I am up to 6/13 reviewed. I've got a couple more read, and need to review.
Natural Order is 5/13.
just added book 8: michael ondaatje's secular love.
The Imposter Bride brings me to 5/13.
I'm at 15/13 now.
Just finished the 6th Canadian book for this challenge: 419 by Will Ferguson. So now I've read 2 of the 5 Giller Prize shortlist. I hope to get to Ru before the end of the month too.
Ru brings me up to 6/13. It's not a book geared to everyone's taste, but it might be my favourite read of the year.
I've reached 5: Double Double with my review of Ilustrado by Miguel Syjuco.
5/13 now.
Far North puts me at 16/13 *and* it counts as my NWT book for my provinces challenge!
I just added Starfall (#17) and Mimi's Village (#18).
Just added 2/13 Anna Dressed in Blood
Denison's Ice Roads is my 11th review for the 6th Canadian Book Challenge.
just added book nine (irving layton's taking sides: the collected social and political writings (edited by howard aster).
Just added 6/13. Bring on the Yellow Pea Soup!
6/13 (finally catching up)
Now at 5 with The Salterton Trilogy by Robertson Davies:
Tempest-Tost
Leaven of Malice
A Mixture of Frailties
It has totally slipped my mind to link up my reviews. Just added ones for Starling, The Dead I know, Seraphina and The Witch of Babylon. Which brings me to 4/13
I guess I'm KD now since I just added my seventh book (Ru by Kim Thuy). This is also the third book from the Giller shortlist that I have read which is probably the most I have ever read from the shortlist. Of the three I've read I think The Imposter Bride is my favourite but I suspect 419 will win.
Gentleman Death brings me to 7/13. I have a hectic week coming up, so I suspect I'll stay at 7 for Oct. and pick up again in Nov.
Now at 17/30
Have reached 3 of 13
Through Black Spruce is my 12th review for the challenge.
I'm at 7 books read. I forgot to put the title in my link - it's "Teaching: It's Harder Than It Looks" by Gerry Dee.
Inside makes 8 for me.
Mindscan brings my total to 6/13 for the year

Lake on the Mountain by Jeffrey Round is my eighth read for this challenge.
i've just added my tenth book (michael turner's american whiskey bar).
Really, is this only book #2? Shame on me. It's a good one though - First Spring Grass Fire by Rae Spoon.

I just added "Hold On to Your Kids," which brings me up to 2/13.
Just added Roughing it in the Bush, by Susanna Moodie, which I rather enjoyed, apart from the patches of purple prose and the poetry. That makes it 4/13 and I'm back on track with my Canadian reading.
Hi John,

Take care,
Irene
