This week, Bookends is celebrating libraries with a special Canada Reads event at the Hamilton Public Library.
Morgann Book truly lives up to her name. As one of Canada’s biggest book influencers, she shares her love of literature with millions of followers … and she’s taking that to the next level as a contestant on this year’s Canada Reads. Morgann is championing It’s Different This Time, the debut novel by Joss Richard. It’s a second chance romance about two former roommates with some very unresolved feelings, and it draws from Joss’s own experiences as a TV producer in LA.
Joss and Morgann joined Mattea on-stage to talk about exes, preparing for Canada Reads and why there are so many chefs in romance novels.
In just a few weeks, Morgann will champion It’s Different This Time on Canada Reads. She’ll go head-to-head with four other panelists to convince us why it’s the one book that all of Canada should read.
This year’s show is taking place April 13-16. You can find more information and keep up with the show at cbcbooks.ca.
