Winnipeg, MB - Polls are now open to select the book that will get Manitobans On The Same Page for 2013-2014. The public is invited to visit OnTheSamePage.ca to vote for the book they’d like to see featured in the next edition of this annual project which encourages all Manitobans to read and talk about, the same book at the same time.
The On the Same Page shortlist for 2013-2014 consists of:
- The House on Sugarbush Road by Méira Cook (Enfield & Wizenty)
- The Lucky Ones by Anne Mahon (Great Plains Publications)

- No One Must Know by Eva Wiseman (Tundra Books)
A reading from all four shortlist titles will be held at McNally Robinson Booksellers (1120 Grant Avenue) on the evening of Tuesday, September 10, just before the voting closes on Friday, September 13.
