Life Shaping Books

Have you seen our new site? Go, now, we'll wait - <a href= "http://bookshelf.ca">Bookshelf.ca We are so excited to have it launched and to have all of our blogs, reviews, articles and calendars in the same place. Building the site (and re-designing, and re-designing, and re-designing) felt like a life changing event for everyone at The Bookshelf, which reminded us of some of the books that have had a huge impact on our lives. Steph talks about the first time she understood what narrative can be, and Candice thinks back to being a precocious and curious child.  Books mentioned: The Green Ribbon from <a href= "https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/108538.In_a_Dark_Dark_Room_and_Other_Scary_Stories"> In A Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories Harriet The Spy by Louise Fitzhugh Nancy Drew by Carolyn Keene The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin Films mentioned: The Grand Seduction I Saw The Light Miles Ahead Links: Orange Street News written and edited by Hilde Kate Lysak Authors for Indies April 30th Canada Film Days   Please leave us a <a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/village-podcast-from-bookshelf/id1055498626?mt=2"> review on iTunes and subscribe using your podcatcher of choice.
