Comments for the Canadian Book Challenge #4
The Canadian Book Challenge #4: 07/01/10
Last year Vasilly at 1330v got me involved in the Canada Book Challenge. Although I barely squeaked in with the minimum 13 books by June 30th, I loved participating. I am eager to jump into the fourth year of the challenge. I have a small stack of stragglers I had meant to read for the 2009-10 challenge but didn't get to. I will get them read for this year's challenge.
The Canadian Books Challenge is especially dear to me this year because I have a Canadian niece who will be celebrating her first birthday in a few weeks.

Glad to hear you enjoyed this challenge! I've read a ton of books this year but I have no idea which ones were from Canadian authors, so I failed this challenge! ;-) There's always next time!
Which book from this challenge was your favorite?

I have gotten compulsive about Googling authors to find out where they are from. I have a stack of books to read for this year's challenge.

I can't wait to see which books you'll pick this time around. Good luck!

I have a picture book by Julie Lawson, another Karl Schroeder novel, and one more book by Wallace Stegner. I don't know what the others will be yet.
