I didn't realize that the links close as of the end of each month so just added my July book under August.
So I've read 1 Canadian book so far.
5/13 for me
I lost track of the fact that we were to add our links throughout the month so am adding my July reviews to August. I'll not make that mistake again!
Oops, I read two books in July...
The first 3 are my July reads. Oops. I have one more review from July, and I'm reading my 5th book for the challenge already.
But my total for July, with reviews, was 3.
This is a review (Room) for July, but just got the chance to write it now. I'v read 5/13 so far.
I'm up to 3/13 now. I actually read & posted this one in July but just realized that I neglected to add the link here! Better late than never :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't add their July books in July :)
I'm up to 4/13 now.
Up to 5/13

I was off to a slow start for Canadian, but had several on the go. I'm up to 4 now and still have a couple on the go.
I'm up to 3/13 now.
Off to a slow start, but now that I've got that first one done, I feel as if I'm finally on my way.
I just returned from vacation, so I'm adding my one July book to this August linky.
1. Never Knowing by Chevy Steven
which lands me in McLure's Pond in PEI - where I went on holidays!

4/13 for me.
Kathy: Your link for 'The Stone Carvers' isn't working...
Wanda: I've fixed it for her. Thanks for letting us know!

Just so I can keep track for myself: I plan on doing 1 from each province and territory, to total 13. PLUS, 13 from north of 60 (i.e., just books set in Nunavut, Northwest Territories, and/or the Yukon). SO my finale should, at the very least be 26/13.
Province/Territory Track
1. Yukon: Gold Diggers
2, 3, 4 Ontario: Ossuaries, The Bite of the Mango, Scott Pilgrim Versus the World
5, 6, 7 British Columbia: The Tiger, Tamarac, The Magical Life of Long Tack Sam
8. Nova Scotia: Play the Monster Blind
9. Northwest Territories: Yellowknife
10. Nunavut: Far Arden
11. PEI: Bannock, Beans, and Black Tea
Left to complete: Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta (6 more)
North of 60 track
1. Yukon: Missed Her
2. Nunavut: An Arctic Man
(11 more to go)
Total left: 17
Wait for me! I'm at 2/13 so far.
Hey There!
Well, count me in from Quebec!
Hoping that you don't mind that I added my July books under August like Teena has. I keep track of all Can Lit reads throughout the year on my blog, and I'm at 18 for the year so far. This is a great initiative!
Melissa: Hi and welcome! To you and everyone else that added their July books in August, that's totally okay!
This brings me up to 4/13 :)
4/13 - have just joined so they are not from august which seems to be common ") pleased to have found you & all the participants!
thanks for the challenge..
That makes 3/13 for me now.

I just posted one more review. Will have one more within a few days. I was on holidays. I am up to 4/13.
~ Irene
7/13 now John.
Do you still read this much during the year??!!
Thanks!!
Kathy: I'm a teacher and I didn't travel anywhere this summer, that's why my count is high at the moment. I just started work again today, so that'll slow WAYYYY down from here on in.
4/13 as of Aug. 26
Aaargh! I screwed up my link...I meant to add "Robert Munsch books".
10/13 Alone in the Classroom was a good read that was character-centred.
11/13 The Deserters is a great start to a new series showing Canada's history.
Almost forgot to update: up to 6/13 not.
I am up to 8/13.
12/13 Raising Orion is a book I could hardly put down.
HRO Total for August: 2/13

I'm now at 4/13.
Hi John - Teach high school? So you still have to read a lot, but not necessarily fiction of your own choosing! I'm at 8 of 13 for now.
With that last review just in, I am now at 7/13. Thanks!
One last one gives me 8/13.

Wow, 102 books for the month of August! That's fantastic!
Is anyone else using Shelfari to keep track of their reading? I'm using it - and have been for a while - and I've just punched in my current goal of 13 before next Canada Day. It's a good way to keep track of everything that I read. If you've never heard of it, just google Shelfari and it should come up with the website. It's just a great tool for keeping track of books read, book to be read, and all your reading goals!
Happy September reading everyone!!
Melissa, I use AllConsuming to keep track of my books (I have the gadget on my blog) because it also tracks the movies and albums I listen to.
