Jen Knoch's one-minute pitch for Good to a FaultThere we have it! With this final vlog for Good to a Fault by Marina Endicott, Jen Knoch of the Keepin' it Real Book Club has completed a full set of pitches for all five Canada Reads contenders, no small feat. Jen, it's been a pleasure to share your enthusiasm with our Book Club members. And best of luck to you and your crew with Civilians Read. If I could offer only one piece of advice going into the debates, it would be this: Books may not have sharp edges, but they still leave a mark. Wise proverb? Or the simple suggestion that when things get heated, you may need to duck? Take it as you will. (But a helmet never hurt anyone.)
Rosie's posted a new question pertaining to Good to a Fault. Of the eclectic cast of characters, she asks, which ones provoked a reaction in you as a reader? Who do you love or hate?
