John, me too. Who knew that this "too serious" adult could have so much fun reading children's books? Now I can't seem to stop.
Do you know if were at 1000 books yet? I may be able to one or two more in.

Good job, I read a number of extras too (23 altogether)but I love good Canadian literature and would have read them even without the challenge. I've read Edeet Ravel's books and the Gargoyle too. I found so many excellent reads for the challenge. I hope you'll be around for the next Canadian challenge.
