What's your top pick for our 2016 winter book list?


While some are wondering when winter's really going to start, Checkup will not be taken by surprise. It's time to stock up on books for the cold, dark months. We want to hear from you! What's your top pick for our annual winter book list?
More from the episode:
On this week's program, we heard what books Canadians have enjoyed and are looking forward to for the rest of the season. Not only for the on-air program, but also for Checkup's annual list of good winter reading.
We heard from a lot of genres... fiction, non-fiction, memoir, poetry and the only rule was that the book had to be available either in print or as an ebook.
Our question this week: What's your recommendation for Checkup's annual winter book list?
