Canadian Book Challenge 4

As I said in a recent post, I have decided to cut way down on the challenges I participate in.  However, this is one of my favorites and I'm not about to quite it, so I signed up for the 4th.

John of The Book Mine Set hosts this wonderful challenge and you do not have to be Canadian to join. 

The challenge is the same as before, to read and review 13 Canadian books.  Each participant gets to decide if a book qualifies for the challenge or not but basically if it's by a Canadian author, is about a place in Canada, or takes place somewhere in Canada, it qualifies.

What I have read so far:

1.Restitution by Kathy Kacer

2. Ape House by Sara Gruen

3. Bow Grip by Ivan E. Coyote

4.Last Night in Twisted River by John Irving

5. Essex County Vol.1: Tales From the Farm by Jeff Lemire

6. Room by Emma Donoghue

7.On the Proper Use of Stars by Dominique Fortier

8.Essex County Volume 2: Ghost Stories by Jeff Lemire

9.The World of the Polar Bear by Norbert Rosing

10. The End of the Ice Age by Terence Young

11. Essex County Vol. 3: The Country Nurse by Jeff Leire

12. The Nobody by Jeff Lemire

13. Sweet Tooth: Out of the Deep Woods by Jeff Lemire

14. Sweet Tooth: In Captivity by Jeff Lemire (Volume 2)
