From now until Dec 7, we’ve got 20 books that are Just the Thing to round out your gifts.Gloria’s Guy by Joan Burrows (Playwrights Canada Press) If your giftee enjoys a sudsy soak after a long day, Gloria’s Guy by Joan Burrows is just the thing they’ll enjoying taking into the tub along with them. After a failed career as a lawyer leads him to working at his brothers Muskoka resort, Guy is reunited with his high school sweetheart—the girl he ditched at prom years ago and never heard from again. Old friends play matchmakers to bring Guy and Gloria back together in this rom-com that will help dissolve your giftee’s woes about what to cook for the 20th holiday potluck they’ll be attending this year—or at least put their troubles into a little light-hearted perspective.
What Kind of Man Are You by Degan Davis (Brick Books)Give him something extra to ponder in the mirror next time he’s using that new shaving kit you bought him by pairing the gift with Degan Davis’s debut collection of poems entitled What Kind of Man Are You. This bold and deeply moving collection prompts readers to explore the divide between the traditional male archetype and the many identities of the 21st century male through a modern day lens. In a language that resonates, Davis gives the unspoken a space in which to be heard.* * *
