Another year, another slew of awards, another night of regrets crawling into bed with books you barely know. With ties draped around our necks and neglected mascara gone semi-permanent, we bring you our favourite column on our worst feeling: the literary award hangover. Last year, we paired each shortlisted nominee of the Governor General’s Literary Awards, the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize, and the Giller Prize with what to read next; this year, we slept late, slept AGAIN in whatever filthy combination of foodstuffs “breakfast poutine” is, and then came up with this infographic that will helpfully point you to your next two reads, based on your favourite nominee, as soon as you’re feeling you can brave the day.*NOTE: While we didn’t feature the Governor General’s Awards in this round of hungovery-goodness, we highly recommend you head to our Book List of all the nominated titles from the GG’s, the Writers’ Trust, and the Giller that All Lit Up is so proud to host on our pages this year.
