The longlist for the ReLit Awards was unveiled late last week, and long it was! The novel category alone includes 41 titles. But don't take my word for it. Go check it out for yourself!
Also, Book Expo Canada was held this past weekend in Toronto. Many big names came out for the event, including Robert Munsch, Paul Gross (the director/producer/star of the new film Passchendaele, which was just named the opening film at the Toronto International Film Festival), and the man of the month himself, Rawi Hage.
But really, the biggest story that came out of BEC 2008 is the rumor that it may be held in the fall next year. This drastic change may be accompanied by limited public access to Book Expo 2009, in an effort to create more buzz around the event. Thoughts?
