Advent Books: Great Books Recommended by Great People

by Dan
News / December 17, 2009

Advent Books BannerEveryone knows that books make great gifts right? But with so many books out there, how do you decide which ones to buy?

Well, if you're having trouble (and there are only 8 days until Christmas!), I suggest you get yourself over The Advent Books Blog ASAP. 

Set up by pals Sean Cranbury of Books on the Radio (Vancouver) and Book Madam Julie Wilson (Toronto), Advent Books is posting short (v. short in some cases!) enthusiastic book recommendations by authors, publishing professionals, bloggers, and booksellers.

All the books recommended are from the past year, but so far they've covered just about every genre, format, shape, size and colour. And with 17 days worth of recommendations already posted, there is surely just the book you are looking for!

Go! Go Now!
