The 2017 RBC Taylor Prize Shortlist Gets Personal. January 11, 2017. Today saw the announcement of the 2017 shortlist for the RBC Taylor Prize. And this time it's personal - the 12 title longlist was whittled down to just five titles, each of which tells a very personal story, with a particular focus on memoir and biography, signalling that this year's prize will focus on up close and individual stories. Governor General's Literary Award winner Diane Schoemperlen. The list is rounded out by Max Eisen.

Ever since high school (and an excellent teacher! Since beginning this blog in the not so distant past, I decided to formalize my interest in World War One by a personal reading challenge: The Great War Reading Challenge.

This is the Sovereign Ballroom in the King Edward Hotel. In Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This hotel is part of Toronto's history. And is well worth a visit or an overnight stay, if you can afford it! The event I attended included the five finalists for the RBC Charles Taylor Prize. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Shonn...
