what to reeeeaaaad...

I don't know what to read next. I read a couple romances, and just read a mystery. I've been in the mood to read the Canada Reads winner, The Book of Negroes, but I ordered it online and it hasn't arrived yet. (Hey, even the indigo.ca discounts are sometimes higher than my store discount! If you haven't heard of Canada Reads, see the end of the post.)

Hmm. I could keep on the mystery theme, and read the Murdoch mystery I bought awhile back.

Or go with the literary mood, and start something I have on hand, such as Pamuk's My Name is Red. I also ordered The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, which has very high ratings, and takes place in a country I've never read about--the Dominican Republic.

Oh la oh la. I both love and hate that in-between moment of having to choose the next book!

Canada Reads celebrates five Canadian books for three months online, on the air and at public events. It all leads up to a week-long show hosted by Jian Ghomeshi. In this annual title fight, five celebrity panelists defend their favourite work of Canadian fiction. One by one, books are voted off the list, until one panelist triumphs with the book for Canada to read this year.
