Finally, the last of my year end countdown lists: fiction (not including poetry and plays). My reading total is only slightly higher in 2011 than in 2010, but the overall Canadian content is definitely higher. Owing to the fact that this year I started the 5th annual Canadian Book Challenge, I've tried to up my Canadian content to levels even the CRTC could be proud of. Here, from my least favourite to favourite, are my 2011 fiction reads:
25. Guy Gavriel Kay- Ysabel
24. Louis Maistros- Anti-requiem
23. Margaret Hutchison- Tamarac
22. Frank Oppel (compiled by)- Tales of the Canadian North

I am so pleased to see Play the Monster Blind heading your list. I enjoyed it so much. In fact, now I want to reread it.
In addition to that, I have only read those Harry Potters and For Those Who Hunt the Wounded Down.
I got Play The Monster Blind as a holiday gift. Now I can't wait to read it!
Whoa, I beat Guy Gavriel Kay, David Adams Richards, J. K. Rowling, & Linden MacIntyre? Are you insane?
