Shaena and Jenna talk about the 5 children's books that were nominated for the Governor General's Literary Awards (2020). The books are: Nevers by Sara Cassidy, Pine Island Home by Polly Horvath, Harvey Holds His Own by Colleen Nelson, The Barren Grounds by David A. Robertson, and The King Of Jam Sandwiches by Eric Walters. Did these titles deserve to be nominated? What book did we think was going to win? Is it hard to read children's books as an adult? The conversation covers all these topics and more. On the Reading Break (21:58-28:06), Jenna talks about The Watchmaker Of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley, and Shaena talks about A Study In Scarlett Women by Sherry Thomas.
