What a fine selection of books, Bill. I definitely see some that I'd like to add to my reading list. As time goes on, I hope things will continue to move a bit closer to whatever normal is, so that these events can be done in person. Of course, online is a lot easier for people who live far away, but still...
ReplyDeleteMargot: Thanks for the comment. I am starting my reading on the shortlist for Best Novel Set in Canada. Going forward I am expecting a lot of hybrid events - in person and on Zoom.
DeleteI enjoyed my judging experience, Bill. Thanks for suggesting me for it.
ReplyDeletePenny: Thanks for the comment. The CWC and myself appreciate your participation as a judge. I am glad you had a good judging experience. It is an interesting process for a reader and lover of books.
DeleteI find myself most looking forward to the results for the newer category, The Howard Engel Award for Best Crime Novel Set in Canada.
ReplyDeleteAnthony: Thanks for the comment. I will be reading the books in that category from the shortlist. I am not familiar with the winner, C.S. Porter.
