Favourite Reads of 2007 - Library Wholesaler Picks

And finally, just squeaking in before the end of the year, are some favourite reads from United Library Services, a library wholesaler located in Calgary. We have recommendations from Robin Hoogwerf, the general manager, and from their Manitoba and Saskatchewan rep, David Larsen.

Robin's favourite reads:

Consumption by Kevin Patterson
Dream Wheels by Richard Wagamese - It seemed to fade away but was my favorite fiction from last year
Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah
Shaggy Muses: The Dogs Who Inspired Virginia Woolf, Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Edith Wharton, and Emily Brontë by Maureen Adams - I learned so much about this group of writers!
Jon Katz - any book from Jon Katz! For some reason his tone and pacing is like sipping Bailey's. Smooth and warm.

David's List (with help from his daughter Piper):
Crazy Man by Pamela Porter
Parvana's Journey by Deborah Ellis
Ottoline and the Yellow Cat by Chris Riddell
