8th annual Canadian Book Challenge - FINISHED



I've already signed-up but I'm a little late getting this post up.  I had plans to read a bit more than I got around to this month but oh, well.  Here we go!

I've been in this challenge of John's since day 1 and while he always mixes things up and makes it fun for us every year the challenge is always the same.  Running from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015 read 13 books by Canadians, about Canadians or set in Canada.  I don't usually have a theme or anything that organized but this year I am going to try and read a "Dear Canada" book each month, doubling up once for a total of 13 Dear Canadas.  Big fail for July, though technically it is July 31, and I've just started my first one :-)
