The Savvy Reader

We're Bringing Savvy Back

So we've been off seeing the world the past few weeks and so regular updates have been sparse. But we'll be back on track this week (starting tomorrow) with new top 10s, some Savvy Reading recommendations for the summer, and two new episodes of "On the Fly".

The Savvy Hiatus

Well my Savvy Reading Peeps, I'll be on vacation starting in about 1.5 hours and out of the country so there won't be any updates here until I get back on June 1st. That said, I can't leave without at least giving up some links, so here we go for a Friday:

• Jon Evans picked up by BoingBoing and wow, some people have got their heads... wait. Never mind.
• Our First Look members have some really great things to say about The Art of Racing in the Rain. Also, check out Garth Stein's interview on Juicespot.ca.
• Good news from our Children's Group: The Space Between by Don Aker is the honour book in the Canadian Library Association Young Adult Canadian Book of the Year and Darkwing was named a Red Maple Honour Book at yesterday’s (very chilly!) ceremony at the Harbourfront.
• Check out Alan Cross on BT!
• Barbara Gowdy is a finalist for the Trillium Book Award. Winners will be announced on June 12th.

Welcome to the Savvy Reader

Welcome everyone to the new blog for HarperCollins Canada - The Savvy Reader.  In partnership with our other online endeavors, which include our corporate site, HarperCollins Canada - The Reading Group on Facebook and MySpace, we wanted another outlet to get people on the web talking about our books.

In these pages over the months ahead we'll have author interviews, special inside scoop on what's up in the world of Canadian publishing, and lots of fascinating information in bite-sized pieces about our books. We're already thinking like savvy readers - all that remains is for us to write it down!
