Like for most, 2020 was an unusual year for SaskBooks. We weren’t able to take our great Saskatchewan-published books to our adoring readers throughout the province, nation, and world, like we love to do. However, people were turning to books for comfort and diversion, and so they came to us, making loads of orders through our online store, over the phone, or through the mail with our Read Saskatchewan Catalogue.
Here’s a list of titles that proved popular through SaskBooks in 2020:
