And in prize news, congrats to Marie Landry for reading & reviewing a book published in 2017 and winning a copy of Mitzi Bytes by fellow Canadian author & blogger Kerry Clare (you can find her at Pickle Me This)
Sadly, my count now stands at three, but not for lack of trying. I picked up May Agnes Fleming's novel Edith Percival thinking it would be a fun, fast summer read, only to discover that my old Street & Smith copy (c. 1917) was just the first half - and that the publisher had sold the second half as a "sequel" titled Caught in the Snare. And so, I read that, too.
ReplyDeleteI counted it as one because I'm honest... more honest than Street & Smith, anyway.
Yikes, that's crazy Brian. Glad you managed to find the second half.
DeleteOh those tricky publishers. I guess one was as good as the next ;) (enjoyed your post)
DeleteStation Eleven brings me to 3/13 - I don't know if it hits the September challenge, I haven't seen an e-mail this month?
ReplyDeleteStation Eleven is such an interesting book -- even if you didn't love it as much as I did, thanks for sharing it :)
DeleteOnly book 2 of 13 in the challenge but it was 608 pages.
ReplyDeleteYikes, that's worth at least 2 books! Hope your next one is more concise to make up for it!

ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI am at 35/13. That was my total on August 31st. I couldn't post my totals for some reason.
Happy unofficial Fall all!

Hi Irene! Are you able to post your review links to the linkup? Or is that the part not working for you?

ReplyDeleteJust finished #13 ... "Toronto and the Maple Leafs: A City and Its Team" by Lance Hornby
ReplyDeleteBurma Chronicles is 3/13 if I count the 2 Canadian books from August I was too late to create a link for. My August books were Indoor Voice by Jillian Tamaki and My Best Stories by Alice Munro.
ReplyDeleteExcellent -- add your August links to this month's roundup so everyone can read them :) All reviews welcome!
Delete4/13 for the challenge. Just finished The Education of Augie Merasty: A Residential School Memoir.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI've posted my latest book review. This is book 4 of 13.
Glass Houses brings me to 3/13.
ReplyDeleteWith Carson Crosses Canada I'm at 11/13. I've been using my name with the links, rather than "Pussreboots." Sorry for any confusion.
ReplyDeleteThird this month brings me to 5/13 with The Last Neanderthal. Wasn't thrilled. My next Canadian book, though, that I just finished but haven't yet written the review for, is OUTSTANDING. (American War by Omar El Akkad.)
ReplyDeleteI think I'm up to 9/13.
ReplyDeleteThis entry makes 5/13....Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI have finished two. Lots more for my own book themes and overall reading but we're talking about Canadian of course. They are both urban-based even though they travel. I'm working on a third urban one, a good old Niagara Escarpment mystery by the great Howard Engel. I'm making sure these get in on time since the prize categories apply to me.

ReplyDeleteDr. Helen Norrie's book is urban but not Paulette Bourgeois's. I don't think draws go by quantity. It's probably one name in the bowl for everyone who's in. Congratulations, winners thus far. Please call my profile "RIEDEL Fascination" or "Carolyn @ RIEDEL Fascination" if there's room, now that I'm on the board. http://cmriedel.wordpress.com/reviews-canadian/
ReplyDeleteMordecai Richler's The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz makes 7/13. This is an urban novel, set in Montreal (with some side trips to resorts on the outskirts of Montreal and one memorable visit to New York).
ReplyDelete6/13 for the Challenge. Just finished 419 by Will Ferguson.
ReplyDeleteJust finished 7/13: Eyefoods. It's a nonfiction book all about foods that are good for great eye health.
