Melwyk, I do hope to read the work of a Canadian author soon. Perhaps I will actually reach that goal in the new year!

ReplyDeleteFinished #11! The Firebird. It had travel in it! :)

ReplyDelete4/13 comics; NT, YK, NU, ON, MB, BC, and NL off my provinces/territories 13 (10 in total)
ReplyDeleteJust finished #18 ... "Unmarketing: Stop Marketing. Start Engaging." by Scott Stratten
ReplyDeleteJust finished #19 ... "QR Codes Kill Kittens: How to Alienate Customers, Dishearten Employees, and Drive Your Business Into the Ground" by Scott Stratten
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThis is book 8 of 13 for me. Have a great day!
Grandma's Little Darling is number seven for me. A 1990 horror novel set in Minneapolis, it is not recommended. Great cover, though!
ReplyDeleteThis brings me to 7 of 13.
ReplyDeleteI'm at 19 now.
ReplyDeleteThe Micmac: How Their Ancestors Lived Five Hundred Years Ago is #12 for me. And it has travel - "In their big canoes they traded and raided..." Plus reading about history is a form of time travel IMO. #Canbookchallenge
ReplyDeleteHistory as time travel: good point! One I can agree with. My uni degree was history & literature and I really feel they go together perfectly in this way.
DeleteJust finished #20 ... "Crying for the Moon" by Mary Walsh
ReplyDeleteJust finished #21 ... "The Book of Business Awesome/The Book of Business UnAwesome" by Scott Stratten
ReplyDeleteYou've been on a real Scott Stratten roll this month -- hope you learned many useful things along the way!
DeleteFinished #12 for this Challenge. "Lifting Hearts Off the Ground: Declaring Indigenous Rights in Poetry" by Lyla June Johnston & Joy DeVito
ReplyDeleteMordecai Richler's The Street makes 11/13.
ReplyDeleteI'm at #9 with Glass Houses by Louise Penny
ReplyDeleteAnother Ethel Wilson Novel - Swamp Angel - puts me at 2/13. (But there are more Can-book reviews to come.)
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I do love Ethel Wilson.
DeleteJust finished #22 ... "The Moscow Code" by Nick Wilkshire
ReplyDeleteThe Lotterys Plus One brings me up to 20.
ReplyDeleteJust finished #23 ... "You Might Remember Me: The Life and Times of Phil Hartman" by Mike Thomas
ReplyDeleteJust finished #13: The Unquiet Dead.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on hitting your 13!
DeleteI'm at 5/13 now with Grave Secrets...I may continue my run of Kathy Reichs :)
ReplyDeleteCinnamon Toast brings me to 4/13. I linked it a while ago, but forgot to comment until Lisa reminded me. Thanks Lisa!
ReplyDeleteI'm at 21 with We Are the Engineers.
ReplyDeleteDazzle Patterns brings me to #21. And Minds of Winter probably qualifies as having a travel theme. (polar exploration)
ReplyDeletePolar exploration is definitely travel ~ one of my favourite kinds -- at least to read about ;)
Delete4/13 comics; NT, YK, NU, ON, MB, BC, and NL off my provinces/territories 13 (11 in total)
ReplyDeleteAnd definitely a lot of travel in Bitten!
4/13 comics; NT, YK, NU, ON, MB, BC, and NL off my provinces/territories 13 (12 in total)
ReplyDeleteAnd lots of travel in Good Time Girls as well!
You are really reading quickly this year -- like to see the simultaneous challenges you've set yourself
DeleteFinished 5/13. Slow year so far!
ReplyDeleteMe also -- just made it to four!
DeleteI am at 11 Canadian books, which matches my birth month! Hurray to November! Two are about travelling. Unfortunately one of my own cats has been missing and "The Incredible Journey" gave some encouragement, although one month to my baby's dearly-felt absence of four. Prayers for his safe return have been appreciated all this time.
ReplyDeleteIf subsequent linkies could please hold more than 50 characters, it frees less-fiddling for things to fit. Loved notice about future themes. Without an idea, I withhold books in case they need to fit some other month. It's nice to proceed ahead decisively. Hugs to all! Carolyn. http://cmriedel.wordpress.com/reviews-canadian/
I missed the link-up :(
ReplyDeleteI read 1 in November, so I'm up to 2/13: The Troop by Nick Cutter.
Here's the link to my review:

Darlene, you can also add this link to December's link-up to make sure everyone can see it and pop over to your review :)
DeleteGreat, thanks!
