Late Nights and Infinite Playlists

I've been in reading mode lately. I finally got to The Kite Runner, and then picked up Jennifer Weiner's Good in Bed. Finished that and re-read Monkey Business by Sarah Mlynowski (one of my favorite authors, and most definitely my favorite Canadian writer). Now I'm on to Elizabeth Hay's Giller-winning Late Nights on Air, a book based in Yellowknife - where I lived for two years as a teenager. Exciting!

I've been buying books, too. Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer last weekend, and then yesterday I went and picked up Rachel Cohn and David Levithan's Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. Oh, and today I almost impulse bought this book. It looks amazing, and I just did some research and found out that the guy's father wrote a memoir also, about raising an addict. I'll likely read both, hopefully sometime soon.

So many books! I love it!

Keep an eye out for award news - The League of Canadian Poets is presenting the Pat Lowther and Gerald Lampert Awards in Newfoundland tonight.
