Weekly Geeks #15 is another super cool idea - Dewey would like every one to play a game called "What Is It?" using book cover close-ups.
I've decided to give my What Is It photos a theme - Canada Reads. Some of you may know about this, but for the ones who don't here is some info:
Canada Reads is a week-long CBC radio show hosted by Jian Ghomeshi. In this annual literary bun-fight, five celebrity panelists are asked to defend their favourite Canadian works of fiction. Day by day, books are voted off the list, until one panelist triumphs with the book for Canada to read this year.
| So now that everyone knows what exactly my theme is about, here are the covers I have chosen. One from all seven Canada Reads events. |  1. Rockbound |
 2. |  3. |
 4. Complicated Kindness |  5. |
 6. Next Episode |  7. Lullabies For Little Criminals |
Here are some other Weekly Geeks playing What Is It?

Hmm... Rockbound, A Complicated Kindness, Lullabies for Little Criminals(?), I'm drawing a blank on the rest.

Hmmm, I can't answer a single one of them! But I like your Canadian theme.
Rockbound, A Complicated Kindness and Lullabies for Little Criminals are all correct!
I found #6! Next Episode, by Hubert Aquin.
Yep #6 is right ali :)
That leaves 2,3 and 5 to answer.
I only knew 4 and 7 because I read them but 5 is driving me crazy! LOL I keep thinking I have seen it..hmmm. I'll keep pondering over it. :D
I had to find #5! I'ts- In the Skin of a Lion by Michael Ondaatje. I have Divisadero on my TBR pile right now- Ondaatje has been on my mind. :D
Nice covers but I am clueless! You were right on my blog--the author is Haven Kimmel.
Thanks for visiting!
