Winter Reading

I just found out that Calling Shotgun has made it to the second and final round of the Canadian Weblog Awards (not to be confused with the Canadian Blog Awards). The winning blogs are selected by a panel of forty-six jury members, and based on ten specific criteria. I'm tickled that Calling Shotgun made the shortlist in the Best Weblog about Writing and Literature category, and a huge thanks to the jury that liked it here. I've spent the last few days browsing through the categories and nominees and I have come to the conclusion that there are some fine, interesting people in this country. If you're looking for a great way to kill some time, you could do worse than browsing through this list of blogs.

Also on the good news front, Newfoundland and Labrador Public Libraries have finally launched an eLibrary, which is good news for everyone who got a Kindle or Kobo for Christmas. Now you can browse the catalogue, borrow a book, and have it returned without ever leaving your home. All you need is a valid library card. This is a service will be welcome in the coming winter months.

Happy reading.
