Once again, John from Book Mine Set is hosting this awesome challenge!
Here’s how John explains the challenge (please click on the picture about to go to the challenge site to get all of the details):
Starting July 1st, 2008 and running to July 1st, 2009, I challenge you to read (and write about) 13 Canadian books (by Canadians and/or about Canadians).
The first Canadian Book Challenge was a huge success, and hopefully the 2nd will prove to be even more fun. If you haven’t already, sign up now. Sign up any time within the year as long as you think you can finish.
Unsure what books to read? I’ve compiled a huge, but by no means complete, list here. These of course are simply suggestions, perhaps you’ve got an entirely different 13 in mind.
For the first Canadian Book Challenge I chose to read 13 new to me authors. This time I am going with 13. The Free Spirit- Just pick 13 Canadian books and have fun!
