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.
