Happy 150th Canada Day!
It's been a wonderful 10 years hosting this challenge and I want to say thank-you from the bottom of my heart to all of the participants who have made this a real love for me that I will miss. I am especially happy to note how many Indigenous writers were read for the challenge this year and as Melwyk takes the Challenge moving forward, I hope we discover and read even more from the plethora of talented First Nations, Inuit, and Metis writers. Considering the mixed emotions felt this Canada, I think this would be a small but significant step in the right direction. May it not take another 150 years for true Reconciliation to have happened.
A few stats about the 10th Canadian Book Challenge:
- We've read and reviewed a total of 614 Books!
- The grand total for all 10 years combined in 7646.
- Of the 25 people who signed on, 18 people finished
- Irene, for the 3rd year in a row, read the most with a whopping 242 (again beating her old record)
- Margaret Atwood and Louise Penny tied for the most books read (14)
- There was a tie for the most read book: Alan Bradley's Thrice The Brinded Cat Hath Mew'd and Shari Lapena's The Couple Next Door each had 5
