SCOTIABANK GILLER PRIZE WINNER UPDATE

                     

                             

Congrats go out to André Alexis on his Giller Prize win!

The 2015 Scotiabank Giller Prize celebrates Canada's best fiction with $100K up for grabs! The great Giller gala goes down in Toronto on November 10th with a CBC broadcast at 9:00 pm ET and hosted by the ingenious Rick Mercer! Can you tell I'm just a wee bit excited to watch and see who wins? I must say the 5 finalists are a smart looking bunch with 2 savvy short story collections and 3 intriguing novels that should be added to any #CanLit fan's reading list ASAP. I have a soft spot for short stories so ARVIDA and DAYDREAMS OF ANGELS already made it to my Kobo. I've included a few handy dandy links below because sharing is caring and I want to spread the book love with my bookish friends. Check out the 5 finalists and the Giller videos for more info and follow the Twitter #GillerPrize social stream to see what fans are saying!

ARVIDA by Samuel Archibald, translated by Donald Winkler
