Jann Everard launched Blue Runaways at McNally Books on the weekend. What book launch is complete without on-theme cookies and a handmade quilt of the cover?

This week our readers (and editors) are recommending some great Canadian books! Which one do you want to read?

Our very own reviews editor, Owen Percy from Dundas is loving Sonnets from a Cell by Bradley Peters and says, "this book is a crucible where freedom and institutionalizations wrestle it out."

Sue Nador from Ottawa strongly recommends Blue Runaways by Jann Everard, a story collection that introduces women at their respective turning points: "Each woman is figuring out how to fill a hole in her heart."

Jann Everard's debut collection Blue Runaways launches today!

The women in these stories face the most human of fears: that dear ones die, love is a risk, and no promise is certain. By confronting the sorrow of being alive, Blue Runaways reveals the joy of knowing we are not alone. Find a copy at your local bookstore, Indigo, or Amazon.
