Cozy Up With These November Reads

Posted by Alexandra C. | Tuesday November 5, 2013

I don't want to be a downer or anything but, uh, November kind of blows. It's cold. It's dark like all the time and here at CA HQ, Christmas is still sooo far away. Also, we've already eaten all our Thanksgiving leftovers and we've overdosed on our Halloween candy. To get us in a good mood, we think it's time for a pick me up. We're thinking some quality 'me' time, a warm cup of tea and a good book by a fireplace.

Here are a couple of new reads to curl up with and getcho' literacy on:

What a tradition! It saddens me deeply that such an iconic and traditional and important Canadian brand has been sold to the Americans.. sigh.. tis the way our whole country seems to be going :( Check out The Sisters Brothers, and Ablutions, by Canadian author Patrick DeWitt. Awesome, fast reads !
