The Canadian Book Challenge

 

 

 

The Canadian Book Challenge was created by John Mutford on his blog The Book Mine Set, with the goal of reading 13 or more books in a year. Currently in its 8th year the challenge begins on Canada Day (July 1) and ends on the following Canada Day. I only just came across John's website a couple of days ago, so I am quite behind the rest of the readers. However I still have time left and I am eager to see how many Canadian books I can read in the remaining months.
