Shelf Exposure, Ep. 4: Donna Morrissey

Donna Morrissey shows us some priceless family mementos alongside some of her most-read books.

Donna Morrissey, author of The Deception of Livvy Higgs (Penguin Canada).

Donna Morrissey, author of The Deception of Livvy Higgs (Penguin Canada), is one heck of a live wire, so we couldn't wait to book her for an episode of Shelf Exposure. On the day this was recorded, a tropical storm lashed about Halifax, yet Donna appeared, cozy and safely ensconced in the room that holds all her books.

If you're new to Shelf Exposure, it goes like this. We invite writers to revisit their shelves to identify themes among the books they've collected over a lifetime. Then, we enter a lightning round, during which participants are thrown a host of requests, their only task to hold up a book that satisfies each one.

Bring out your books! Show us your goods! Expose your shelf!
