I have just gotten back from a two week holiday, first in Alberta and then in Ontario. One thing that travelling always does is to bring new books into your life. Even nonreaders will often spend time getting a pocket novel from the airport shops. There is no disconnect in the book market across Canada, which is kind of surprising.
So what's hot this season.
Sarah Style - this has to be the top decorating book, as it features the much loved TV personality Sarah Richardson. The photography shoots are amazing and lots of people would love it just for that alone. The upbeat cover and enticing colours throughout make an irresistable buy.
Oh She Glows Cookbook - this book is almost more than a cookbook in fame and presence in the marketplace. The Canadian cover is far superior than the American cover, and I predict some visiting Americans will buy it and will think she also has another book out. A big appeal to long time vegetarians and vegan, who know Angela Liddon from her blog, and I expect lots of Canadians will be trying out these recipes in the new year.
The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules - these seems to be flying off the shelf. For the 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared crowd .... and there are plenty of them.
The Paying Guests - Sarah Waters has gone from newly discovered to truly popular in a few books. A great literary author.
Not That Kind of Girl - It's not chick lit, it is something else and females way younger than me have a copy or want a copy.
So what book are you hoping Santa will bring you? You could always buy it and wrap it from your Secret Santa.
