"Like many Canadian authors, my career has depended on indie bookstores. But more than that: I love them as a reader. Indie bookstores are havens of taste, flavor, intelligence, and warmth. There is no force in the world better at getting the right book into the hands of a reader that is going to love it than a personal recommendation from a passionate bookseller. Thank you all."
--Emma Donoghue, author of The Paris Express, in one of the "Author Love Notes" being featured in anticipation of Canadian Independent Bookstore Day
