I’m speechless – TBLP made CBC’s Top 40 List

Wow. The Best Laid Plans has been voted onto the CBC Canada Reads Top 40 Essential Novels of the Decade list. I’m blown away and very grateful for all the support. I didn’t dare dream of making the cut. But now, the slate is wiped clean again, and the voting begins anew as the Top 40 list is winnowed down to the Top 10, from which the celebrity panel will select the five Canada Reads books. Then of course they duke it out on the radio, leaving one book standing, the Canada Reads 2011 selection.

So, once more to the barricades!

So at the risk of wearing out my already overtaxed goodwill with you all, you can now vote to put The Best Laid Plans into the Top 10 here. You can only vote once, but there’s no time like the present.

In the graphic below, you can see the cover of TBLP in the bottom row. It’s nice that my friend Cathy Marie Buchanan‘s great debut novel, The Day the Falls Stood Still also made the list.

Thanks again for all the support. I am truly grateful.
