12th Annual Canadian Book Challenge: the Final & Complete Roundup!


It's the end of the 12th Challenge! This year we have read a huge variety of books.

Here is a quick statistical roundup for all the numbers geeks :)



Together we read a total of 432 different authors. Within all of these authors, we have a total of 572 different titles. There aren't very many repeat reviews for those titles either!

The author who had the highest number of reviews overall, at 16, was Louise Penny. She was tied with LM Montgomery with the most titles read, which was 10 for each. 

The first author to have had more than one title reviewed was Jeff Lemire.

The first title to be reviewed more than once was Vi by Kim Thuy.

The title that had the most individual reviews was An Ocean of Minutes by Thea Lim, with 6.

And looking at the alphabet, we have authors that represent every letter of the alphabet, except for X...which is always a tough one to find :)

So our total review count for the 12th Annual Canadian Book Challenge is 624 reviews


And the complete number of reviews shared in the twelve years of Canadian Book Challenge reading is 8,922!

  3. This is my favorite part of the challenge, seeing a list of Canadian authors or books about Canada. A great reference. Thanks for all the effort you put into this.

  4. It's interesting to see where there are multiple reads by the same author and multiple reads of the exact same book. Sometimes it's where you would guess (LMM for instance) and other times it's a bit of a surprise!

    Thanks for hosting, especially all the work in the final compilation, but along the way as well, and all the best to participants in - and host of - the 13th!
