What kind of books will Canary choose?
Expect thoughtful fiction, Appalachian and regional writing, memoir, essays, independent presses, unusual nonfiction, and books that may not have found you otherwise. Some will be new releases. Others may be overlooked books that deserve another life. The selections will vary, but Canary will always be able to tell you why the book is worth reading.
