14th Annual Canadian Book Challenge

The Canadian Book Challenge was started in 2007 by John Mutford at the Book Mine Set and hosted by him for its first 10 years. Now the challenge is hosted by Shonna at Canadian Bookworm. I participated in the 6th, 7th, and 12th Canadian Book Challenges, and now I am back for more.

The goal is to read and review 13 or more Canadian books in a one year span: Canada Day, July 1st, 2020, to Canada Day eve, June 30th, 2021. Reviews posted online are required. That is the hard part for me, but I will manage.

What constitutes a Canadian book?

Canadian books can include any genre or form (picture books, poetry, novels, non-fiction, plays, anthologies, graphic novels, cookbooks, etc), can be written by Canadian authors (by birth or immigration) or about Canadians.

See the FAQ sheet for more information. The sign up post is HERE.

My reading plan:

I have already read one book by Louise Penny, A Trick of the Light, set in the province of Quebec.

My last post featured seven books by Canadian authors, and I plan to read all of those books. That  post is HERE.

Other than those books, I plan to stick with books I already own. Authors that fit that description are:

Brenda Chapman
Rachel Cusk
Vicky Delany
Jeff Lemire (graphic novels)
J. Robert Janes
Maureen Jennings
Dietrich Kalteis
Margaret Millar
Sam Wiebe
Eric Wright
L.R. Wright
