Listen to Joe Planta interviewing me about the Advent Book Blog here.
December 2009 has been all about the Advent Book Blog for me.
The ABB – for short – has been an excellent project that has gathered together a huge range of people to recommend a huge range of new(ish) books for Holiday gift giving.
Julie Wilson is my partner in crime in organizing this viral online book community. For those of you who don’t already know of Julie, she’s behind the voyeuristic literary blog Seen Reading and is currently dividing what remains of her personalities between her life as Bookmadam and the mercurial Rebecca Wilcott.

We have done a few online written interviews over the past few weeks, too.
Erin Balser was the first one in the water with her Q&A for the Torontoist.com on December 1st.
Amy Logan Holmes and Clelia Scala of Open Book: Toronto interviewed Julie, me and ABE the Advent Book Elf a little later in the month.
Now, here’s a phone interview that I did with thecommentary.ca‘s Joseph Planta last week.
A great interview where we touch all bases of the Advent Book Blog from inception to execution. We talk about Vancouver book stores, the power within the bookseller/customer relationship and my upcoming brief custodianship of the commentary.ca while Joe takes a break.
Listen to the interview and let me know what you think.
