What makes Canongate excited? – The good people over at Canongate Books have posted an excellent little rundown on the non-Canongate titles which they themselves are most excited about reading this year. I won’t steal any of their thunder by listing their choices here, (you’ll have to go over to Canongate’s website and check that for yourself), but I will say that Publishing Director Anya Serota is definitely the most excited about her choice. So excited is she that she’s even managed to miss out the letter ‘a’ from absolutely. Sorry I tease, and I’m such a hypocrite! Joking aside it’s a nice little post, offering some great reading selections.
