The 49th Shelf

Looking for your next great Canadian read? You’ll likely find it at The 49th Shelf, formerly The Canadian Bookshelf. On Tuesday, the interactive virtual library went from beta to official, unveiling its new name.

The 49th Shelf is also pleased to announce the addition of a new lead sponsor: Amazon.ca. The collaboration between the two sites is aiming for increased visibility for Canadian books.

The 49th Shelf offers listings for a seemingly endless list of Canadian titles. Visit 49th Shelf.com to check out this virtual bookshelf of Canadian books.

THE WALLFLOWER CONFESSIONS

5. Neurotic Writer Waits for Attention (or Look at me, I Wrote a Book)

Every Saturday I am not reviewed by an Esteemed Books Editor (“EBE”) in A Large National Paper’s First Fiction section. Every Saturday, I start the weekend by being almost pushed down the stairs by 3 ravenous, raccoon-sized cats, who shove me into the kitchen before I can make the turn to go to the front door. As I pour the kibble, I think, please EBE, please. He does not hear my silent praying. It never occurs to me to actually take this up with God, who has often hung me out to dry as an intervener in the past. Now I pray directly to the guy who can make things happen. Please EBE.
