The 11th Annual Canadian Book Challenge Begins!

It's time for the next round of The Canadian Book Challenge to begin! This is year 11! This will be the 8th year I've participated.

 John Mutford of The Book Mine Set hosted for the first ten years. Taking over this year is Melanie of The Indextrious Reader.

What's the Challenge?

"The Canadian Book Challenge is an annual online reading challenge in which participants from Canada and around the world aim to read and review 13 or more Canadian books in a one year span: Canada Day to Canada Day. Reviews must be posted online and participants are asked to share links to their reviews with other participants.

This year's theme is a map: "We've all travelled a long way together over the past 10 editions of the challenge, so this year's theme is a readerly road trip over the highways of Canada."

I've met the challenge every year so far! It's a wonderful way to sample the great writing Canada has to offer and discover new authors. Interested in joining? Further details and sign up info can be found here. I'll be using this post to track my progress.
