling, but plenty of insight, humour and stories.

Find out more about the evening and corresponding Big Ticket Contest that could see one lucky person walk away with the five nominated books and dinner for two at Prairie Ink Restaurant by visiting the CBC Manitoba SCENE website. You can also visit them on Facebook, Twitter and stay tuned to our own front page for a feature interview with all five of the evening's advocates!
