The 49th Shelf's Valentine Day Contest

We love the folks at The 49th Shelf because they're all about Canadian books. The website is a treasure trove of information about authors, literary festivals, and anything to do with the Canadian book scene.

We love the folks at The 49th Shelf because they're all about Canadian books. The website is a treasure trove of information about authors, literary festivals, and anything to do with the Canadian book scene. (Check out their Read Local map to indulge your 100-mile book diet.)

One thing they like to do at The 49th Shelf is create thematic lists and this week they're running a contest to build a list of Canadian books with powerful love stories in them. They're looking for books that "have made your heart beat harder or broken it at least a little." We think there are plenty of Vancouver and B.C. books that fit the bill.

You can send them a tweet with the book title and #CdnBookLove, or add the title to a post on their Facebook page. Or go to the website and add it there.

And what's a contest without a prize? The winner will receive a $150 gift certificate to drop at their favourite local bookstore. And that's a great way to share the love.

Contest closes at midnight tomorrow night, February 14, 2013.
