A Few Blocks by Cybèle Young and A Rule Against Murder by Louise Penny; Read by Ralph Cosham make books 21 and 22. I read both in February but didn't get them posted until now.

The Emperor of Paris is #23 for me. I am trying to read one book set in each province and territory in 2013 but obviously this one doesn't count. So far I have read:
Healthy, Wealthy and Dead by Suzanne North (Alberta)
The Age of Hope by David Bergen (Manitoba)
Away by Jane Urquhart (Ontario)
February by Lisa Moore (Newfoundland and Labrador)
Flight of Aquavit by Anthony Bidulka (Saskatchewan)

#12/13 Thirty Acres by Ringuet

Shonna said...

I've gone back and started a draft blog post for the wrap-up of this, counting up all the books I submitted. I think I haven't been commenting as much as I should, as my count after Speaking from Among the Bones is 27 books read.
Will try to get to 50, but that will likely be a stretch at this point.

The Wildfire Season is my 24th read for the challenge and my book for the Yukon in my own challenge to read one book set in each province and territory.
