It was hosted by Melanie at her blog, The Indextrious Reader.
It was not a great reading year for me which meant less Canadian books read. I was down to 13 Canadian books for the Challenge when I usually read 17-18 during the year.
What struck me in my reading for this challenge is that 5 of the 13 books were non-fiction. As usual the proportion of fiction v. non-fiction was not planned.
The books read were:
Fiction
1.) Wishful Seeing by Janet Kellough
2.) The Winners' Circle by Gail Bowen
3.) Heart of the City by Robert Rotenberg
4.) Glass Houses by Louise Penny
5.) Dyed in the Green by George Mercer
6.) Body on Baker Street by Vicki Delany
7.) Cut You Down by Sam Wiebe
8.) Full Disclosure by Beverley McLachlin
9.) More Tough Crimes edited by William Trudel and Lorene Shyba
10.) The Mighty Hughes by Craig McInnes
11.) The Work of Justice by J. Pecover
12.) Decisions by Jim Treliving
13.) Sleuth - Gail Bowen on Writing Mysteries - Part I and Part II
In my next post I will discuss the books I read during the Challenge.
Interesting, isn't it, Bill, how some years turn out to be great reading years, while others...don't so much. Still, you read a solid variety of Canadian books, and I look forward to your post about them.
ReplyDeleteMargot: Thanks for the comment. After 60 plus years of reading you would think every year would be a great reading year but I have not found it so in my reading life.
DeleteHow I wish every single book I pick up is a great one. It does make a difference in one's life.
ReplyDeleteIs a person reading a book that he/she can't wait to pick up again at every moment? I want to read those books.
Kathy D.: Thanks for the comment. I start reading every book with the anticipation it will be a great book.
