Hmm... is this an official challenge, or just something that you're doing on your own? Because I would so seriously join in on something like this. I don't read enough Canadian authors as it is. (Though, knowing me, if I were to participate in a challenge like this, half of the books would be by Will Ferguson.)
ReplyDeleteI am going to set a challenge for you....it's the "How do I keep track of all of my challenges" Challenge!
ReplyDeleteJust kidding! LOL!!
Court - Feel free to join in!
ReplyDeleteMarg - I rearranged my bookshelves.
oh, great idea for a challenge! I also have several Canadian books that I never seem to get to. So many challenges! Would it be bad to have several books overlapping them all? :P
ReplyDeleteNope. The point is just to read more authors from your own country
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved A Song for Arbonne. GGK has some very good books. I think I haven't read him since Sailing to Sarantium, though.
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm going to join you. Once I make a list of the Canadian books I have, I'll post on my blog. Could be a week or so.
ReplyDeleteI would love to join this challenge, but I have far too much on my plate already! Maybe I'll steal your idea for something in late spring. Perhaps a Nationality Challenge of sorts. BTW, I just posted about Stuart McLean's Vinyl Cafe today (12/13)! Love his stuff!!
ReplyDeleteHi there. I linked here from tanabata's entry about your challenge. I'm new to blogging and reading challenges, but I thought I'd just throw a comment here and let you know that it's a great idea and I'm joining you in this goal. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, this is an inspiring idea. I'll join in as well, and post my ongoing Canadiana reads on my blog. Good luck with your choices; I've read a few of them and look forward to hearing what you think.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteSome authors notably missing that folks might consider adding:
Pierre Berton
Stuart McLean
William Deverell
John MacLachlan Gray
Ian Thomas (yes, the singer! His first novel is called "Bequest")
