Every year on cbc radio and television there is an event called Canada Reads. It is basically a battle of the books. There are five panelists each championing a chosen book. After the four days of debates the book with the most votes is crowned champions. It is a lot of fun and kind of quirky as this is actually popular. Who would have thought that people debating about books would be such a ratings hit?
Well the Waterloo Public Library is hosting it's own version, calling it Waterloo Reads. The books that were chosen are all evergreen nominated titles. (To learn more about this and other nominations in the Forest of Reading program put on by the OLA click here.) The books look interesting and a lot of them are on my to read list, I guess they have no moved up to the top. I am going to list them on the side and in a tab above. Hopefully I can get around to reading most of them before the event! It looks like it will be a fun evening.
