Amazon.ca First Novel Award

Some goodies are up for this award, including....

• No Place Strange by Diana Fitzgerald Bryden (Key Porter Books)
• Come, Thou Tortoise by Jessica Grant (Knopf Canada) - loved it! I was just saying to some colleagues last night (we were discussing the fact that it's also on CLA's YA award top 10 list) that it's another of those great YA/adult crossover titles (Life of Pi, Curious Incident...)
• The Golden Mean by Annabel Lyon (Random House Canada) - I really have to make time for this one......
• Goya’s Dog by Damian Tarnopolsky (Hamish Hamilton Canada)
• Diary of Interrupted Days by Dragan Todorovic (Random House Canada)
• Daniel O’Thunder by Ian Weir (Douglas & McIntyre)
