Do you have a Book Lover in your life?

Story

Welcome to the second annual edition of Holiday Recommendations from Alberta’s Independent Bookstores. These shops are community hubs and promoters of the arts, all around the province, and we always love to hear about the books that are flying off the shelves or piquing their interest. We invite you to support them when you do your holiday shopping.

We asked each bookseller to recommend two books. One choice could be wide open, and the other had to be by an Alberta author. Here are their choices.
