Fall is a great time to settle in for a cozy read, so join Shauna and Rebecca as they review a CBC Books list of "30 books to read now". Will they agree on their top three selections? Will Rebecca gravitate towards a time travel romance? Will Shauna go all out for a social science read? Check it out! https://www.cbc.ca/books/the-cbc-books-fall-reading-list-30-books-to-read-now-1.5290084
Also, they mention the process by which books make the longlist and finally the shortlist for CBC's Canada Reads. According to Tara Mora, Executive Producer, CBC Books and Literary Partnerships at CBC/Radio-Canada, "The CBC Books team works with each panelist directly, suggesting books to them based on their preferences and profiles as readers."
Finally, Shelagh Rogers program, "The Next Chapter" is what Rebecca was trying to recall. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thenextchapter

Shauna and Rebecca kick off their new podcast with October’s longlist title, The Crazy Game: How I Survived in the Crease and Beyond by Clint Malarchuk with Dan Robson. The book was originally published in 2014 under two titles, The Crazy Game (international edition) and A Matter of Inches, so many of you may have already read it. If so, why not revisit this compelling autobiography, and if not, join us in our first book discussion. After all, what better way to kick off a discussion of CBC's Canada Reads longlist titles than with a hockey memoir?!
