2018/2019 CANADIAN READING CHALLENGE

Target - 12 books from Canadian authors in 2018/2019

A challenge that initially I thought I could complete last year, but obviously not. I'm a bit tardy when it comes to completing these things. You only have to look at the US State Challenge which I started in 2014 and haven't kept on top of or updated in years.

Well I finished this one anyway and encountered some good books and a few great ones.

A few authors I've read before..... Dietrich Kalteis, Sam Wiebe, Tom Pitts, Linwood Barclay

A few new-to-me authors...... Margaret Millar, Mike Knowles, John Farrow

And more than a few that I never got around to this time..... John McFetridge, Giles Blunt, Howard Shrier, Brad Smith, Michael Van Rooy

Settings mostly Canada, but also Kansas, Vietnam and San Francisco

Looking forward to more of the same in 2020, possibly stretching to 2021!

Full list below, which came in at more than 12




1 - Sam Wiebe - Invisible Dead (2016) (March, 2018)
