Ok, folks, I'm doing my patriotic duty and signing up for The Canadian Book Challenge 5, hosted at The Book Mine Set. Don't you love this awesome logo?
So I fell down on the job and did not complete the 4th challenge, but as I was a newbie to blogging and to challenges last year I did not have a plan. This year, I have compiled more than half of my reading list so far, just from the books patiently waiting on my shelf or on my nook:
- The Day the Falls Stood Still by Cathy Marie Buchanan
- The Free World by David Bezmozgis
- The Bishop's Man by Linden MacIntyre
- Beyond the Blue by Andrea McPherson
- The Factory Voice by Jeanette Lynes
- Doing Dangerously Well by Carole Enahoro
- King John of Canada by Scott Gardiner
- The Stone Angel by Margaret Laurence
- The Diviners by Margaret Laurence
- The Road Past Altamont by Gabrielle Roy
- Irma Voth by Miriam Toews
- Practical Jean by Trevor Cole
- Stanley Park by Timothy Taylor
Any other Canadian books (fiction or non-fiction) that I should add to my list?
I never know whether an author is Canadian or American, I'm afraid to say. I've come across a few Canadians this year, but who were they again? :-)
ReplyDeleteI can remember only Lawrence Hill, author of The Book of Negroes. Ah, you read this already, didn't you? Shall I wipe my comment? No, maybe someone else likes to know! :-)
Otherwise, I can't think of any, but I have never heard of any of those on your list.
I know a few of them, but haven't heard of others. I look forward to reading your reviews.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a plan, but I will be starting the challenge with Happenstance by Carol Shields.
