I can see you are all stampeding to respond to yesterday's challenge. Perhaps you have been speaking to my children, who were often promised rewards for good behaviour. Once they cottoned on, the good behaviour stopped.

The GRAND PRIZE was a kiss.

How about a virtual kiss? No? Well then, what about ephemeral notoriety on the net????????

VIRTUE IS ITS OWN REWARD.

I'm off to the tea reading. It takes hours to make me fit for public exposure. That would be hair, nails, waxing...

Say Hello to The 49th Shelf!

Looking for your next great Canadian read? You’ll likely find it at The 49th Shelf, formerly The Canadian Bookshelf. On Tuesday, the interactive virtual library went from beta to official, unveiling its new name.

The 49th Shelf is also pleased to announce the addition of a new lead sponsor: Amazon.ca. The collaboration between the two sites is aiming for increased visibility for Canadian books.

The 49th Shelf offers listings for a seemingly endless list of Canadian titles. Visit 49th Shelf.com to check out this virtual bookshelf of Canadian books.
