I have a confession to make about this year's Georgian Bay Reads: I'm way, way behind in my preparations. Once again, I'm representing the Wasaga Beach public library in the annual literary smackdown, but oh, boy, I might be in some big trouble here.
I've spent so much time with running magazines the last while, I haven't even cracked two of the five selections.
As for my own choice, I read and loved it, and chose it from the list provided to me by readers in Wasaga Beach, but I haven't had a chance to re-read it and get ready to defend it as the book we should all read this year.
Eeek.
My selection, if you want to slip me a cheat-sheet, is Fall on your Knees, by Anne Marie MacDonald, whose work I just love love love. This particular novel is very dark with some really disturbing themes, but in the end, is about survival, if not triumph. At least, I think it is.... I have got to get down to work here.
