Are you a reader? Do you read Canadian books and authors? Did you know there's an
Annual Canadian Reading Challenge !
Neither did I till now. But you can sign up anytime, so I just did.
Go to Canadian Bookworm's website to learn all about the Challenge & sign up!
The main idea is to "read and review 13 or more Canadian books in a one year span: Canada Day to Canada Day eve".
Usually I do short reviews on Amazon so that's likely where my reviews will be. As it happens I just reviewed a Canadian mystery by a British Columbia author set in Vancouver, British Columbia, The Hanging at the Hollow Tree by Sarah M Stephen, the second book in her 'Journal Through Time Mysteries'. Here is her website if you'd like to know more about her.
I certainly did like the book which ticked a # of my boxes - old Vancouver, an archivist, a deadly mystery - so yesterday I bought her first one which I'll review later. I have quite a few Canadian books sitting in my To-Be-Read piles (physical and digital).
Nowadays, I am keeping track of my book reading at The StoryGraph. I'm very happy there!
I saw on the Sidekick newsletter that there is a new app - Bookworm. Looks very cute. What do you like to keep track of your reading? paper & pen, a phone app, typewriter, Goodreads, LibraryThing, The StoryGraph, Bookworm...
