July 1, 2009- July 1, 2010
Thanks to John of The Book Mine Set for hosting this awesome challenge again!
You don’t have to be Canadian to join! Come join the fun!
Here’s what John says about the challenge:
From Canada Day to Canada Day, can you read and review at least 13 Canadian books?
Starting July 1st, 2009 and ending July 1st, 2010, I challenge Canadians and non-Canadians to read 13 or more Canadian books. Pick fiction, pick nonfiction, pick poetry, graphic novels, picture books, plays, etc– if it’s Canadian and if it’s a book, it’s in. What makes a book Canadian? Let’s ask Doug Webster:
“A Canadian book is defined as a book written by Canadians and/or about Canadians.
“What makes a Canadian?”Canadian refers to someone born in or immigrated to Canada.
“But you know, Doug Webster isn’t related to that other Webster. He’s just some guy from Scarborough. Besides, this is your challenge. You decide which books make the cut and which ones don’t.
Pick authors and books at random or theme your challenge should you be so inclined.

I am going to choose the random approach again. There are so many different Canadian books and authors on my TBR that I don’t want to limit myself.

Here is a partial list of what I hope to read:

1.The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch

7.Fox on the Ice by Tomson Highway

8.People of the Buffalo by Maria Campbell
9.Grease Town by Ann Towell
10. The Summer Before the Storm by Gabriele Wills
11. Galore by Michael Crummey
12.When Stella Was Very, Very Small by Marie-Louise Gay
13. Chicken, Pig, Cow On the Move by Ruth Ohi
