thanks to john mutford for hosting, to Zachariah Wells for donating the poetry book I won. I don't need a challenge to read Canadian books but it is lots of fun when other people are reading them too, and I am learning about authors I haven't read before.
See ya July 1st to start again, ya hosers.
I still have 4 books to go! AAAAGH! will I have enough time.....I have started my new collection for when the second challenge begins July 1, which I made easier by making it mostly novels! Congratulations to you, you hoser, for finishing early! rats.... I have 36 days to go.....and I love your reading from every province. did you notice a difference in style or tone, or anything that made it noticeably Canadian? (since you now have all this time on your hands....!!lol)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Quite the assortment of books, and a great one to end on. I've read four of those on your list (London, Clarke, Richard, and MacLeod) and enjoyed each one. I'll probably read Zipp's book in the 2nd challenge.
